  Cry Blood Apache - Funny Money
Download   |   Stream

Austinites Cry Blood Apache mobilized in March 2005 under a stringent "non-booking" philosophy (i.e. busking and crashing organized shows as preferred methods of performance). CBA's sound blossomed accordingly, pulling inspiration from desolate industrial ruins, unspoiled Hill Country terrain, and bustling city sidewalks in equal measure.

A compact setup of drum machine, bass, synth, and guitar provides a street-ready wall of electro-hum while the atmospheric whispers of vocalist Kaspar Glass add a dash of mad, yet humanist, prophesy. Glass' unique flute melodies weave their way above the technological roar, projecting an earthy sense of New Age mysticism.

To date, the group has played the Version '06 Media Festival in Chicago, The Memphis Blues Garage (TN), Austin train yards, the San Antonio Riverwalk, downtown alleyways (in Houston and Little Rock), Larry Flynt's Hustler Club (Shreveport LA) parking lot, a Galveston Massage Parlor, and even an impromptu concert inside the Texas Music Museum. However, the group is not totally estranged from traditional music venues (Emo's of Austin, and Clark's on Main in Houston, have been infiltrated, among others).

In early 2007, CBA will complete a follow-up LP to their debut "Performing Diversion Acrobatics" (2006). The group had previously released a cassette-only EP on Alamo, Texas' Blackk Wainbow Records in 2005.
