Macaca Mulatta

New tracks online taken from our live recording at the Tote, the CD is on sale at www.macacamulatta.com
Macaca Mulatta is fiercely Independent, DIY, full of passion and energy for what they do, It's music with excitement, with something to say and the guts to say it, music that gets the audience moving, dancing, shouting along and sweat dripping from the walls. Drawing together a wide variety of influences, the band posses a raw sound, a mixture of raucous calls to arms and slower, dark, brooding epics.
The UK line up of Macaca Mulatta (consisting of Chris Chinchilla, Jim Rhesus, Arran Lovechild and Dan Lobster) rapidly formed several months after Chris Chinchilla left infamous Indie-stars, ‘Art Brut' and London Punks, ‘Rhesus' imploded. Initially cobbled together to support ‘The Rakes' at a secret gig, the band speedily developed, playing dates all over the UK and further afield including New York City.
‘Prime Evil demos' was the bands first demo, recorded half in a dark, dank and dreary old distillery in Deptford with electricity borrowed from the car wash opposite, and half in a front room in Brixton, engineered and produced by the band and infamous Les ‘Fruitbat' Carter of 90's superstars ‘Carter USM'.
The current demos, simply entitled 'Macaca Mulatta' is a summation of several months of hard gigging at a series of well attended and well received dates with repeat bookings, promoters and fans alike raving about the band, It was also the first recordings featuring new guitarist ‘Dan Lobster'.
Chris Chinchilla recently relocated to Melbourne and now the Australian line up of the band is fresh out of rehearsals and hitting the streets with the songs taking a fresh, more frantic feel.
We've done all this so far with little or no help, no major press coverage, no money and no celebrity fans, just pure hard work and a love of our music. It's been a struggle, we hope you enjoy our music, please let us know if you do, we play anywhere and any time, so get in touch.
