Fresh AND complex.
Mainstream AND Jazz.
A strong identity AND various musical influences.
Next.Ape is Antoine Pierre's unclassifiable project. They offer a cross-over music that cleverly mixes trip-hop, electronics, jazz and rock. The band is composed by European jazz musicians: Veronika Harcsa (singer, Hungary), Lorenzo Di Maio (guitar, Belgium), Cedric Raymond (keyboards, effects, guitar, Belgium) Jérôme Klein (keyboards, Luxembourg) and Antoine Pierre (drums, Belgium).
Within 3 years, the band has shaped its sound: a slamming snare drum, a deep bass on the Moog, a distorted guitar, some profound keyboards and a clear and charismatic voice. The groove is hectic and incisive.
Next.ape released an EP in 2019. They toured in Belgium (PBA, Bozar, Botanique, Reflektor,...), Luxemburg (De Gudde Wëllen,...), Hungary (A38-Ship), Morocco (Chellah Jazz Festival), Canary Islands (Canarias Jazz y mas festival). They invited the great saxophone player Ben Wendel for their first shows. They are now working on their first album.

Lyrics
This time round it's the last
one more car and the rest
stuck in a clean array
car snake eats its own tail
not one move 4am
here's to you traffic jam
Aircon on pure discharge
thank you for buying large
no one knows how to quit
obsessed with the latest shit
breathe afresh walk anew
do like Earth lovers do
(refrain)
This time round it's the last
one more car and the rest
stuck in a clean array
car snake eats its own tail
let's get out come undone
each and everyone
breathe afresh walk anew
do like Earth lovers do
(refrain)
