| 'Put your hands up' |
| Sometimes everything goes smoothly with the punkcasting, and sometimes not. This would be one of the latter. First, arriving at Studio B in fair time for this - the first major showcase of this extremely hot NYC band - I discovered I'd left my audio recorder behind. This resulted in a frantic cab dash to Manhattan & back to pick it up, but I was up and shooting by the time the band hit their second song.. Then, secondly, after editing the whole thing down and encoding etc, I accidentally wiped it all from my hard drive. Thankfully I had a copy of the DVD I'd made for the band, so I was able to rescue it, albeit at slightly reduced quality. I think you'll agree that nevertheless the results are worth the effort. A&A, like Semi Precious Weapons (featured in PUNKCAST#1142), are part of a fresh surge of glorious glam in NYC. While SPW are coming from rock'n'roll, Apes & Androids are a deal more progressive and theatrical. They employed different lighting schemes and props for just about every song at this show, which was a Four Eyed Monsters DVD release party hosted by popular DJ twins Finger On The Pulse. Here I give you the first three songs after I got the camera rolling: 'Hot Kathy', the nearest thing to a hit the band has right now, features a spectacular keyboard solo; 'Doyle is Dead (The Untimely Death of Dr. Richard Lancelyn Green)' - for which the lights went down and rainbow glo-sticks were handed out to the entire crowd; and 'Put Your Hands Up' - for which the audience were joined by the band's own team of incredibly good-looking cheerleaders. |
