The Ape debut album and east coast Australian tour
On the back of their chunky debut single, Crawl Back, The Ape’s marvelous self titled debut album is out on the 4th of October and to celebrate, the band are hitting the road.
The Ape, Australia's latest super-group, are exiled Spanish crime boss riff legend Raul Sanchez (Magic Dirt) on guitar; skin slamming, boy wonder Gus Agars (The Dark Horses) on drums and vocals; style king Pat Bourke on bass and piano; and the Arsehole... sorry, the artist formally known as Tex Perkins on vocals and guitar... The Ape!
Tex Perkins says: "The Ape is the album I was born to make. It is the album that Richie - the president of the Tex Perkins fan club - has been waiting for. It is an album bursting with swing and grunt, and is easily the best thing I have ever done, or ever will do."
