| "Percussionist Darcy Ward started things
off for Naked Ape by jumping onto the stage wearing only white leggings
and spider-print underwear. But what held the audience's attention
was a unique salsa and rock combination.
"Each member took the mic, trading
off throughout the set. Bassist Denise Woodward incorporated ape noises
into her songs, and her spontaneity seemed to inspire the other players,
especially guitarist Johnny Prong, whose Hendrix-inspired work, along
with the steady drumming of Dave Ward, provided an underlying rock base
for the band's unusual sound. Keyboardist Doc provided narrative lyrics
while Ward manipulated congas, bongos, woodblocks and tom-toms.
"Naked
Ape posseses the kind of unforced intensity that indicates that they
will eventually have a very good band."
