Live Review from Underground 35: Make no mistake, Very Ape are a very heavy, a very loud, but at the same time a very melodic band. These four Japanese musicians are quite possibly insane, and one of their instrumentals lasted longer than some other bands' whole songs, but they didn't lose the crowd for one second. Their rock has an almost jazz-like quality that takes a heavy sound and makes it so much more likable and accessible than a lot of other music out there. Their additively groovy rhythms had everyone on their feet and (almost) dancing - by 'everyone' I mean the crowd, bar staff, even the photographer! It's a good thing that they were on last because it would be hard to find a band in Hong Kong who could have followed Very Ape at Underground 35


BIOGRAPHY:
The explosive Very Ape have been a favourite on the Asian
music scene since 1998, from winning the second prize
and best guitarist at the Gold Coast Monmortre Band Festival 2000
to playing at Rockit 2004 to first runner up at the HK World
Battle of the Bands 2005.  Having played Formoz and Spring
Scream in Taiwan a total of 8 times in the last five years!.
Their heavy and noisy music has an underlying groove
which keeps you captivated. These four Japanese musicians
have their hearts and musical pulses on creating and performingoriginal songs.
