Apeyga
ALBUM REVIEW [by Jim Corcoran] Oct.’07– “‘Forward’ is a vibrant incorporation of light, lush melodic numbers like Liberatus and harder tracks like Rise And Shine. Effects pedals are kicked into fifth gear across the disc, flavouring five of the seven tracks. And these jams are tight, with each song under four minutes. Apeyga seem to be shooting here for quality, not quantity. There are a few evident comparisons to other bands here, most obviously King Crimson. Pinstripe and Liberatus evoke Discipline-era Crimson and would not be out of place during the 1983 Champaign-Urbana record sessions for that band’s Three Of A Perfect Pair release. The End Of Reason, with its monstrous wall of noise, would sit well aside The Construkction Of Light. Other influences abounding here and there, whether deliberate or otherwise, include Rush, Television, Providence, R.I. experimental noise-core duo Lightning Bolt, The Cocteau Twins, and indie instrumental band Tortoise. The self produced disc shines with excellent sound quality and deft musicianship. And judging by the amount of fan testimonials on the band’s website, they are apparently a phenomenal band to see live. According to the date and cities listed on their site they have not toured outside of California. It would be great to see them do that someday. This is a band with a great future ahead of them, no doubt.” -THE DUTCH PROGRESSIVE ROCK PAGE REVIEW

“FUJI MINX, A ‘Glam Bam, Thank you Ma’am’ experience!”
-Erin DeWitt, OCWEEKLY

“I imagine they’d put on a great live show and have really cool videos. They’re obviously a very creative bunch. I can’t help picturing something like Sgt. Pepper’s when I listen to this. It’s sort of a fantasy story record.”
-Amy Lotsberg, CollectedSounds

Bank Holiday Manifesto:
All of our day jobs are spent educating the youth, and because of this we weep. we enjoy playing together. we want our songs heard by as many people as possible, however, don’t mistake our zeal for desperation; we want this on our own terms. our aim is to play/create new and exciting sounds that keep our collective interests; when that ends so do we. each of us can list favorite bands and influences a mile long, but instead of boring you with details we can only offer you our songs, which have been critiqued extensively, far beyond you could ever imagine. So please listen and send us your thoughts, we’ll just ignore them and continue to play until we feel like it should end. your friends, bank holiday
