Apache by The Shadows

Songfacts®:

• "Apache" stands today as probably the best-known work by British proto-surf-rock band The Shadows. Being a #1 hit in the UK in 1960 was just the beginning; the instrumental song with an Old West motif was a worldwide hit with the #1 position in seven international charts at the same time: UK, Australia, France, Ireland, New Zealand, Spain, and South Africa. With a record like that, why didn't it chart in the US? Mostly because The Shadows didn't get much promotion in America, and also because they didn't go there to tour. Had some enterprising American DJ found the record and given it some spins, this story may have had a different ending, but The Shadows couldn't break through. It took a year before the song finally charted in the US, and it was a version by the Danish jazz guitarist Jorgen Ingmann that did it. He went to #2 with the song in 1961 - his only US hit.
• The Shadows guitarist was a 6-string wizard named Hank Marvin, and his work on this song inspired a legion of young British guitarists. In a 1963 interview for NME magazine, The Shadows referred to this song as an example of what distinctive sound they had that made them special. To get this "Hawaiian sound" (as they put it) to the lead guitar, you need to plug American Fender guitars into British Vox amplifiers. At least, that was how they did it. John Lennon once claimed that The Shadows were one of the only things in British music "worth listening to" before The Beatles came along.
• This song was written by Jerry Lordan, a British singer/guitarist/songwriter who had three UK hits in the '60s, including "Who Could Be Bluer," which was on the charts when he toured with The Shadows early in 1960. Lordan played "Apache" for the Shadows on the tour bus using his ukulele, which he used to write songs, and The Shadows loved it. Lordan hadn't recorded the song himself - the first recording was by the Guitarist Bert Weedon, but Lordan wasn't thrilled with his version, and Weedon's record company hadn't yet released the song, so The Shadows cut their own version which became a #1 UK hit for five weeks and was voted Record of the Year by NME . The Shadows met with resistance from their record company and had to persuade producer Norrie Paramour that it should be the A-side over the naval tune, "Quatermaster's Stores." Norrie was in his 40s and realized he might be a little out-of-touch, so he played both songs to his teenage daughter, who agreed with The Shadows. When he asked her what song he liked better, she said, "The Indian one." Once The Shadows scored with the song, Bert Weedon's version was finally released and charted at #24.
• Jerry Lordan got the idea for this song after watching the 1954 film Apache , starring Burt Lancaster as the Apache warrior Massai. Said Lordan: "I wanted something noble and dramatic, reflecting the courage and savagery of the Indian."
• The Shadows released three singles before they finally hit big with "Apache." The group was also Cliff Richard's backing band, and Richard played on this track. Richard used a Chinese drum to simulate the Old West percussion sound.
• This song became the foundation for many early hip-hop tunes after it was reworked by The Incredible Bongo Band in 1973. This version featured an extended drum break that Kool Herc and other DJs looped in their sets. As Hip-Hop emerged in the '80s, producers put this break into their tracks, and it made its way into a plethora of songs from this era. Some of the tracks to sample it include " The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel ," "Way Way Back by Kool Moe Dee" and "You Can't Dance by LL Cool J." The Sugarhill Gang did a popular cover of the song in 1981.
• Movies that used this song include Baby Love (1968) and Scandal (1988).
• Hank Marvin recalled to Uncut magazine the band's reaction after Jerry Lordan played his demo to the Shadows on the back of their tour bus. "There was something magic about its atmosphere," he said, "even in that very raw, exposed state. We learned it on the bus and in the venues. Then back in London, we arranged it." "First of all I came up with the drum introduction, and then CLANG DA-DA-DAAYI-YA, DA-DA-DA-DA-DAH," he continued. "And I wanted to get some echo on the guitar that gave it a character. It's a multi-tapped echo-it's not too long, but you could hear the multi-taps coming through, and it gives a richness to the guitar sound, and a strange, haunting quality, behind the notes. I wasn't afraid of giving it a lot of echo, because I thought it was such a good and different sound it didn't matter. I was making a statement with this echo. I didn't want to be too discreet with it, because it needed to be almost in your face. You can hear the whammy bar shaking the guitar and getting vibrato, too."
• Though many people recognized the song's hit potential straight away, Hank Marvin wasn't so sure. He recalled to The Big Issue . "It went into the chart at 19 and started creeping upwards. Then I remember we were playing the London Palladium and we got a call from the record company telling us it was #1. We couldn't believe it, we all went potty. The funny thing was, the record it knocked off #1 was 'Please Don't Tease' by Cliff. To be honest, Cliff thought it was great that we knocked him off. He still makes a joke about it when he plays that song."

Comments: 4

• Christopher from Charlotte Nc 28270 I want To add that after The Shadows version became a huge hit and before Jorgen Igmann recorded his version, that Jerry Lordan DID record the song himself along with The Johnnie Spence orchestra. His own recording differs from Weedon's, Shadows, and Ingmann's cover in that in addition to the guitar there is also big orchestral accompaniment. Here's a link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oovh7kgPYBQ
• Barry from Sauquoit, Ny On September 4, 1960, "Because They're Young" by Duane Eddy peaked at #2 on the United Kingdom's Singles chart, as a result the top two records on the Singles chart were both instrumentals... At #1 was "Apache" by the Shadows, it was in it's third of five weeks in the #1 position... Also in the Top 20 at the time there were two versions of the instrumental "Walk Don't Run", the Ventures were at #17 and the John Barry* Seven's version was at #24... * This was the same John Barry, who between 1966 and 1990 would win five Academy Awards, two for "Born Free", and one each for "The Lion in Winter", "Dances with Wolves", and "Out of Africa".
• Roy from Slough, United Kingdom Interesting fact (or not) the B side was actually spelt Quatermasster as in the horror films of that period. the Shadows had a knack for making up funny titles... I suppose you would call it a pun.
• Zabadak from London, England This (or a version of it) was much sampled by early hip hop pioneers...

Coldplay have finally dropped their long-awaited UK gig dates - with fans in for a treat next summer. The band will be bringing their Music of the Spheres World Tour back to the UK next year, with performances in London and Hull during August 2025.

Social media went wild once the news was shared on the group's Instagram page today (September 17). The announcement stated that "these are the only UK/European cities where the band will perform" in 2025.

Right now, there are eight dates across two venues - with two nights at Craven Park Stadium in Hull. These are followed by six more dates at Wembley Stadium in London.

Coldplay's concert is more than just music, the band uses each opportunity to give back. For their 2025 tour, they're giving back 10% of their proceeds from the UK shows to the Music Venue Trust.

The environment is also a major issue as well. Coldplay announced that their Wembley concerts' production will be "powered with 100% solar, wind and kinetic energy", reports the Mirror .

Fans are already over the moon, lighting up social media with thousands of comments. Nathan penned: "See you at the front." Jess simply said: "OMGGGGGGG." Mary wrote: "Can't be missing this one." Also, Magda commented: "Yeaaaah!!!! Finally!!"

The full list of dates:

The last time Coldplay played a UK gig was at Glastonbury 2024. The five-time headliners were joined on stage by Back to the Future star Michael J Fox.

How to get tickets:

Coldplay fans wanting to boost their chances of getting a ticket have been told to order the band's forthcoming album, Moon Music, from the official Coldplay UK or EU Stores . This will qualify you for the presale, kicking off on September 26 at 9am, with the general sale following on September 27 at 9am.

All the songs Gracie Abrams sings on her Secret of Us tour: Setlist

LOS ANGELES — Gracie Abrams sings like she's letting you in on a secret.

It’s one that she shares with her fans on her 54-city (and counting) Secret of Us tour promoting her sophomore album of the same name. The record released following a massive year that saw Abrams head out on her third headlining tour, open for Taylor Swift's record-breaking Eras Tour (a role she will reprise in Swift's final North American shows later this year) and receive her first Grammy nomination for her debut album.

As she belts out lyrics about budding romance and love gone sour and all the confusing vicissitudes in between, Abrams at times appears to be transported back to the room where she wrote her songs while "feeling very big feelings in a very short period of time," as she describes it. In other moments, she’s here with fans as they scream her lyrics back to her in catharsis.

And, by the end of the set, all she feels is "Free Now."

Phish set list

Part of the fun of seeing Phish live is the surprises the band has in store for fans.

Still, it can’t hurt to take a peek at what made the cut recently.

For a closer look, here’s the complete history of what Phish has played live — dating all the way back to 1983 (!) — check out  Set List FM .

Phish new music

On July 12, Phish dropped their 16th studio album “Evolve.”

Over 12 tracks, as expected, the band completely surprises. No two songs are alike here; their only connection is the in-sync ensemble.

Personally, we were most taken with the slinky, bass-y, mysterious “Hey Stranger,” upbeat toe-tapper “A Wave Of Hope” and slow burn of “Monsters.”

Be sure to try the restrained Beatles-esque “Valdese,” too. It’s impossible not to smile while listening.

Want to check out the new record right now? You can find “Evolve”  here .

What’s it like to see Phish live

In December 2023, the New York Post spoke with comedian Phan Max Fine about what it’s like to attend a Phish concert.

“It’s not like anything you’ve ever seen because it’s never happened before,” he explained.

“Every show is special and unique because they don’t plan for it. You get to be whoever you want at a Phish show.”

For more about the live experience, check out our conversation with Fine  here .

Huge bands on tour in 2024

Although no group flows quite like Phish, here are five freewheeling acts you may enjoy seeing live in the near future.

•  Dave Matthews Band

•  BEAT featuring Vai, Belew, Levin, and Carey  playing ’80s King Crimson music

Are you ready for it? Taylor Swift ‘s Eras Tour is finally here.

The 52-date trek kicks off Friday night in Glendale, Ariz., at State Farm Stadium with openers Gayle and Paramore. This marks Swift’s first tour since the Reputation Stadium Tour in 2018, as her 2020 Lover Fest was canceled before it even began due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, Swift has released three studio albums — “Folklore” and “Evermore” in 2020 and “Midnights” in October 2022 — in addition to re-recording “Fearless” and “Red” (which both came with bonus tracks) in 2021.
