After jetty jumping, Porker supporting, road tripping, beach sleeping, water swimming, music making and rad time having Los Cap has finally returned to the big C for a well earned couple of days vague relaxation before going to Sydney to record a massively awesome album.

Tim is better at giving thanks to everybody than me but I can't help but thank the all-conquering Porkers - not only rad musicians but awesome guys especially Pete who thought a little band from Canberra was worth a look. Also to the Canberrans who we ran into on the way, and to all the fans of ska and great live music who made the shows the best thing ever.

Here's a couple of quick phone pics. More will follow (Perhaps a bit of a Los Cap Tour Experience Video as well).

Tim - "It's ok, I'll leave after I see these dudes jump off the jetty. And by these dudes I mean Kieran, Ju, Rob and Chuck."

No seriously. This should be in Australian House and Garden.

Sunrise on Coolangatta beach. Beautiful but by all accounts unwelcome. In fact, given the circumstances, early death was considered a good alternative to facing the ensuing heat, birds, tractors and helicopter.

Well it happened again. Another flippin' gig cancelled. "Bother". The Griffith Shops gig has been cancelled people, why exactly we dont know, although our sources suggest that the cancellation was due to some kind of homeopathic/poison lava related accident, but that is yet to be confirmed. None the less, Los Cap will be flopping out an all ages show pretty darn soon, so keep a keen eye on the website (and our myspace thing) Its been far too long in between ACT shows, a fact which hasn't escaped our international exchange guitarist El Davo Roderiguez...

Tim: "They cancelled the gig."
Dave: "Yum."

As some of you may have noticed, everybodies favourite lanky freakazoid (lachlan) has been missing from the los cap stage of late, so to put to rest rumours that he had in fact became so skinny that he was no longer visible from a side-on angle, it is our sad duty to inform youse all that lachlan has left los cap and moved on to pursue his hobbies (being tall and being skinny) on the goldest coast of all time. The Gold Coast. Whilst this is indeed a time to mourn, we at los cap would like to thank lachlan for all the illin', chillin' and drink spillin'. From all the los cap boys, we'll miss you mate, stay lanky and stay skanky.

(Also tip top photos from Melbourne are finally up....) YES!

So it turns out that for the Make Poverty History gig they'd double booked us with rain, thanks to those who sent their condolences - we *will* be having more canberra gigs soon! Some highlights from this lengthy list are the Griffith Shops on 29th October and a super-huge festival gig at Tuggeranong Foreshore on 26th of November.

Also - people that come to our gigs instead of school are totally hardcore.

Welcome back sports fans, I believe its now time sit back and reflect on the launchalicious lovin' that was served out on Friday night to those lucky enough to witness the fitness of some of Canberra's gnarliest punk action. First up was Strong Like Sam, just about the nicest emo kids your ever likely to meet. They blasted out a phat set of super tubular goodness and got the crowd fired for the ever menacing red manace. These guys took the stage and friggin pushed the crowd even further into frenzy paving the way for loz kapitarnes (?). After a fair bit of skanking, swinging, pushing, falling, screaming, yelling, dancing,crying, laughing, smelling, singing and dodging Never in Doubt finally took the stage and rocked the flippin house.

Mega-awesome shout out to all NiD fellas for putting on a wicked-tang show and to all the people who rocked up and rocked out, you're the ones keeping this scene alive and skanking. DONT LET THE FRIGGIN MAN SHUT ALL AGES SHOWS DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (!!!)*
