Los Capitanes is a controversial and turbulent new age love story; like Kurt and Courtney, Sid and Nancy or Bert and Ernie. Thrust into an industry where washed out retro clichés have reached pandemic proportions, Los Caps‘ unfaltering dedication to exciting, original and diverse music has seen them achieve cult status amongst misfits and outcasts nationwide from a vast array of backgrounds and cultures.
‘…more ambitious than Kanye West's latest, and so much more fun. I was expecting another Pokers inspired horn-blow (and would have been happily satisfied), and instead got a magnum opus.’
–BMA Magazine
For almost 8 years Los Cap have been paying dues, kicking arse and taking names all over the country, proudly flying the flag for the ACT music scene and exhibiting their sincere commitment to DIY culture and a distinctive love of independent Australian music. Late last year this dedication was rewarded when Los Cap won Triple J Unearthed, only weeks before their new album was released.
‘…a humorous, paradoxical, tongue-in-cheek showpiece with plenty of attitude. It would be a waste if their music was confined to the ska crowd when a wider audience could find it equally addictive and appealing.’
-Rave Magazine
From overcrowded suburban house parties to festivals like Stonefest and Come Together, Los Cap are known to both thrill and disgust, meaning those who witness a show very seldom forget it...passionate and unpredictable, Los Caps’ genuine love of music is guaranteed to have you dancing, thinking, or at the very least thinking about dancing.
‘the perfect balance between ambiguity and accessibility. Sometimes trippy, at others down-to-earth, eccentric yet relatable, quirky then honest, heartfelt then humorous and always imaginatively crafted’
-BEAT Magazine
With a sound once described as ‘Frenzal Rhomb meets The Cat Empire’, Los Capitanes are not an easy band to pigeonhole. Whether you prefer to call it versatility or shameless inconsistency, it’s an attitude and a sound that over the years has seen the boys play with some diverse and amazing bands including: Parkway Drive, Koolism, Gyroscope, The Living End, Fireballs, Carpathian, Reel Big Fish, The Whitlams, The Hilltop Hoods, Against Me! Regurgitator, The Porkers and a little outfit from the UK called The Specials.
‘Los Cap have shared the stage with some big aussie names and are about to share some airwaves with them...’
-The Music Network
Building on the success of their critically acclaimed sophomore album ‘Rest For the Wicked’, the boys are now gearing up to release their infamous rendition of Missy Higgins ‘Scar’. Enlisting the help of the Sydney Roller Derby League, Los Cap is also about to unleash an accompanying music video complete with transgender cheerleaders, roller derby carnage and general goon fuelled shenanigans.
