Jape is the alter-ego of Redneck Manifesto member Richie Egan. Hailing from Crumlin in Dublin, Ireland, he purveys an electronica-heavy music tinged with 'stoner folk'. Jape's most renowned song 'Floating' has been covered by The Raconteurs and The Mighty Stef, to name a few. His debut album 'Cosmosphere' was released in 2003 (Volta Records), followed by 2004's 'The Monkeys In The Zoo Have More Fun Than Me' (Trust Me I'm A Thief). Having recently signed with V2 Records (9th May 2007), a third effort 'Ritual' came out on the 4th June 2008.

VERSE: BmG It's midnight now and it's freezin' Bm But wait... BmG Is this a worthless dream I believe in? Bm Let's take... EmBm Another stroll AG Where the kids are getting out of their minds EmBm We'll walk in side by side AG Pulsating with the stars in the sky

VERSE: BmG You are not a wave, you're part of an ocean Bm And you break... BmG Without a fuss, or any commotion BmEmBm When you're older and holding on AG To some things that have already gone EmBm You're making plans for tomorrow AG Well tomorrow is no yesterday
