In 199X Very Ape has organized and started to play in Hong Kong and Asian countries.
In the beginning, the members had just played copy songs ofAlternative rock in Japanese society. However they couldn't satisfy themselves to play in this way. Also EX-Vocalist MASUI had to leave from Hong Kong.So,they started to compose original songs in order to perform in front of Hong Kong audience with new singer,URASE.
As Very Ape played at independent concert in Hong Kong,their name had been known gradually. In 2000, they performed at Gold Coast Monmortre Band Sound Festival.As a result they got the second prize and Mr. Teramoto got best guitarist prize.
They have been encouraged from this stage and participated in a bunch of Rock Festivals. Specially,they have performed 4 times at Formoz Festival in Taiwan and played 4 times at Spring Scream since 2001.
In 2002, Hong Kong independent label Catharsis Action released the compilation album『逆』 Their song,called Terrorhythm,included in this album and they contracted with Mark-1 Music Centre. They also have participated in Hong Kong independent events,Rock On,in 2002 and 2003 and released their VCD and DVD. The Band was the most active time on that occasion.
In 2004 suddenly their bassist HASA left from the Band. Mr. KOYA,who has been playing Bass in Tommy & All Blues and Speedking and more,joined in Very Ape as a supporting Bassist.
At last,they are back. Their music style are totally different from ever. Even though they used to play heavy and Noise music, they think much importance of groove now.
New Very Ape was back at Rock It 2004 on Oct 22nd . After that, Very Ape has been acting in Hong Kong Indie live like "the Underground" "Listen Up", and joined "Spring Scream" "Formoz Music Festival" in Taiwan (2005).
