Fight Like Apes Reveal UK Tour & New Album Details & Tickets

Fight Like Apes have announced they are to unleash their new album ‘The Body Of Christ And The Legs Of Tina Turner’ on April 25th.
Febrile with white heat intensity of a world tour which saw the band travel far and wide from New York to Newcastle, to Berlin to Benicassim, Fight Like Apes decamped to London to work under the production hand of Gang Of Four’s guitarist Andy Gill (past production duties have included Futureheads, Young Knives and Red Hot Chili Peppers). Here, hidden behind the street traders of Leather Lane the new Fight Like Apes long player was kicked and screamed into being.
The Dublin alt-rockers have already garnered a reputation for their raucous on stage antics and quirky track titles from the blogsphere to national music press alike. The album has already caused a furore on its initial release in Ireland in August, charting at # 1 in the digital charts and giving Katy Perry and Eminem a run for their money, entering at # 3 overall.
Like a snotty kid poking a dead crow with a shitty stick; or a scabby knee that you just can't help but keep picking at; these are scenes from the A&E at the end of the world, and Fight Like Apes are open for admissions.
Be sure to catch the band on tour!
