Fight Like Apes for Dublin instore
FLApes have been disappointingly M.I.A. recently while they crack the UK market, but they're back to play several Irish dates this month, including a one-off show in Tower Records.
The Hot Press Newsdesk, 07 Jul 2008
Fight Like Apes return home this month to play the Irish festival circuit, including dates at Oxegen on July 13, Indie-Pendence in Cork on August 2 and CastlePalooza, Offaly on August 3.
And now the band have announced a special Dublin date on July 18 in Tower Records.
The instore gig is to promote the band's new release, Hot Press Single Of The Fortnight 'Something Global', which is out on indie label Model Citizen Records.
The frightfully catchy little number was recorded in Seattle recently as the band worked on their new album with Sleater Kinney producer John Goodmanson.
FLApes play Tower Records, Wicklow St. at 5pm on July 18. We'd advise getting there early if you want a good view of the onstage antics!

Armed with a sense of humour and a willingness to take the kind of risks other bands shy away from – check our cover shoot if evidence is needed – Fight Like Apes are among the few Irish bands who seem to go looking for trouble. In addition to wrestling with their fans, dissing their mates and merrily using the word ‘cunt’ in a song, the title of their new album alone might just land them in jail. With a bit of luck, that is.

Hailing from Dublin and weighing in at over six hundred pounds, the Fight Like Apes experience is a chaotic clash of electronics and rock, topped off with a frontwoman who can soothe and confront in equal measures. As debuts go, ‘How Am I...’ is a serious achievement, a kaleidoscope of different ideas that somehow manages to hang together and forge its own identity. Most impressive of all, amongst the madness lie three genuinely great songs that – the odd swear word aside – could grace daytime radio with no bother. They’re pretty much everywhere over the coming months, not to see them at least once would be a crime.
