There are two bands with the name The Apples. The first is an Acid Jazz group from Israel. The other is a girl group from Czech Republic who perform 60\'s music. The first group began in israel in 2002 with the core of electronic artists Schoolmaster & Mixmonster and the steadfast rhythm unit of Shai Ran and Yoni Halevy. Here is their myspace profile http://www.myspace.com/theapplesmusic. The idea was to lay down a funk foundation laced with live samples and organic effects, with a jazz-based front line of improvising horns.
