“A call to arms and sonic statement against an increasingly polarised world; Atari Teenage Riot return to Berlin on December 2nd.  As an exile of Brexit Britain, I’ve seen the wrong voices amplified stoking the flames of hatred many thought  were consigned to history.  Now we see the pattern spreading globally like a virus – nationalism rapidly eroding the fragile social progress we’ve come to take for granted. From Sam Cooke to Public Enemy, Nina Simone to Georgia O’Keeffe, creatives have long shown the power of art to shape and indeed change the world.  Art is the most powerful weapon all of us have to express ideas and thoughts that can only exist through our chosen medium.  With Burn Berlin Burn! Atari Teenage Riot have curated what will be the first of many events challenging the apathy of the dance floor.  This is not a promotional show or a stop on a tour, this is a necessary response to events we cannot just sit back and watch.”

 

-Zan Lyons *

 

*Zan Lyons is ATR’s visual artist since the band’s return in 2010 Atari Teenage Riot curate first of many events in Berlin challenging the apathy of the dance floor and rise of nationalism Atari Teenage Riot play a new show with live visuals. Expect a hyper speed sonic assault on the senses with ferocious political charge more relevant now than ever before Alec Empire will play a brutal DJ set of crushing shrapnel blast beats and noise Oake will bring their inimitable post industrial soaring dronescapes to the stage for the fist time in over a year.  Zan Lyons will perform a new audiovisual live show merging explosive beats and melancholic live viola with his hypnotic otherworldly films.  Blush Response will be performing a live set of blistering rhythms that punishes speakers and eardrums.

APE SHIFTER Ape Shifter self-titled debut album SQUARE FORMAT cover 2017 med res.jpg
For Immediate Release
Progressive Rock Ensemble APE SHIFTER To Release Self-Titled Debut Album “Ape Shifter”
It was a cold, dark day when the fire burned high and the simian shadow raised his hand through the smoke in solemn praise and exclaimed, “It is time for instrumental rock!”
Germany – Progressive Rock ensemble APE SHIFTER will be releasing their self-titled debut album in March 2017! APE SHIFTER is all instrumental and reaches from rockin’ 70’s riffs played with punk rock ferocity to creeping metal grooves. Intense Simian Instrumental Rock from the nasty pits of the Hellabrunn Zoo.
Born on Friday the 13th in Washington, D.C. and raised in Laurel, Maryland, Jeff Aug is a cool underground guitarist who lives at the foothills of the Alps in Southern Germany for the last 18 years.  He has toured with Allan Holdsworth, Soft Machine, Johnny A., Albert Lee, and has performed shows with Jawbox, Shudder To Think, and Ice-T & Bodycount with his old band.  He’s worked with John Stabb from Government Issue, has been touring and recording with Anne Clark for the last 10+ years, and has been touring as a solo guitarist for the last 20+ years. Jeff can also be heard on the Atari Teenage Riot album “Is This Hyperreal?” (Dim Mak Records / Digital Hardcore Records). Jeff is also a Guinness™ world record holder setting the world record for the “most concerts performed in different countries in 24 hours” twice (2009, 2012)!
Progressive, loud instrumental rock; that’s how APE SHIFTER describes their sound. APE SHIFTER brings you the perfect combination of melody intertwined with fat 70’s riffs and punk rock ferocity.
After 3 albums with his rock band Sorry About Your Daughter, 1 album with his punk band Banana Peel Buzz, 8 instrumental acoustic guitar albums, 3 albums & 1 DVD with Anne Clark, guest appearances with ATARI TEENAGE RIOT, 2 Guinness(TM) world records, and a #1 album on the iTunes Acoustic Music Charts in the U.S., Jeff Aug gives you his new instrumental rock band: APE SHIFTER!

“A wonderful display of rock infused jazz” (Dublin Concerts)

“Alex is not your average, everyday shredding guitarist. In reality, he defies categorization by musical genre.” (Making Music)

 

“Alex Skolnick is that rare thing, a passionate, innovative and adventurous guitarist.” (GRTR UK)

“Originals & metal covers converted into jazz with highly satisfying results.  Sumptuous, technically proficient music” (Egigs.co.UK)

 

Though Alex Skolnick may be well known as the guitarist of the legendary thrash metal band Testament (which he joined at age sixteen, left in the early 1990s and returned to in 2005), these days, more and more recognize him as a “musician’s musician” for whom terms such as shredder, thrasher etc don’t paint the full picture. Describing him as a “genre-defying guitar hero” for a 2015 cover story, Making Music Magazine said: “Though he’s pretty much a household name in heavy metal, Alex is not your average, everyday shredding guitarist. In reality, he defies categorization by musical genre.” (Making Music, Jan 2015).

 

For evidence, one needn’t look any further than the Alex Skolnick Trio (AST). AST blends the conviction of rock with the elegance and sophistication of jazz. Conceived while Alex was pursing his jazz degree from New York’s New School University, AST are known for their sophisticated re-harmonisations of classic hard rock and heavy metal songs, along with originals whose depth, humour and character are enthralling to fans across the musical spectrum, achieving legitimacy in the eyes (and ears) of sceptics while converting first-time jazz listeners to the pleasures of music without mosh pits.

 

The trio’s 2011 album, Veritas, reached the Top Ten of the iTunes jazz charts at no.7, positioned between Dave Brubeck and Esperanza Spalding and was released via the esteemed jazz label, Palmetto Records.  Since their 2002 debut, AST has been honoured with 4 ½ stars by Downbeat, reviewed by Jazziz, The Village Voice, has charted on the Jazz Week radio charts and enjoyed its status among the greats as an NPR Jazz Daily Pick feature.

 

Fans of the group include international superstars Rodrigo y Gabriella., who have taken the trio on tour, and Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo (a noted jazz fan and producer of the upcoming Jaco Pastorius documentary) who joined the band for an impromptu jam at Radio City Music Hall. AST was also the main support band on Rodrigo Y Gabriela’s consecutive European and US tour in 2010, including five sold-out nights in London.

 

Skolnick’s additional instrumental work include his acclaimed 2014 album “Planetary Coalition” (including Horacio “El Negro” Hernandez, Kiran Ahluwalia and many others), “What’s Next?” – a jazz duo album by New York pianist-composer Randy Klein and several stints as a first-call guitarist for electric bass hero, Stuart Hamm. AST’s first live album, featuring two new original tunes, is forthcoming.
