Fight Like Apes announce UK tour & new single


Fight Like Apes return to the fray with a new single – 'Jenny Kelly' – ahead of the release of their second long-player and UK tour. The band will play a run of nine dates, beginning in Leeds on April 30, before finishing in London on May 10.

'Jenny Kelly' is a typically Fight Like Apes skewed tribute to a character from the 1990's low-budget Aussie TV sci-fi series 'The Girl From Tomorrow'. The special effects on the show made 'Blake’s 7' look like 'The Fifth Element'; and as such it has been embraced by Fight Like Apes as a trashy touchstone in their motley milieu.

'Jenny Kelly' will be released digitally on Model Citizen Records on April 04 ahead of their UK tour in early May.

The band will play the following shows:
