As I’m sure most of you are aware, Fight Like Apes launched their album in Whelans last Friday to a sold-out, radio broadcast crowd. The show ended up involving rubbish bins, gear smashing and a whole lotta sweat. Loreana Rushe was there to capture their triumph.

The band are on an a UK tour with The Ting Tings right now and are back in Ireland from October 12 to the 17th for shows in Cork, Limerick, Galway, Mullingar and Dundalk before a shedload more UK dates in November.
