Apes Grapes are Dan Brew (guitar, electronics), Jamie Brewster (bass, electronics) and Alex Tod (drums, electronics) The band use elements of groove driven rock, tight minimalist rhythm patterns and electronica augmented swirling harmonic improvisation. Manchester-based from 2012 and with growing critical recognition, their often continuous sets combine composed and improvised sections to, they say, ‘move audiences through a tangible journey…’
Their 2015 northern tour takes them from Manchester to Marsden Jazz Festival and we look forward to adding them to the programme in 2016.
