So there’s a band, the Apple War, composed of four people who live in Ballard. They have a gigantic organ that they drag to all their shows. It looks quite heavy but makes some amazing sounds. They are a rock band. I would say their sound is a combination of Brit-rock and Motown. Their rhythm section is heavy on the funk and break beats. Their singer has shades of glam rock in his voice. They sometimes like to play angular, Pablo Honeyish guitar parts.

These guys are relatively new to playing shows in Seattle, having played their first one about four and-a-half months ago, but they’ve been keeping real busy since then.

The Apple War is playing a FREE SHOW at the Skylark tonight (3803 Delridge Wy SW), with two other excellent acts: The Geese and the Maldives.

Here’s The Apple War’s music video. The song is called “Psycho Stepper.” It was filmed in one day by Freedale Films, the Apple War, and friends. Check it out, and if you like it come to the show!

More songs can be found on their myspace at www.myspace.com/theapplewar. Keep a look out for their first full length release which will be ready in the middle of November.
