We were afraid that news of a fresh PARTY APES record would open the square portal that separates our dimensions, and allow these hard-partying beasts to once again walk the earth.

Introducing PARTY APES - the newest of the new on Thirsty Records!
PARTY APES is the fresh groove-oriented project from J. Fred Resin and Lowball Jack (from Witherin’ Johnson). Fresh out of rehab the boys pulled together a positive mental attitude that boogies with way more than just 12 steps.
All songs on “Funk 4 Wha Cha Know” are performed by Kelvyn Bell along with featured guests: Jamaaladeen Tacuma (Bass on tracks 5 & 6), Graham Haynes (Cornet on track 2), Tony Lewis (Drums on tracks 1, 3, 7, 8, 9), and Carlos Henderson (Bass on on tracks 1, 3, 7, 8, 9).
Produced by LOWBALL JACK and KELVYNATOR.
KELVYNATOR’S “FUNK 4 WHA CHA KNOW” IS AVAILABLE NOW AT:
