About Atomic Ape
Atomic Ape catapults your ears into an unpredictable universe of swirling musical mayhem, creating thrilling cinematic adventures and psychedelic cartoons in your mind's eye. Led by classically trained, composer/multi-instrumentalist, Jason Schimmel (Estradasphere, Secret Chiefs 3), Atomic Ape brings progressive rock, balkan folk, klezmer-jazz, surf rock and more into a smorgasbord of heavily orchestrated, tight, odd-metered, fast-paced compositions with wild improvisations and complex arrangements. Their live sound comes equipped with a mini-arsenal of instrumentalists including: guitar, bouzouki, accordion, sax, trumpet, bass, and drums. Their debut record, Swarm, an über-produced tour-de-force, is being released on Mimicry Records in early 2014 followed by a tour opening for the legendary band, Secret Chiefs 3. Members: Jason Schimmel - guitar, bouzouki Ryan Parrish - tenor and baritone saxophone Trevor Parrish - trumpet, flugelhorn Max Wipple - accordion Rusty Kennedy - bass Mike Lockwood - drums
