Victoria outsider songwriter-accordionist David P. Smith deconstructs/reconstructs blues and roots with unique musical primitivism and sad, savage, slapstick, surreal songs. Humour and despair grapple on a desolate cerebral plain. Souped up and delivered hot through a tube-driven amp, Smith's infectious, rhythm-driven accordion playing owes a debt to R&B and Cajun music. 

Smith’s killer band, The Ape Shit Army, serves up a sonic blues-roots stew with a rock solid backbone courtesy of  Jody Johnson (bass) and Rad Juli (drums), spiced with Dan Weisenberger’s tasty guitar work. 

David P. Smith & The Ape Shit Army are:
David P. Smith - vocals/accordion
Dan Weisenberger - guitars
Jody Johnson - standup and electric bass
Rad Juli - drums
