Capital Cities
Описание: In 2008, Ryan Merchant and Sebu Simonian met on craigslist and formed a composing team. In 2010 they began producing material for Capital Cities. The band released an EP in June 2011 independently, and lead single 'Safe and Sound' shot to #2 on Hype Machine and charted #1 on CMJ's A&R unsigned spin chart. Their latest release, 'Kangaroo Court' also shot to #2 on Hype Machine.
Capital Cities have played numerous sold-out shows in their hometowns of Los Angeles and San Francisco and embarked on a successful mini tour of the East Coast and Canada last October. In November, after reaching #1 on a rock station in Peru, the band flew to Lima to play in front of 1000 fans. They headlined the W Hotel New Year's Eve party in San Francisco and returned to L.A. as 987FM's January 'Artist in Residence'. Their successful run of shows at SXSW included a headlining spot at the Pandora Discovery Den.
