   About GO APE!
GO APE! JANUARY 2005 - MAY 2007

Go Ape! was a live music and club night running on alternate Thursdays at Bath's Moles club. It ran from January 2005 - May 2007. After around 2 and half years, Go Ape's promoter Gareth Jones decided to take a break.

The final Go Ape night was held on Thursday 24th May '07 starring comedy legend Frank Sidebottom, plus music from Steveless and 28 Costumes.

Past Go Ape performers have included Klaxons, Forward Russia, Chalets, Help She Can't Swim, Metronomy, Rifles, Milburn, Victorian English Gentlemen's Club, Silver Sun, Brave Captain (Martin Carr, ex-Boo Radleys), Hot Puppies, 586, Draytones, Tigerpicks plus countless other weird, wonderful, cool and quirky bands from around the world.

Go Ape may return in some form at a differant venue sometime in the Autumn, either as a regular night or just occasional gigs. A decision hasn't yet been made.

In the meantime if you're looking for a gig at Bath Moles Club then please try contacting Steve at www.myspace.com/pulp_promotions who are booking every Thursday night since Go Ape ended.

You may also wish to try Purr who run on Saturday nights in Bath in the basement of the large Fopp record store. Contact Delia at www.myspace.com/purrlive

If you've either attended or performed at a Go Ape night, or if you've contacted us hoping to play a show, then many thanks for your interest and support. It was great fun while it lasted, but a guy needs a break!

Meanwhile Go Ape's promoter Gareth Jones continues to run two club nights in Bristol (DJing only, no live bands).

The last Saturday of each month upstairs at The Hatchet is Lipstick On Your Collar, a night of female vocal records (www.myspace.com/lipstickonyourcollarclub)

Plus on the first Saturday of each month upstairs on the Thekla is "I Love Radio 2", a night of easy-listening, classic rock/pop and guilty pleasures (www.myspace.com/iloveradio2)

Hello. Please do delete this comment if you so wish.

We're just making sure that everyone knows that our debut album 'Horses For Courses' is available to buy from our little record label's online shop:

http://www.donttellclare.co.uk/shop.htm

Its been selling faster than we expected, and we currently only have around a quarter of our stock left - so we thought we'd better you all know that if you want a copy then now would be a good time to pick one up! If you buy it from the link above then you're buying it direct from us, the label aren't taking a cut - so its a bit like Fair Trade for struggling musicians.

International mail-order is available, just follow the instructions.

Thank you very much, and sorry for making a mess of your profile. If its any kind of consolation, we don't have a MySpace bot, so I'm leaving these comments the old fashioned way. Three -and-a-half thousand of them. My life is so exciting.

Lots of love

Hi,

I'm happy to announce that my new album "Songs From The Films Of David Lynch" is out now.

"Truly unsettling and perplexingly brilliant... testament to both the quality of Lynch’s soundtracks and Truax’s talents" - The Skinny

Lynch Album Cover Medium jpg

"Truax is paying homage to a kindred spirit with this album. It's the best kind of tribute – affectionate and respectful, but with its own quirks and imaginative leaps and its own distinct identity." -The Scotsman


"Great stuff." -Buzz Magazine
