Red Fiction (formerly Atomic Ape) was founded in 2012 by Jason Schimmel in Los Angeles, CA. The band has two prior releases under Atomic Ape: a full length album, Swarm, and 7” vinyl, Rampage, were both released in 2014 on Web of Mimicry. Jason Schimmel, who plays guitar, keyboard and bouzouki in Red Fiction, is a current member of Secret Chiefs 3, a band founded by Trey Spruance (Mr. Bungle, Faith No More). Jason is also a founding member of the defunct band, Estradasphere, and has performed concerts throughout the world with John Zorn’s Masada project. The band is also made up of Ryan Parrish (tenor and baritone saxophone), Max Whipple (bass), and Shawn Baltazor (drums). Atomic Ape has toured and connected with experimental artists of all kinds, including Mike Watt, Behold the Arctopus, INUS, Neil Hamburger, Fartbarf, Duk, Burning Ghosts, Qui, Corima, and Major Entertainer.
