Fight Like Apes - Lend Me Your Face

What happens when four highly motivated couch potatoes, trawl through the b-movie underworld in search of the purest of gold...? They Fight Like Apes!

Hailing from Dublin, and weighing in at over six hundred pounds, Fight Like Apes combine the Synth with the Sword in a heroic conflagration of loutish vocals, brutal bass and digital distortion.

Formed in 2006 from the remnants of various "crap bands", with an avowed intention to scare audiences with "poppy songs played so obnoxiously that everybody leaves". Fight Like Apes are: MayKay (vocals, keyboards), Pockets (keyboards, backing vocals), Tom (bass, backing vocals) and Adrian (drums). ('Pockets' so named for his habit of pocketing his cohorts' cigarette lighters).

Warming to the thrilling FLA live experience, audiences first stopped leaving and then started coming to their gigs. Encouraged, Fight Like Apes released two EP's in 2007 on Dublin independent label Fifa Records. The first one - 'How Am I Supposed To Kill You If You Have All The Guns' - spawned 'Jake Summers' (a fan letter to 90's teen-drama 'California Dreams' ); which was picked up by Fierce Panda offshoot Cool For Cats for a UK 7" single release.
