Yo yo yo! We are The Apers from Rotterdam, The Netherlands. We've been around forever and have no intention of calling it a day anytime soon. We play almost everywhere, we sleep on your floor and we party harder than the locals. You can take us to the club or to a hair-metal show. Punkrock is about respect, fun and doing what you love. The Apers party with all. However, Kevin refuses to party with dogs.
