A peaceful yet post apocalyptical ambiance is the scene Ape School paints in Michael Johnson's latest creation. Before the vocals enter the picture, futuristic echoes set the stage and the coast appears to be clear. Then a smooth even-keeled voice arrives bringing with it a sense of relief like a cool mist hitting your face. Slowly the instrumental layers build as life naturally reemerges from every corner and crevice of protection and so begins the new age. When you scan the surroundings, The Homophones fronted by Jason Ferraro might catch your eye. Ferraro's rich baritone vocals [...]
This past Saturday Kung Fu Necktie was taken over by plenty of familiar faces from local (and national) indie music scene sharing their latest works with friends and fans.

Slick was also pulling double duty laying down some thunder with headliners Ape School . This all came after a rollicking set with Dr. Dog the day before at WXPN's Free at Noon. (The guy is a drumming machine.) Sandwiched in [...]

When I last posted about Mike Johnson aka Philly's Ape School it was for the wildly ambitious and brilliantly animated "Wail to God" video. Now he is offering up the EP Ape School Remixes featuring re-workings from his debut album. Two cuts, Andrew Broder's sedated and Beatles-esque version of "That's OK" and Yppah's texture-laden "My Intention" ...

Ce matin, Jean-Pierre s'est levé à 6h45, comme d'habitude. Il a préparé le café, pendant que sa femme Geneviève coupait le pain et sortait beurre et confitures du réfrégirateur. À 6h57, ils se sont assis tous les deux, face à face, leurs bols remplis de café fumant. Jean-Pierre a attrapé la télécommande et allumé la radio, geste machinal et quotidien, pour les informations de 7h00 sur RTL. - Jean-Pierre ! Jean-Pierre ! cria la radio. - Hein ? Chérie, tu as entendu ? La radio m'a appelé ?! interrogea, interloqué, Jean-Pierre. - Hmmm ?... [...]

I'm really failing, at the moment, trying to understand Anthony Schepperd's directorial vision in Ape School's latest video for "Wail To God." I'm certain of one thing, though: it's awesome! I mean, how can you go wrong when you mix in apes, violence, robots and MOUNTAINS OF BOOBS all together? You can't, I tell you. [via Buzz Grinder ] "Wail to God" Music Video from Anthony Schepperd on Vimeo .
I've never listened to Ape School and, as intriguing as it appeared, naturally skipped over an email in my inbox with said band name in the subject line. Only after a tweet from fellow Kentuckian Sean, founder of Buzzgrinder , it became apparent there was no more avoiding Ape School. The song "Wail To God" contains enough tripped-out funkiness to stand alone, yet the new video does wonders for the song. I'm not even sure what's going on in this world of monkey and machine, or why there are blossoming mounds of boobs erupting [...]
