***The power of The Apes is unleashed on the new classic blitz Baba’s Mountain. The merging of the rage and energy of their live shows - also known as massive riffage - with studio wizardry began with last year’s Tapestry Mastery. As always, a visionary epic story links it all together. You gotta have a visionary epic story. Without that, why bother? Baba’s Mountain rocks, grooves, and takes you on a ride. Figure it out! • Engineered by Jonathan Krelnick (Trans Am, !!!) and Jason Kirker (Modey Lemon) • Mixed by B. Laswell / T. Waits engineer Oz Fritz • 16-page fold-out, full-color booklet • Full American tour • National press and radio campaigns around record release and tours • For fans of DC underground rock, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Oneida, Modey Lemon • File under: alternative rock, underground power, kick ass, dark and grooving • No exports outside North America

The debut Birdman release from this Washington, DC quartet contains three stories from the beyond told to the band’s blind weaver, Maximilla, as a guide for her to weave a masterpiece. Tapestry Mastery presents six mind-numbing recordings (over 25 minutes of music) with sounds more bombastic, fertile and charismatic than any Apes release to date. They rip it apart live with their signature bass-keyboard-and-drum grooves and singer Paul’s sheer intensity. Tapestry Mastery finds the Apes creating a recording that equals the thrills of their live shows. • Produced by Trans Am cohort Jonathan Kernel • Touring in April and May with Modey Lemon • Legendary shows with Les Savy Fav (tour), Mars Volta (tour), Black Keys, Mudhoney, Datsuns • Nationwide press and college radio campaigns • Previous releases on the French Kiss and Planaria labels • Massive, loyal fan base in America and Europe • Target markets: SxSW, DC, NYC, Baltimore, Los Angeles, Columbia MO, Jackson MS, Chicago
