TheCrystalApes

Electronic Indie - Tearing Down the Barriers TinTin weaves several styles into her unique and unifying sound. She tears down stylistic walls by combining electronic sound, guitar walls and British influences without conventional thinking or fear of the unknown. The recognition effect of TheCrystalApes‘ music is mainly achieved by her distinctive voice, it‘s the “golden thread” in all of their songs. TinTin began to define and realize her sound universe in Hamburg back in the summer of 2006. Dr.Jones joined her the same year and the foundation of TheCrystalApes (at that time simply Crystal Apes) was laid. Rick Dangerous joined the band in 2007, adding the right organic note of a hand-made guitar, which has brought the band‘s music closer to TinTin‘s conception of sound. Since then TheCrystalApes have positioned themselves on the avant-garde between electronics, alternative/indie and industrial. After several live appearances by the newly formed quintet, the album “Galaxies 2.0” was released in November 2008. This “Galaxies” redux reflects the current sound and style of TheCrystalApes but draws on their first album on which it is based. It is available through iTunes, Musicload and many other MP3-portals worldwide. On March 20, 2009 TheCrystalApes have released their first video clip of the track "Hold Me" - it can be viewed on their MySpace (http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=54734424) as well as YouTube. After a longer break in 2009 to write new songs Javi Garcia joined The Crystal Apes in December 2009 and replaced Rick. Currently the band is working on the new material to be released this year and planning the next concert dates. myspace.thecrystalapes.com Read more on Last.fm.
