When Apes & Androids announce a show, it is not just another concert. It's an event. Whereas most bands will settle for going on stage, playing the music and taking the audience's money -- A&A treat each show as a new frontier. A unique experience that everyone in attendance can look back on and specifically remember years from now. Last Friday night was just about as unforgettable as concerts get these days. For a local band with no real representation, just a die hard fan base and infinite imagination, this felt truly like a do-it-yourself epic. The amount of time and effort that must have gone into preparing for a show like this, from building the costumes and set pieces to recruiting the chorus who joined them on stage for the finale, is just staggering. And the final production, all coming together in front of a sold out Bowery Ballroom, was a truly remarkable feat. It's almost unfair to hold other bands to the standard Apes & Androids have set for what can be done at a live show, but they manage to make nearly everything else seem underwhelming. We highly recommend checking out Steph Goralnick's photos from the night.
