Bald wird man fragen: "Und, was war Dein erster Song nach der Revolution?". Kann's kaum erwarten, meinen Enkeln zu erzählen, dass ich vorhin geistesgegenwärtig nach Autechres "Second Bad Vilbel" auf der PS4-YouTube-App suchte.
(Dass halt jetzt au dem Laptop einfach der Unblocker aufhört im Hintergrund zu rumoren, wird zugunsten der Dramatik vernachlässigt, ich nutze YT allerdings fast ausschließlich über den TV und die PS4)
Mir werden aber die "To all our German fans, here's the vimeo link to..."-Posts auf Facebook fehlen.
Zitat von Bigwombat im Beitrag #615Keine Sorge, der Unblocker hat noch Arbeit genug. Freuen wir uns in sehr absehbarer Zeit alle darauf, daß fast jedes Youtube-Video mit mindestens 20 Sekunden Werbung beginnen wird.
Christine McVie hat bestätigt, dass an einem neuen Fleetwood Mac-Album gebastelt wird. Nur Stevie Nicks hat noch nix von sich hören bzw sich im Studio sehen lassen.
ZitatWednesday afternoon, November 2nd, Savannah Welch was hit by a vehicle at the Wimberley Farmers Market. She was accompanied by her father, Kevin, and four-year old son, Charlie, neither of whom were injured. Savannah was Star Flighted to Brackenridge Hospital in Austin where it was determined the impact injury sustained to her right leg was beyond repair resulting in amputation. She is currently recuperating well and in good spirit surrounded by her family and friends.
Savannah is an actress, known for her roles in many local films including Boyhood and Tree of Life, as well as being a member of the Texas-based band, The Trishas. The outpouring of love and support from the community and beyond has sustained her and her family through this difficult time. She is a blessing and a living miracle to all those in her life. Once we have more information on our needs, details on how to help will follow next week.
Die FIGHT LIKE APES haben nach 10 Jahren hingeschmissen… die Gründe sprechen für sich...
Stick a fork in us, we’re done. We’ve been quiet for a while now. We’ve had a lot of thinking and talking to do. We’d be here all year if we started listing the people we wanted to thank, so we’ll just do that in our own time. You’ll see us all again under different musical guises but, these 3 shows will be Fight Like Apes’ last. We want to call it a day while we’re all still pals and are proud of what we’ve done. And we are very, very proud. It’s a deadly time in so many ways to be in a band; you can have so much control over your work if you’re clever; you can release it how and when you like and in our opinion, right now, Ireland is the healthiest it’s ever been in terms of talent and diversity. But, there are massive challenges for a lot of bands, mostly financial, that make this a tough job and sadly, those obstacles have become too big for us. I think we all know that we're going to hear announcements like this more often. A lot of people don’t seem to understand that we can’t keep producing records if you keep not paying for them. Bands are having to sell beautiful albums for €2.99, labels can’t give you as much support since they’re losing income too and our alternative radio stations* are practically non existent now, meaning so many wonderful bands will not get a chance to get played on radio as they’ll be competing with huge pop acts. Please buy your music in independent record stores or directly from the band. Don’t fool yourself in to thinking that your £10 subscription to Deezer and Spotify helps us at all. It does not. Look how many bands are on there and do the maths.
Please go to gigs. Please buy merch.
Thanks to all you entirely crazy, wonderful people who have supported us and danced and screamed with us over the past 10 years. We could never thank you enough.
I still can’t believe some of the amazing things we’ve done together and how far we came. If anyone needs to get in touch over anything, you can PM us here or mail us on fightlikeapes@gmail.com FLA out.

Zitat von akri im Beitrag #623Die FIGHT LIKE APES haben nach 10 Jahren hingeschmissen…
Die gab es noch? Ihre heimatliche Inselgruppe haben sie letztmals wahrscheinlich 2008 verlassen. Wobei man das ihnen und anderen Bands z.B. aus dem im Statement genannten Gründen nicht übelnehmen kann.
Habe gerade durch Zufall mitbekommen, dass The Artist Formerly Known As A Fine Frenzy mittlerweile wohl endgültig ins Schauspielfach gewechselt ist. Alison Sudol spielt nämlich im aktuellen Harry Potter Nachklapp die Rolle der Queenie Goldstein. Respekt, aber mit einem neuen Album dürfte es auf unabsehbare Zeit nichts mehr werden.
Zitat von CobraBora im Beitrag #628CDs sind offenbar doch immer noch ein gutes Geschäft.
Ich nehme an, dass man die Bootlegs/Counterfeits nicht wahllos auf den Markt bringt, sondern eher seltene, gesuchte Titel fälscht. Zumindest bei Vinyl kann ich das bestätigen.
