Following the success of ‘Lend Me Your Face’, the mighty Fight Like Apes forge ahead with their new single – ‘Jake Summers’.
Having played at Glastonbury, T In The Park, Leeds / Reading, Green Man, Summer Sundae, Hydro Connect and Offset – to name but a few – Fight Like Apes have gnawed their way into the addled consciousness of the Great British Festival Goer this summer. Their ‘take – no – prisoners’ approach to live performance, belting out obnoxious pop anthems while beating seven bells out of their gear, the stage and indeed, on occasion, each other; has created converts from Kinross to Clapham Common.
‘Jake Summers’ is a homage to Jay Anthony Franke’s bad boy rock ‘n’ roller from 90’s cult TV show ‘California Dreams’ – a key touchstone on Planet FLApe where naff telly shows are lionised alongside Yo La Tengo, Pavement, kung fu, kebabs and ice cream. Also included on the single are two new tracks – ‘Corey Pop’ and ‘Snore Bore Whore’ (Spherical Mix).
The single will be released on CD single, limited edition blue vinyl in a hand stamped sleeve and download on October 20th on Model Citizen Records through PIAS UK.
