Gig! Thursday 5:00, Street Theatre! Totally be there!

Recently, word on the street has been that Los Cap will never ever play any more gigs ever again. Ever. But that word was spelt incorrectly and should have read "Los Cap will play more gigs ever again. Ever. But they won't say until two days before."

Yes, it's true, this Thursday, 5:00 at the Street Theatre there will be a friendly Battle of the Band featuring local bands like Dahahoo Marco Polo and Los Cap.

Events to determine which band is in fact "The Most Band-like" include tests of Strength, Wits, Determination and Dignity. We thought we might at least do well in Dignity but then we remembered who our bass player was.

To further encourage all youse kids out there to rock up to rock out to Canberras best, I offer these crazy pictures of Ju and Rob in the studio mere weeks ago.

New Album... Oh yes, she will be mine.

Here's a joke:
Why did Los Cap not have any gigs in January?
..
...
..
Because they were working on an album!

Hahahahaha.

No really, we are. After an intense two weeks in sydney with 12-14 hour sessions every day we've finished most of the recording. During February, we'll be mixing and finalising the cover art etc hoping for a final release date in... well, I think you can probably trust us to let you know.

In the mean time... checkoutphotos.

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!
