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

TREMBLERS OF SEVENS

Loud, Heavy, Gritty, played with plenty of passion and plenty of smashin`…Dan Weisenberger’s guitar master blastery and Rad Juli’s primal beat bashery take trad blues and devotional gospel, Turkish delights and Yiddish nuptial nights and make them listen to Black Sabbath and shotgun a few pilsners. https://www.facebook.com/TremblersofSevens/
