Culver City, CA. (Top40 Charts/ APEYGA Official Website) - The recent release "Forward" (July 10, 2007) by fusion instrumentalists, Apeyga, will be performed 11/29/07 in Long Beach, 11/30/07 in San
Diego and 12/7/07 in Los Angeles. The set list will consist of nine songs; 6 from the album, including fan favorites, 151, Liberatus, and Traveler, plus three new compositions. Tickets and merchandise will be available at the venues the night of each show. The current line up includes Justin Peloian- guitar, John Peloian-bass and Pete Pace- drums.
Established in 2003 by brothers Justin and John Peloian, Apeyga has since released two independent albums. The new release "Forward" is receiving rave reviews and has earned the band the "Outstanding Melodic and Instrumental Rock Band " Award by a popular L.A. music publication.

"Forward is a vibrant incorporation of light, lush melodic numbers like Liberatus and harder tracks like Rise And Shine. Effects pedals are kicked into fifth gear across the disc, flavouring five of the seven tracks. And these jams are tight, with each song under four minutes. Apeyga seem to be shooting here for quality, not quantity. There are a few evident comparisons to other bands here, most obviously King Crimson. Pinstripe and Liberatus evoke Discipline-era Crimson and would not be out of place during the 1983 Champaign-Urbana record sessions for that band's Three Of A Perfect Pair release. The End Of Reason, with its monstrous wall of noise, would sit well aside The Construkction Of Light. Other influences abounding here and there, whether deliberate or otherwise, include Rush, Television, Providence, R.I. experimental noise-core duo Lightning Bolt, The Cocteau Twins, and indie instrumental band Tortoise.
The self produced disc shines with excellent sound quality and deft musicianship. And judging by the amount of fan testimonials on the band's website, they are apparently a phenomenal band to see live. According to the date and cities listed on their site they have not toured outside of California. It would be great to see them do that someday.
This is a band with a great future ahead of them, no doubt."
