Insetu’s
Choice : Banda Da Semana
Mob Ape - Crossover
Our second band of the week is inactive and we weren’t
supposed to post but we are doing an exception because this band holds a
special place with Insetus.
When Walkir and I decided to share a place back in 2001, the
best place we’ve got was a small room with the toilet and shower outside,
barely space enough for our things, two beds, a coocker, few clothes and boxes
filled with shitloads of vinyl, CDs, cassette tapes and comics and our sacred
trinity, three stereos each of them only with one function, vinyl, CD or tape.
On our first day there we had to confront gigantic flying
cockroaches, they were overcoming us, until we put on the stereo a demo tape
that I think it was called “Chuva de Lágrimas”, that I bought few days before
from Hocus Pocus, it was our first listening and it was a blast, in few minutes
it was a two people circle pit, no chance to the cockroaches, we were pogoing
until death as they were singing in one of their tracks, we played this tape
over and over.
Mob Ape was formed in João Pessoa – PB in 1997 and after two
well received demo tapes and being on loads of compilations they invaded our
savannah with their crossover and after
facing adaptation problems and line up changes they once more raised, releasing
the CD/EP “Terra Do Medo”.
Today Marcio is living in Brasília and Bilmor still in
Anápolis as they put the band on indefinite hold and Insetus is asking them to
bring the crossover back, we miss Mob Ape, their songs and their attitude.
