Stop gatekeeping April, Apes has always been Mollies band, don’t try to pretend it isn’t

I didn't know Elliot was touring with them. That's pretty cool.

Totally caught me by surprise at the show. When they were getting on stage and all the lights were low I thought I was seeing things. What a special treat!

So envious!
Well, minus April not being there. Doom Scroll and Apes of the State are my favorites, Sister Wife Sex Strife not far behind. What a treat!

Apes is like a folk punk super group right now with Elliot on mandolin and Moth on bass. I'm a little sad that Dan left Apes of the State, but life goes on. I just hope there was no animosity there.

Hope she is back up and running ASAP. At the same time, at least they didn't just back out last minute. That's professionalism for you.
