The Apples is an Israeli funk, jazz and groove nine piece – including a drummer, upright bassist, 4 brass, 2 DJs and a sound console operator.



The Apples started out in 2002, with the idea was to create a funky base combined with samples, scratching, and a dominant brass division. Their first impressions were actually spontaneous improvisations, which formed the basis of The Apple’s first album, ‘Mitz’ (Hebrew for ‘juice’), published on 2003, which was recorded in one recording session.



Their second album, ‘Attention!’, was released in October 2005. The album launch was accompanied by a tour culminating in New Year’s Eve at the Comfort club in Tel Aviv in front of an audience of 700. The UK edition of ‘Attention!’ followed in 2006.



In January 2007, The Apples toured for three weeks in Britain including a residency at the London Jazz Cafe. This was followed in 2008 by the bands third album ‘Buzzin’ About’, through London’s own Freestyle Records and again in 2010 by fourth album, ‘Kings’, on which the band collaborated with Fred Wesley, the Trombonist musical director of James Brown, and Shlomo Bar, lead singer Natural Selection. Fifth album ‘Fly On It’ followed in 2012.



Now the band are gearing up for the 2016 release of their sixth LP and will be hitting The Fleece Bristol in support of this.
