About EOA

Funk rhythm is the foundation of the Essence of Ape sound.

EOA pays homage to the sound of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Cream, Mountain, Procol Harum, and 90s grunge. Improvisation is a key focus, both at shows and in the writing/recording process. With good on-stage communication, we try new things on the spot.

Our secret is the diversity and scope of our individual musical tastes. We take bits and echoes of music we like and patch it all together. Our style is not the sound you hear in one scene or another.
