When it's Over

Aside from their affinity towards excessive shows and despite of the fact that the three guys from Berlin are leaving behind a trail of rave mobs being bathed in sweat, they have neither forgotten nor repressed that Germany’s situation is still fraught with problems. As long as Egotronic exists, dumb German patriotism and ostracism will be rejected emphatically

Ausflug mit Freunden

Egotronic - You (vs. Captain Capa)

This is a rough mix from the recording session at the Barn with Graham Walsh. Not fully mixed or mastered.

Bunker Buster (Rough Mix)

Faraday completes Captain Capas cocktail of guitar-based emo-hymn and uptempo-electro-dancer to it's perfection. A rusty octav-bass, a twisted collegerock-six-string and the oh-so-charming emotional voice of goldenthroat Ashi, chirping lines of broken love and the de-romantization of the starry sky. "And Faraday was right, when he said you need a constant" - hidden messages behind the curtain, and if you stumble upon the nerd-reference to that Island-TV-show: congratulations, you won.

"Death Of Hydra" ist der programmatische Titel und erklärt sich so: Wenn man einer Hydra einen Kopf abschlägt, wachsen direkt zwei Köpfe nach - sagt die griechische Mythologie. Genau so, nur ohne Schwerthieb und Massaker und Blut, ist aus dem Duo Captain Capa plötzlich ein Dreiergespann geworden. Dass dieses martialische Unterfangen nicht spurlos am Sound der Band vorbeizieht, war zu erwarten. Dass sich Captain Capa allerdings gleich meterweit aus dem Fenster ihrer Elektropop-Comfort-Zone lehnen, überrascht dann doch. In drei Songs, die unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten, lotsen „Die Neuen Captain Capa“ aus, was sie dem geneigten Hörer an Abwechslung überhaupt zutrauen können. Das dreiköpfige Biest steigt als düsterer Technostampfer, als verdrogtes Pop-Epos und als in Stars und Stripes gewickelte Emo-Hymne über die Trümmer des Captain Capa Backkatalogs. Das heißt für die Bühne: mehr Hände, mehr Knöpfe, mehr Zufälle, mehr Unfälle. Das kann auf Tour eigentlich nur noch zur unabdingbaren Selbstzerstörung führen, zu der die Band herzlich einlädt. 

VIPERA

i've heard it all before
you said you feel so alive
come shake the dirt off from your ribs
and let me see whats inside
as we fall

come grab me tightly i want you to tell me
what to do
you coax me and you touch me and you kiss me 
and i feel so alive
so alive

i've never felt this way before
come on and kiss me back to life

i've never said before
'oh god i feel so alive'
she holds the bottle and she pours a little sip in my mouth
as we fall 

i've never felt this way before
come on and kiss me back to life
i've never felt this way before
come on and fuck me back to life

Captain Capa - Vipera

According to the German Hunting Association there are 230.000 animal-vehicle crashes each year.

The two work animals of the Hamburgian labels Audiolith and Cobretti Records have recognized the signs of the times: Dead animals are an integral part of our everyday lives - whether to eat, to wear or just as a roadside decoration. Already more than 20 years ago Bob Dylan sang: "How many roads does a band bus drive before he ever hits a deer?". And also in the meta-meaning the lifeless beasts determine our lives. This far fetched connection by Captain Capa and Supershirt has been squeezed into five new songs going to be released on October 8th on Audiolith. It’s about falling in love and pulling the plug situations, as in the title song "Tote Tiere" to the drunken thing in everyone of us as in "Dein Monster" or emotionally dopey misconduct in "Roadkill" à la Hegemann

Supershirt and Captain Capa got to know each other mentally and musically during joint concerts. Soon after the first shows it was clear to go on tour together. They share the same humor, the close connection with the highway and the not always equally serious approach to their music, most commonly called electro / punk. From the beginning their infernal representatives - the labels Audiolith and Cobretti being like twins, adjuged (with euro signs in their eyes) to the plan.

In October 2010, Amadis sends both bands through all of Germany on the “Tote Tiere”-Tour presented and recommended by Intro Magazine. Of course all participants are afraid. Afraid of themselves - and not of road kills. Collateral damage is more than accepted on the risky ways to the clubs, to the dead animals on the dancefloor, just waiting like a deer in the headlights to be run over by the sound.

The Berlin located Band Supershirt - born in Rostock on the Baltic Sea - have grown into a trio after the release of their hit album "8000 Mark" and the over-hit single "8000 Mark". Timo Katze reinforced Tim Brenner and Faxe System since early 2010 on the six-string axe. On their never ending 8000 Mark-Tour they now have played over 100 concerts. Once trying to blackmail their label with sending a Rambo knife but this being  misunderstood by the the gray-haired codger Lewerenz, Supershirt are now a real part of the family.

In the meantime Captain Capa have saved themselves from the dreariness of their Thuringian spa-town life, by quietly devoting to the magic of various beat machines and synthetic music production. It took them less than a year from the first self burned EP to the epic pop longplayer debut on Cobretti Records. The careful guidance by their Audiolith buddies Bratze, Egotronic or Juri Gagarin took the guys on the stages of the german rave hells, where they feel completely contented. Since then they make every coffepot rattle in joy with their chiptune infected dancepop escapades.

The title song - the cooperation of both bands - "Tote Tiere" together with a video will be available as a free [sic!] download. The songs "Dein Monster" and "Whales" shall appear as the first edition of the Audiolith-split singles series on 7" vinyl. The whole package - that is five songs plus remixes by Deaf Danger and Umami - will be released digitally on every relevant store from Amazon to iTuneZ.

And remember: Even the most delicious look can deceive, you do not eat animals that end with "X" - Beware of fox, ox, ibex, addax, hyrax, lynx and sphinx!
