Fight Like Apes announce new London & Dublin Show,
Remix Single and free live album download
London - Borderline, Dublin - Academy gig, 80KIDZ remix and Dutch live show freebie all coming.
The Obnoxious Pop combo enjoyed a full-on summer of festival high-jinks in the UK, Ireland and Europe. Their well received debut album 'Fight Like Apes And The Mystery Of The Golden Medallion' has been released in Europe, Australia and Japan.

Model Citizen on 7th December.

As a thanks to their fans for their support throughout the year, the band will be making this gig available as a free eleven-track live album download exclusively through this website on Thursday 17th December (MayKay's birthday).
Tracklisting: You Are The Hat / Do You Karate? / Digifucker / Jake Summers / I'm Beginning To Think You Prefer Beverly Hills 90210 To Me / Knucklehead / Lend Me Your Face / Lumpy Dough / Tie Me Up With Jackets / Canhead / Battlestations
Fight Like Apes will be bringing a wrestling ring into The Academy
for a fight night of body-slamming, gut-grappling, seconds out, no holds
barred electronic punk rock. Inspired by their deep love of pro-wrestling,
the three guys and one girl FLA tag-team will be in performing live on
canvas “in the ring”, being built in the venue for this one-off show;
complete with special guests from the world of wrestling.

Greetings to you, our kind friends from Ireland. As some of you may be aware, we had intended to visit your fine and verdant home this very winter, in the deep cold heart of December. Unfortunately, due to circumstance, (that surly old bugbear), we will not be able to make it. Do not fear, no need to rend your hair in agony or take to the streets in mournful procession. This is merely a postponement of our inevitable arrival, as foretold by scholars and mystics of old. This band of rough hewn and unknown balladeers from out the concrete wilds of Boise, Idaho will make joyous landfall in the relatively near(ish) future. In the mean time, we will wrap ourselves in blankets and begin recording our new album, to be released this spring. We greatly appreciate all of your support, comments, and interest, and look forward to performing for you soon. Take care and keep your toes warm. Josh/ASD And here, an extra special gift for you. A video of us covering a song by Boise’s biggest musical export, (no, not Josh Ritter, though he is a fellow Idahoan, of whom we’re duly proud), Built to Spill.
Good gig at Borderline tonight. Loved the new stuff but felt there was way too much chatting between songs. Much better when you stick at what you all do best - deliver what really is the best music that's around right now. See you next year.
