First, we are called The Rape Ape, not The Grape Ape. We could only register as such. We hail from NY&La. WE play all over the United States and have done many private events for well known Celebs. Including Beck, Madonna and Bjork to name a few. We play in Tx. alot because we think it f'ing kicks ass. In Austin you can catch us at Room 710 now and then. The Rape Ape is a political statement. the "ape" represents the US government, and the"rape" part represents the fact that all of us are raped by the US Gov. on a daily basis. We are not trivializing the violent act of someone raping another person...So don't get your mind all twisted up on the band's name.
