History
Apartment was: David Caggiari on vocals, guitar and keyboards; Thomas Gillet on bass; Liam Fletcher on drums; and Davide De Santis on guitar.
The band came together in Bethnal Green in east London, sharing loves of influential acts like Blonde Redhead, Velvet Underground, Jeff Buckley, David Bowie, The Associates and Bruce Springsteen. Apartment released two early singles on Fierce Panda, "Everyone Says I'm Paranoid" and "Patience Is Proving". After these limited releases, things went quiet, as the band recorded their debut album The Dreamer Evasive, as well as setting up Fleet Street Records.
Apartment went on to release seven singles and an album, playing all over Europe and the US, featuring at SXSW in Texas, CMJ in New York, Musexpo in Los Angeles and supporting the likes of The Killers, The Bravery, Happy Mondays, British Sea Power, Editors, Jimmy Eat World, Infadels, Towers of London, and a French co-headline tour with The Kooks.
Apartment received various critical acclaim for their debut album The Dreamer Evasive, including one of the 'Best Albums of 2007' by Newsweek magazine and one of the 'Best Pop Songs of 2007' by The Times with the song "Fall into Place".
In late 2010, Caggiari posted a blog post on the band's MySpace profile explaining the band's past and that Apartment was no longer together. He is currently working with a band called "Age of Giants".
