(2007), David Carradine is a Bounty Hunter Whos Robotic Arm Hates Your Crotch (2007) and Whigfield Sextape (2014), and two albums, Fight Like Apes and the Mystery of the Golden Medallion (2008) and The Body of Christ and the Legs of Tina Turner (2010).

In 2009, they released an EP for the American market titled You Filled His Head with Fluffy Clouds and Jolly Ranchers, What Did You Think Was Going to Happen?.

Fight Like Apes formed late 2006 following the breakup of the band Soft Cuddly Toys by Mary-Kate Geraghty (known as "MayKay"), Jamie Fox (known as "Pockets"),[3] Adrian Mullan and Tom Ryan.

[4][5] MayKay and Pockets first met as teenagers on holiday in Spain where they realised they both went to nearby schools and shared the same "extremely optimistically cynical outlook on life".

[3][7][8] In May 2007, Fight Like Apes won Phantom FM's Topman Unsigned Band Search; their prize was to be a support act of The Holloways at show in Dublin.

[9] Fight Like Apes played both Electric Picnic (their first major Irish festival)[10] and Hard Working Class Heroes in 2007[4][7][10] and also performed at the CMJ Music Marathon in New York City.

[15] Fight Like Apes were invited to participate in the sixth series of RTÉ's annual Other Voices music show,[16][17][18][19][20] performing on 19 March 2008.

[28] The band spent a month in Seattle, Washington, in early 2008, recording tracks for their debut album, produced by John Goodmanson.

[5][30][31] The album, titled Fight Like Apes and the Mystery of the Golden Medallion, was released on 26 September 2008 on Model Citizen Records,[32][33][34] selling continually well in Ireland and the UK.

[36] The Irish Independent, on the other hand, "strongly urge[d] all not to waste their money" on "the woeful debut" of a band with "lots of blogger and media friends, all aurally challenged".

[40] The Prodigy personally invited the band to support them on their sold-out arena tour of the UK; all of the members are fans of Fight Like Apes and Liam Howlett entered their dressing room to give his regards.

[5][6][35][41] Sony Music Entertainment Japan signed the band for the Asian release of Fight Like Apes and the Mystery of the Golden Medallion.

[36] The newspaper claimed that "Ireland has, quite simply, never seen a band like Fight Like Apes", reasoning that this was due to them "acting as a palette-cleansing antidote to the dour "woolly jumper brigade" that dragged Irish music into the depths of despair not a decade ago".

[needs update][64] The Body of Christ and the Legs of Tina Turner, the second album by Fight Like Apes, was released in Ireland on August 27, 2010, through Model Citizen Records.

[66] The band began promoting the album in Ireland on July 30, with live performances in Meath, Cork, Galway and at Electric Picnic in County Laois.

It's a deadly time in so many ways to be in a band; you can have so much control over your work if you're clever; you can release it how and when you like and in our opinion, right now, Ireland is the healthiest it's ever been in terms of talent and diversity.

[76]On 23 April 2023 Fight Like Apes announced their return stating they'll be playing at Electric Picnic that year, posting the line up and the following on their Instagram: The first & worst festival appearance we ever made was @epfestival in 2007.

[79] BBC Radio 1's Steve Lamacq has described Fight Like Apes as a "great Misfit band" inhabiting "a lonely place out on the periphery of the indie rock world".

[49] Today FM presenter Alison Curtis has described them as "really talented... kind of rocky and metallic and their front girl is extremely watchable, almost going into Debbie Harry territory".

", "a thumping bass driven flourish of a song",[10] displays the band's "trademark twin-synth attack"[81] and the Pixies-style "Canhead" has been described as "a concise ode to fish and chips".

[10][82] Musically they are fond of My Bloody Valentine, Mclusky and Tom Waits, Grand Pocket Orchestra, Adebisi Shank, Jape and Giveamanakick.

[3][5] They dislike guitars and have been known to perform with kitchen implements such as pots and pans when on stage;[4][10] MayKay and Pockets even play keyboards with their heads.

[5] They purposefully construct lengthy record titles to "piss off" journalists and radio presenters and their self-defined "karate rock" genre was directed at the NME after the British magazine tried to place them in the same category as two other female-fronted bands.

[4][10] Vocalist MayKay has been described as one of Ireland's "most mesmerising front women" in recent history, with her long black hair and banshee wail.

[83] The band claim to have never written anything fictional and their lyrics have been described by Nadine O'Regan in The Sunday Business Post as "occasionally literally gynaecological in their detail and regularly relatively shocking in their honesty".

[5] The band's debut album, Fight Like Apes and the Mystery of the Golden Medallion, was nominated for the Choice Music Prize in January 2009.

[5][59][84][94][95][96] In September 2009, Fight Like Apes were nominated in the Best Breakthrough Artists category at the UK Festival Awards, competing against three British and one American acts—Florence and The Machine, Little Boots, Passion Pit and Friendly Fires.
