Ape Machine: Will Eat Your Face

Ape Machine rules. This four piece ensemble of Portlanders are a band of take no prisoners, punch-you-in-the-mouth badasses who have descended upon our fair region to remind us of the acid rock days of yore.

The most recent album, their sophomore effort entitled, "War To Head" was released in September. I consider it to be a deliciously crafted throwback to the classic rock genre that once housed Acid Rock legends such as Alice Cooper and Deep Purple. Keith Anderson, in his review on Newreview.net furthered this point by saying, "only missing the ticks and pops from genuine vinyl to actually transport me through time back to 1976."

Ape Machine is growing steadily in their notoriety with this new album; especially outside of the Northwest. Following their February 16th show in Eugene, the band hits 1-5 South to take their set list to the great state of California, for a 7 show in 8 night swing that covers from Sacramento down to San Diego.

You can catch them again in Portland at the end of the month, on Feb 25th at Tiger Bar.
