A couple of gigs:
- Friday 24th Feb at The Oakwood in Glossop. Here’s a FB event page, further details to follow.
- Sunday 6th May at Sounds From The Other City, a great one-day festival along Chapel Street in Salford. We’ll be on at The Crescent, promoted by Fat Out Till You Pass Out.
More gigs are being organised for the next few months – subscribe to this blog or follow us on twitter for updates.
Happy New Year everyone, and we’re launching straight into a flurry of Dead Sea Apes activity. We’ve been back in the studio this weekend, recording some sounds and ideas for future development; I will finish mixing the Astral House EP in the next couple of weeks; and we’re getting some gigs organised for the coming months. Our CD Lupus will be out soon on the Deep Water label (preview tracks on our Music page; some nice responses already from Feral Strumpet and Pig State Recon among others) and we’ve recorded another cover version for Fruits De Mer‘s next LP, due out in May.
Its that time of the year when sentimentality tends to run quite high. With that in mind, all of us Dead Sea Apes would like to thank all of you who have supported throughout the year, be that by writing very flattering things about us, buying our CD (or downloading it, legally or otherwise…) or coming out and seeing us on one of our rare live moments. We’ve had a great year this year, and have some irons in the fire for early next year. We have the new CD on Deep Water and ‘Astral House’ EP coming in the next couple of months, and some gigs are shaping up. We’re alos doing some recording in the first week of January
I’d like to take the time to mention some people who have been mighty helpful to us this year: Michael and Ally, Nigel Cross, Henrik Vincente, Ryan Muldoon, Dave Cambridge, Jeff Grainger, Vesa Lahde, Thanos Stavrianakis, Klemen Breznikar, Kevin McFadin, Emma and Verity from Fat Out, Phil McMullen – and thanks to anyone who has supported throughout the year.
Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year

A nice mention in Terrascope Online‘s review of Keep Off The Grass:
Opening with a wrench of feedback, Dead Sea Apes’ version of Land of The Sun is a sonic masterpiece to be savoured, a powerful and brooding beast…
Hear it now on the updated MUSIC page.
We’ve been selling these at gigs already but they’re now available online:
Dead Sea Apes T-shirts. Get yours here!
Thanks to everyone who came to see us at Islington Mill the other night (and to Fat Out for putting us on), and hello to anyone who heard us for the first time.
We have an interview on It’s Psychedelic Baby which might answer any questions.
Unfortunately due to various factors the gig on the 8th of December at Platt Chapel is cancelled.
Even more reason then to get down to Islington Mill in Salford this Friday (25th) where we’re supporting Remember Remember, along with Elk Blood and Maria And The Gay. It’s £5 on the door but if you contact us you can get in for £3. We’ll be on at about 9pm.
Contrary to earlier suggestions, we are now not playing at Antwerp Mansion this Saturday (12th).
However we are most definitely playing on Friday 25th at Islington Mill, Salford (see previous post) – let us know if you’re even thinking of coming and we’ll put you on the cheap list;
also on Thursday 8th of December at Platt Chapel where we will be joined by Gabriel Minnikin and Vei.
We now have information for the gig on Friday 25th of November:
Venue: Islington Mill, James St. Salford M3 5HW (map)
Doors: 7pm – 11pm, we’ll be on at about 9.
The headliners are Remember Remember, now with two albums under their belt on Mogwai’s Rock Action label. Other support acts are Maria And The Gay and Elk Blood (formerly Dominic O’Donoghue And The Infinite Sadness). Something for everyone!
It will be £5 on the door. There are no advance tickets but if you contact us via the Contact page we’ll put you on the list to get in for a mere £3, which means you’ll surely be able to afford one of our super stylish T-shirts.
