Seems like CTR are going all out to erase any references online about Amanda Kleinman. Only a few weeks back, her Myspace page was visible. I can't recall requesting an archive.org save, but it seems to have gone missing somewhat.
Here's a Google cache of Kleinman in one of her performances, cached from the MajesticApe page before it got deleted.
There was a music video where Majestic Ape takes off the mask and it is a man underneath. Not James A. I'm not 100% convinced that it's always the same person.
Since her previous band, Majestic Apes, I think disbanded, her current band, Heavy Breathing, has gone insanely dark. She's assumed the persona Majestic Ape, as seen on the Myspace page. Doing a search term "Majestic Ape Amanda Kleinman" reveals a lot of snippets of small individual results from social media posts where both terms are referenced. The direct references to her online social media pages have since been made private or deleted, but the internet never forgets, so I'm searching through archives.
My previous post where both her real name and stage name are referenced together on a student's Facebook post cannot be dismissed, and if your observation of the video where a man is behind the mask is to be considered, then the ambiguity she's trying to portray with the stage persona is most likely a ruse.

Did we figure out whether Majestic Ape is Amanda or James A or someone else?
