CAPYAC

Biography

CAPYAC is a surreal dance pop band born in Austin and rebuilt between Berlin and Los Angeles. Their music moves between synthpop, new wave, house and electronic music, combining propulsive rhythms with glossy synths, dramatic melodies and an instinct for the unexpected. What began as an irreverent house party project has grown into a shape-shifting live act whose music and performances are inseparable: tightly constructed songs become fluid containers for improvisation, dance, audience interaction and sudden departures into the unknown. Their latest album, Sobbing Ecstasy, pushes that tension further, pairing euphoric dance music with a darker, more emotional edge.

Onstage, CAPYAC treats the stage as a temporary universe with its own physics. Their 2025 tour opening for Marc Rebillet brought that approach to rooms across North America, where reviewers described their sets as a fever dream of improvised party energy. CAPYAC's goal is simple enough: open a portal, get people moving, and see what happens.

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
