Denver, United States (1995 – present)

The Apples in stereo is an indie pop band, from Denver, Colorado, co-originators of the innovative Elephant 6 Collective, a group of bands that initially included Neutral Milk Hotel and The Olivia Tremor Control but also includes Elf Power, The Minders and Beulah.

The Apples in stereo currently consist of Eric Allen (bass), John Hill (rhythm guitar), John Ferguson, Bill Doss and their new drummer as of 2006, John Dufilho, while lead singer/guitarist Robert Schneider writes the most of the band’s music and lyrics. Their debut release was 1995’s Fun Trick Noisemaker (with Jim McIntyre on bass).

Longtime drummer Hilarie Sydney left the band in 2006, performing her last show at the Athens Popfestival.

Robert Schneider has side projects: Marbles, Ulysses, Thee American Revolution and a new kids music project under the name Robbert Bobbert & The Bubble Machine. He does a lot of commercial composition and film score work.

John Hill also plays guitar in Dressy Bessy.

One of their most popular songs, “Signal In The Sky,” was created and featured in episode 46 of The Powerpuff Girls.

They are best known for their bright, catchy lyrics and 60s pop/rock sound that often provokes comparisons to The Beatles, Electric Light Orchestra and The Beach Boys.

Their major influences include The Velvet Underground and The Beach Boys.

@ xMuffinMuffinx: you aren't an indie failure. The Colbert Report is certified of indie cool. Also, you like TMBG. That negates most failures. I should know, i'm an indie kid.
