Apache Beat
Apache Beat, in celebration of CMJ’s NME Party last Tuesday at the Annex, released a new 7″ called Tropics and it sounds as hot as their singer Ilirjana Alushaj. Apparently the NME loves these guys.
Based on the “Tropics” song, I can sort of see why; it does sound kind of like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Also, if you listen carefully, you’ll notice African-type drumming.
You can pick up the 7″ on Summer Love Limited, with artwork by “design house Rinzen” (I have no idea who that is, but he seems famous).
Their debut album won’t be available until 2009, and I believe it may be called Last Chants. In the meantime, be sure to check out these few shows in New York:
- 25 Oct 2008 CMJ – The Studio, Webster Hall Manhattan, New York
- 17 Nov 2008 Blender Theater @ Gramercy Manhattan, New York
You can download “Tropics” from NME.com
