Fight Like Apes

Just heard them on myspace. Absolutely brilliant. . A mix of pixies /breeders & Keyboards as well Kinda hard to pin them down though. Think they've got a gig in bud rising. Anyone heard much about them??

lordgoat

I like em alot too

escobar

Just checked .They're playing with Future of left in the Village . Should be a brilliant night. Any news on an album release date...

Creature

Terrible band. The singer's voice gives me a headache .

Royale with Cheese

Agree with creature. Pure shit. Their daddies must own phantom too because they never shutup about them despite their obvious shitness.

escobar

Not to everyones taste but then again that's why it's alternative. Can't argue with Phantom. Main stream bores me.

flynnduism

so far they've released 2 EPs, no album yet. you should be able to get them in Tower or Road

1st EP 'How am i supposed to kill you if you have all the guns?' was released April last year, and followed up in October with another 4 song EP, titled 'David Carradine is a Bounty Hunter Whose Robotic Arm Hates Your Crotch'

xOxSinéadxOx

iamhunted

Tommy the Cat

They're a great band, i love dancing along to them, i have never seen them live hopefully i will get to soon

I caught a bit of em on other voices there a week or two ago and must say I was well impressed..

Bren_M.Records

Think of them what you may but as this thread shows they tend to invoke a strong reaction from people.
In itself thats something of a victory for the band dontcha think?

they are good, but there are better bands out there doing similar things.

Do you think they are similar to SEBP? Hmmm i only know a couple of songs so i'll go and check out some more now.

stateofflux

terrible..kinda kitch 80's ...no good tunes....doing well due to ties to frank and walters...

Jonny Arson

they are one of the worst bands i've heard in a long time and that takes some effort with the sheer amount of useless sh!te out there.....

Hooray for Humans aint half bad

Lucy Lambourne

FLA???
I can't understand why every female fronted Irish band of the last few years thinks no-one will notice how blatanly they are ripping of the Yeah Yeah Yeah's

Denalihighway

I think the FLA / YYYs comparison is way to simplistic - you'll have to elaborate a bit there!
For one thing, from what I've listened to from both bands, tha fact that YYYs have a guitarist (and a quite sublime one in guitarist Nick Zinner IMO) means they're fundamentally sonically different. If yer talking about the dramatic, erratic female vocals and stage antics etc...well, there's a lot of bands with that too!! Weak argument unless you can back it up.

I quite like FLA cuz they're lively and dont take themselves seriously, (which is a good remedy for the shocking amount of bland indie guitar rock bands out there at the mo) sometimes they go a bit near 'novelty' for me personally though, but they sucked me in at a killer set at Castlepalooza last year I admit.

Hooray for Humans sound decent enough but their sound is far more sparse then FLA and as for SEBP... put the songs side-by-side, whereas FLA is a hookfest, SEBP wouldn't know a hook if it came up and bit them in the ass (though I'm only basing that on their singles)

I quite like FLA and after seeing a few headline sets recently I've realised there's more to them then radio hits. Definitly a band that have the proven ability to improve, which is quite essential really in this biz.

I love them, saw them in UCD last night, thought they were fantastic, although the sound wasn't great unfortunately. Still, they were quite amazing

However, I know they are about to become "cool" and half the country are about to jump on the bandwagon which kinda sucks!!!!

why? i ****ing hate this elitist attitude. isn't everyone entitled to listen to some sort of music? you say people will be jumping on a bandwagon when they become cool, but you're just jumping on a different bandwagon when everyone else starts to like them

why should you care if a band is cool or not, if you enjoy their music why should you give a flying **** as to who else likes them.

GAH!

They turned "cool" a long time ago, you might just be one of those people jumping on the band wagon too... it's all relative and dependent on your own perception.

What a **** attitude!

Saw them in the Village for Bud Rising. It was great to finally to see them live. Even better than I thought they would be....:D Can't wait for the album to come out

buckfast4me

Lead singer is a psycho.

Yeah Definitely full on ...:) were you at the gig...what did you think of the other band..

Karlusss

I love that people think they're about to blow up and lose their coolness. I would date their blowing up to HWCH 2007 and the packed out room at Crawdaddy, but there are probably people around who think it was way before that too.

They've definitely blown up though, Day and Night put them on the cover of an issue where the feature was about Other Voices and it only mentioned them in passing. When the Indo is hijacking their coolness, they have to have arrived.
