Ape Machine Hit the Road Starting Nov. 9; New Album in 2017

Well yeah, it’s been a few months, so seems like it’s about time again for Ape Machine to announce a string of tour dates. The Portland, Oregon, four-piece will head out to shut the door on Spring 2016’s Coalition of the Unwilling (review here), which they released via Heavy Psych Sounds, and move ahead with road-testing new songs as they make ready to record a fourth long-player. Presumably that’ll be out sometime early next year, though whether through Heavy Psych Sounds or Ripple Music, which handled their prior full-length, 2013’s Mangled by the Machine (review here), remains to be seen. And by that I mean I don’t know. Just being honest, folks. Gotta stay humble.

The band sent the dates down the PR wire:

Ape Machine is planning for one more run of dates before the year’s up. We’re basically wanting to try out some new material and have some studio time booked to start working on the next (fourth) full-length. We figured we might as well go rock a few shows while we’re at it!

November 9th: Starlite Lounge – Sacramento, CA
November 10th: Frank’s Place – Fresno, CA
November 11th: Til Two Club – San Diego, CA
November 12th: Pier View Pub – Oceanside, CA
November 13th: Silverlake Lounge – Los Angeles, CA
November 16th: Dante’s – Portland, OR
November 17th: Funhouse – Seattle, WA

The name APE MACHINE is a nod to the days of reel-to-reel magnetic tape audio recording; a fitting moniker for the Portland heavy-hitting quartet as the band plays through vintage tube amplifiers and lays down its songs using exclusively throwback quality studio equipment.

With a heady mix of animal aggression and technical precision, APE MACHINE’s music carries an organic depth and warmth rarely heard since the time of rock’s glorious early years (or your Dad’s bad ass record collection) infused with an exceptional modern sensibility. When the mystical lyrics of vocalist Caleb Heinze lock in with the band’s stone-cold groove, the band demonstrates an earth-shaking ability to rock. A true four-piece, the group has been called “a rock and roll band with a finger on the pulse of the 70’s and their asses firmly in the present” and “real heavy-psych for the iPhone generation” that delivers “true guts and glory rock and roll”.
