![]() I nearly saw Guano Apes live back in 2009 during their first post-reunion tour. 2011 saw the release of the first post-reunion album "Bel Air", which the band was promoting already last year and is continueing to promote this year. ![]() Apparently they got along so well and missed the times in the band badly enough to make what was seen as a temporary reform a permanent reunion. That was, until 2009 when the band decided to reform for a reunion tour across festivals in Europe. Sandra Nasić embarked on a solo career which had some succesful singles such as "Say the Name of my Baby" and the other band members got involved with other projects. The band called it an end in 2005 after almost a decade of international success, two last compilation albums "Planet of the Apes" (a sort of best-of compilation) and "Lost (T)Apes" seemed to draw a line under the chapter. "Open your Eyes" paved the path for about 7 years of continuous success with other big hits such as "Lords of the Boards", "Pretty in Scarlet", "Big in Japan" (a cover of Alphaville indeed but with such heavy guitars and vocals that only the lyrics remained identical the song itself sounded extremely different than the original) and my personal favourite of them, the ballad "Rain". The vocalist drew most of the attention from the audience due to her combination of very heavy yet clean vocals and rap-metal crossover phrases, some people even beleving that she was actually a man (which is total nonsense of course as you can clearly hear this is not the case that said, her voice is more powerful than that of the overwhelming majority of male vocalists, even in the hardrock style). It was a direct indication of what would become the band’s trademark: heavy guitars, songs full of energy, and the extremely powerful vocals by vocalist Sandra Nasić. The alternative metal band from Göttingen, Germany, scored a massive hit across the continent with the extremely powerful song "Open your Eyes". I was about 16 years old when Guano Apes first came into my attention. Concert review :, Guano Apes, Sala Apolo, Barcelona.
