The Apples

I already blogged about the funk band the Apples (התפוחים) I heard at Limmudfest:

"Mixing big band jazz, raw groove, scratching and samples, their explosive live experience will have you up and partying into the night". Their line up consisted of: percussion, double-bass, a large brass section—trumpet, trombone, saxophone and bass saxophone—and two DJs dressed in fluorescent yellow jumpsuits. I've never heard anything like it before, in terms of being a combination of scratching with a live horn section!

At the time, I thought it was a novelty idea, but wasn't really interested in listening to their distinctive style of music again. And then I went to the new Moishe House housewarming party, and someone (I'm guessing Daniel) had their track Bulgarians playing on the turntable (vinyl, noch!), and I thought, ooh I recognise that from Limmudfest, and enjoyed listening to it again. And then today I wanted to listen to it again to see whether it's worth buying the track (if I can), and ended up listening to all the tracks from that album they have on YouTube. At this rate, I'm going to end up getting the album...
