Biography
Born in Austin, rebuilt in Berlin and LA, the trio has spent the last decade mutating funk, house, and techno into something theatrical and raw. Their new album Sobbing Ecstasy hits harder, glossier, sadder, sharper. It's for sweating out grief at 3AM, crying in the strobes, kissing strangers you'll never see again.
What started as a joke band playing pots and pans around a pool of guacamole has evolved into a full-blown emotional exorcism. Big synths, dramatic lyrics, and live shows that split the line between rave, drag, and fever dream.
They'll make you dance. Then they'll gut you. Gently.
Their latest album "Sobbing Ecstasy" is out now via Nettwerk.

Press Mentions:
"Always genre-bending, the duo captivates their audiences with a bit of jazz and funk, along with a mix of more modern sensibilities." - SPIN
"this will make you feel like dancing." - FADER
"an explosion of dancefloor ready decadence" - Wonderland
"eclectic and almost indefinable" - This Song Is Sick
"They're what baby dance parties want to be when they grow up: the Platonic ideal, the one percent, the Jay Gatsby of dance parties." - Study Breaks
"This electronically charged funk-filled foray takes all the ear-grabbing tropes of such an iconic era and respectfully sharpens them up with contemporary production ideals, and with a just amount of tongue-in-cheek humour to boot." - EARMILK
"[a] flesh-and-funk-powered party machine- Capyac were a bizarre blast, storming the stage as a costumed troupe combining disco guitar licks, modern beats, rappers, backup singers, dancers and an onstage pancake-cooker for the most fun I experienced at ACL Fest" - Austin American-Statesman
