Jodorowskys Ape

Slightly Wonky Rock'n'Roll

About Me


This profile was edited with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !
From the ashes of Watford's shambles of 2 bands known as Bamblefog & Bouncer springs forth a new refined fuzz monster of a band: the almighty Jodorowsky's Ape. Wonky, slightly garagey freak-beat, with a jazz twist.
Launched in 2005 (we think) we all hope to be rich one day, so we can be elevated from mad drunken louts to the esteemed status of eccentric Englishmen who can afford to have gout.
J.Ape trivia: Steve "Rock Monster" Morses' drum kit once belonged to Manfred Mann!! Although sadly we do not cover The Mighty Quinn or 5,4,3,2,1 in honour of this alleged fact.
And one more thing....Dylan, bass guitarist for J.Ape, owns a plectrum that was given to him by, now sadly no longer with us, Stuart Adamson, lead singer/guitarist of Big Country. To the present day, Dylan can be spotted, albeit, on a rare occasion, using this plectrum on such classics as Melanie Bliss, Kick Out The Jams, David Icke, etc.
