THIS WHOLE PARTY APES THING IS GETTING OUT OF CONTROL

Seriously, we did have some concerns that the whole PARTY APES mystique could get out of control, but we couldn’t have imagined this kind of multi-generational appeal.

The cosmic child entity formerly known as LEANDER pictured here is clearly overwhelmed by his newly discovered PARTY APE powers.

Recognize a kindred spirit when you see one, and hail this magnificent L’IL PARTY APE!

THIRSTY RECORDS ANNOUNCES THE RELEASE OF PARTY APES‘ DEBUT EP, “ERASE YOUR TAPES

JULY 22, 2014 (BROOKLYN, NY) – Thirsty Records is proud to announce the release of the debut EP from PARTY APES, ERASE YOUR TAPES.

PARTY APES are go-all-night (m)anthropoids. They are not tame. Do not enable them with money, food, drinks, or smokes. Do not sex them, date them, or even let them crash on your couch. PARTY APES do not know how or when to quit.

PARTY APES is an American alternative psychedelic funk band that sprung fully formed from the heads of a separate band, Witherin’ Johnson. While both groups share members they represent bi-polar opposite ends of the musical spectrum. PARTY APES get their groove on as the tight, fun-loving, alter ego to Witherin’ Johnson’s loose, distorted howl.

Nathan “Bedroom” Forrest        Bass
Rusty Girders                           Drums
Sasha Forte                             Keys, Vocals

PARTY APES debut EP, “ERASE YOUR TAPES”, chronicles a near-mythic night of debauchery spent in the Big Nipple. Seemingly innocent PARTY APES manifest all over the city and manage to inflame the people with their message of hard-partying apocalyptic utopianism. They generate a wave of altered state energy that erases everybody’s tapes, and destroys certain parts of town. It’s nothing less than a public service.

HISTORY

PARTY APES are revered by all primitive peoples – from early cave paintings to crude pictographs on Egyptian pyramids to modern day pop culture trash like “King Kong”, “The Banana Splits Adventure Hour”, and the thinly veiled “Planet Of The Apes” franchise.

Time and again throughout history, PARTY APES have appeared to break the doldrums and get the fiesta started right.

PARTY APES ARE TOTALLY OUT TO “ERASE YOUR TAPES”

They will use their primal cosmic powers to “ERASE YOUR TAPES” beginning July 22. It’s nothing less than a public service, so be warned!

PARTY APE SIGHTINGS & ENCOUNTERS INCREASE IN ANTICIPATION OF “ERASE YOUR TAPES” EP

Yep. They’re all over the place.

The specimen pictured below was waiting for Trent Fowler of Cambridge, MA in front of a freshly painted abstract ape mural on the side of a convenience store. Dr. Fowler, who had stepped out to pick up various BBQ supplies, wasn’t surprised in the least to be hustled with, “Brother, can you spare a six-pack?”.

FRESH PARTY APES EP – “ERASE YOUR TAPES” – TO BE RELEASED IN JULY 2014

Prescott, Arizona’s Sean Haney (aka Reptile Rock Music) had just finished mastering the forthcoming EP from PARTY APES when he was approached by this colorful primate who took him out on the town… to celebrate… in an altered state.

Look for PARTY APES “ERASE YOUR TAPES” EP in July 2014.

THE WILLIAMSBURG BRIDGE IS NOW AN OFFICIALLY DESIGNATED PARTY APE WILDLIFE REFUGE

These astonishing shots were made possible by Alex Smith who captured this extremely well-lit (m)anthropoid monkeying around on the Williamsburg Bridge. Happy Birthday, Alex!
