One of my favorite unexpected surprises at SXSW’07 was New York band Apes & Androids‘ set.

The great news is they have a full-length coming out very soon, titled Blood Moon. If you dig Diamond Knights, The Darkness and New Wave silly string freakouts, you’re going to love it.

From the band:

“It’s long and loud and everything about it is big: from the massive riffs, the pounding score and the band itself, which towers above everything and everyone in this mega-budget sonic explosion.” - Adapted from actual Transformers movie review

More info about the release here, including this fancy new song:
