“The Apples formed in 2002 with the express intention of combining performance-based funk motion with live sample-tricknology, topped off with a jazz-based front-line of improvising horns. Their first sessions and shows featured non-stop – no, not erotic cabaret, that was Soft Cell – spontaneous, ever-mutating compositions. Over the next two years of constant gigging in dives barely visible to the naked eye as well as proper big outdoor festivals and medium-sized dancehalls, Apples songs took shape. These jazz-funktronic stews were peppered with all manner of riffs lifted from whatever tasty (actually dusty) vinyl they could find on Israel’s second-hand-record circuit, with aggressive horn blasts, RTA (Rapid Turntable Action – we just made that up. Like it?), a sprinkling of middle-eastern beats and anything from Ray Charles samples to traditional Jewish klezmer melodies chucked into the mix. He said, finishing the food metaphor he started 70 words ago. Today, the band are making a name for themselves with their high-tensile version of Rage Against The Machine’s Killing In The Name and the furious energy of their live performances across Europe, not to mention the nurses’ uniforms, Star Wars masks and Village People gear they tend to wear onstage, especially during the boisterous annual beano that is Purim, our favourite of all the Jewish festivals.”
