The Apples in Stereo are the indie-rock flag wavers of sunny pop. Formed in 1993 in Denver, Colorado, the band consists of guitarist/vocalist (and Elephant 6 collective co-founder) Robert Schneider, guitarist John Hill, bassist Eric Allen, and drummer Hilarie Sidney. Together they have created a mesmerizing series of heavenly, effects-drenched, pop milkshakes. Their discography includes eight full-length recordings and mini-masterpieces such as the Let's Go! EP, a homage to the cartoon super-heroines, The Powerpuff Girls. The Apples are releasing their first album in five years, the pop triumph New Magnetic Wonder on February 6th, 2007 (Pre-order today! Receive the LP by Christmas! See link above for details). New Magnetic Wonder marks the debut album to be distributed on Elijah Wood’s new joint venture with Yep Roc, Simian Records (co-released and distributed via Yep Roc Records/Elephant 6/Redeye Distribution)
I can't believe only one person demanded that AIS play in Albany. I mean, come on! 1 person? If getting the overnight accomodations are a problem you can always crash at my place. There's plenty of mango ice to go around :)
Thanks for all the years of great music... I really gravitated to the e6 and y'all in particular... and OTC... it's music for those strange little moods...
