Four-headed Music-Mothra Eats Audience in Rock’n’Roll
Rampage!
If these lads were moths.
But they’re not - they’re instead a tightly-coiled, highly-strung and
overdriven unit of rock bastards, intent ..ging every audience
member with them on their rollercoaster of high kicking riffage, bluster
and stomp. Shamelessly bombastic and hook-filthy - this is ROCK MUSIC,
ladies and gents, with a healthy dose of wit and joy.
Recent years have seen them supporting the likes of Boy Kill Boy, Rumble Strips,
Imperial Leisure, Toby Jepson (ex-Little Angels) and The Spinto Band -
as well as release their debut album ’The Blast Apex’ and follow up EP ’Rocket Science’.
2008 promises to blow all that out of the water.
Get your shiny asses down to witness one of the most exciting bands York has ever produced!

Just a quick spam i'm afraid. I've just completed a music video for MARILLION so thought I'd post it up for you to see. If you like it, pass it on to as many people as possible as the more hits I get the more chance I have of being paid. Take a look and feel free to leave a comment on YouTube. Thanks chaps,
Such a great loss to yorks music scene Come back tour surely on the cards for 2009 ??
Still What ever you do Dan Alex Andy & Leo All the best for your future musical adventures, and Keep rocking, and for giving us 10 years of AKP Goodness
Sorry to see you split - reviewed the blast apex, and found it to be a corking record! All the best to you lads, good luck always, Mike Roberts, (Whisperin' & Hollerin;')
You are invited to Katie & the Questions first gig at the Junction Leeman Road, York on the 9th July. Only £4 on the door.
Katie & The Questions were formed out the prefabs of North Yorkshire in June 2008, when Katie met guitar playing keyboardist ‘E’ after he advertised for someone to play ‘shove halfpenny’ with. They clicked over their love of guitar based music and decided to form a band.
Katie and the band play a pulsating brand of powerpop, new wave punkpop check them out at their myspace site
