The Apemen - I Got Soul 7" (1993)

Dos buenas canciones de este estupendo grupo mod Alemán. Los conocí a través de el disco "Modstock , Saarbrucken '94" de Detour, un par de temas en vivo junto a varios más representantes de la escena mod de esos años, Jaybirds, Statuto, Clique, Aardvarks, Beat Set. Pero de ese disco ya hablaremos en su momento. Ya hablaremos también de otro single de Apemen, "Love Train" del 94 y de su larga duración "Phantacity" de 1996, estos ya con Detour Records.

THE APEMEN were founded in 1992 in saarbruecken/germany, but their music and looks can only be described as a 100% pure British mod. Although their music is deeply rooted in the style of early British R&B and Beat bands THE APEMEN are not stuck in the past. Amongst a few classic cover versions, their set mainly consists of their own musical compositions.

Over the past fifteen years, THE APEMEN have become one of the most exciting live acts on the European Mod and Sixties scene. Since 1994, THE APEMEN have released several records on the Detour label in London. Other APEMEN releases are to be found on various German, English and Japanese samplers.THE APEMEN have already added a nineties edge to the swinging sixties and are just about to catapult it into the next millennium and beyond.

For THE APEMEN, each gig is like beeing on a mission. (myspace)
