about

This album is a mix of Hard Candy songs that I wrote from 1992 - 1997, after which the band broke up and I went on a physical and emotional hell-ride due to doctor prescribed drugs. I didn't write again until the inception of lola demo in 2002.
The order is alphabetical, but songs are from the albums:
Tattoo (1992) - Loud Records
Amplifier (1993) - Loud Records
Lick (1994) - Loud Records
Junior (1996) - Loud Records
Speed Crash Burn (1997) - ISM Records

We recorded and released Tattoo without having a band. We had the name, but it was just Demetri Vlass and myself. We recorded with the help of Craig McArthur who, in his small studio in Richmond, Whirled Records, filled in the gaps of whatever the two of us were missing.
His analogue studio saw us through the years of Hard Candy.

When Demetri and I wrote the title track Tattoo for the Tattoo album, we new it was the end of Ape The Cry and we decided that we'd become a 3 piece. Dealing with just one more person was so much easier...but was it.
We found Garry Bainbridge, now aka as Garry Seven, through our then sound guy, Andrew Hepburn. After only 1 audition, we asked him to join. We had already released Tattoo and had our first gig only 1 week after Garry joined. First gig was at the Royal Derby, but our home playgrounds ended up being The Punters, The Evelyn, Tote, The Espy, Corner, Public Bar and Prince of Wales.
