Biography

There are multiple artists with this name:

Apollo was formed in 1969. They released one album, Apollo (1970). Their music was occasionally heavy and the band sounds like Led Zeppelin or Procol Harum, with little bit King Crimson in it. Members have been in other Finnish projects.


2) Apollo Indie Dance / Post Punk band from Ballarat, Australia. They Began mid 2009 when two kids decided to constructively channel their boredom in the form of melodic sound. After a short period of time another two gentlemen were thrown in the mix, unearthing a distinct sound from which Apollo were born. Remaining hidden for the best part of their first year as a band, the Apollo team steadily brewed a unique mix of dance, post-punk & pop, as well as shooting the odd hoop or two. 2010 saw Apollo finally break out onto the local scene, turning a few heads with some demo tracks and a high energy live show. Now with some experience under their belt and some ambition in their heads Apollo have a long and winding path in front of them. Apollo were added to the Grovin the Moo festival line up in 2010, Bendigo leg and shared the stage with acts such as Silverchair, Tegan and Sara, Grinspoon, Spoon, Howl and many more.

3) Apollo was fronted as one of the young and hopeful Norwegian artists when he released his debut album. This was when Norwegian rap was relatively new (at least successfully) and many believed his flow would make Apollo the most successful in time. Unfortunately he waited many years before releasing his second album and never quite reached the top. His albums are considered good ones, though he didn’t make the hall of fame. He’s maybe biggest hit was the sample of Janicke “J-Diva“‘s “Svake Mennesker”.
