Amanda Kleinman is not Majestic Ape. She is the keyboardist of Heavy Breathing.

This is not to say she doesn't CLAIM to be Majestic Ape, or that she doesn't sometimes pose as the character.

I keep seeing posts and memes alleging this, like this one I saw earlier on Facebook: http://imgur.com/a/arVh3

So I feel like we need some clarity.

In order to eliminate some of the false information, I wanted to make a post about Majestic Ape and Amanda Kleinman, as I am relatively certain they are not one in the same. In fact, I think Majestic Ape is Alefantis. At least sometimes. Possibly, it could be multiple people, but for the most part, it is not often Kleinman, although the band will have you believe it is. She calls it her 'performance character' although considering they have been onstage at the same time and the face doesn't seem to compare to Kleinman's more often than not.

In videos, despite the distorted voice, it is a voice belonging to a MALE (feminine qualities, sure, but a man portraying himself as a woman isn't going to hit his manliest notes). It's a man in drag.

Based on this image I posted above, comparing the facial features, it looks to be Alefantis, imo, and from what I can tell, for the most part, Majestic Ape has only made 'her' appearances at DC-area shows (correct me if I'm wrong). I know this has been ever-so-slightly addressed on this forum in earlier threads but in case you missed it, you can compare the two photos: http://imgur.com/a/YdYDW

Amanda Kleinman IS a real person. A real woman, a teacher (she even has a 'safe' profile on facebook for her teacher personality under the name Amanda K-Teacher), who is indeed in the band Heavy Breathing. I've seen on voat people repeatedly say she is the SINGER. Wrong. You will find her on keyboard in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRQI8huoP0Q

Here in this interview you'll see it points out that Kleinman is the keyboardist: https://hometownsoundsdc.com/2013/12/12/interview-with-heavy-breathing/

They are a 3-piece act. The image below is of the band The Apes, an older band that all three members of Heavy Breathing were in. The man holding the leaf is Erick. The man on the far left is Jeff, and obviously that's Amanda on the far right. The interview I posted above has a more recent representation of them to confirm they are a trio and Majestic Ape is not a member of the act: http://imgur.com/U4bQJwA

Anything else you think should be clarified about Amanda, please let me know and I may add it. Also let me know if I've got anything wrong here and I will make corrections.
