Capybara

That crazy time of the year is nearly upon us, and Capybara is excited to pack up the van and travel south (and just a little southwest) down I-35 to Austin, Texas! But before they go, they’ll be playing one last show in Kansas City for The Record Machine Spring Showcase Friday night at the Czar Bar with Cowboy Indian Bear, Motorboater, and Max Justus. 10pm — Don’t be late!

But on to SXSW news: The boys have several shows scheduled for their week in Austin, and they’d love to see you! Details below and keep in touch via Twitter and Facebook for the latest breaking news!

The Capybara crew has been taking a well-deserved break for the past few days, returning to beautiful Taos, New Mexico where they recorded Try Brother earlier this year.  Mark reported last night that they’ve been stuffing themselves full of green chile and working on their acoustic chops for the next leg of the tour, which resumes TONIGHT in Albuquerque at Heaven & Hell!  Come and check it out!

Or, if you’re far from the desert, Capybara will be making an in-studio appearance tomorrow evening at KRUX in Las Cruces and playing the acoustic songs they’ve been working on this week.  You can listen tomorrow live via THIS LINK, and they should go on around 4pm MST!

And watch out, Texas:  Capybara will soon be taking Austin by storm.  Check out their updated tour dates here and stay posted to Twitter for additions!

As those of you who have been following our Twitter stream know, we’ve been playing some sweet in-studio shows at radio stations across the country on this tour.  Today is no exception:  we will be playing live on the air at KZSC in Santa Cruz, California TONIGHT at 7PM PST!  You can listen live here and call into the station and heckle us.  We’d love to hear from you!

We’ve also been digging up mp3s and podcasts of our past in-studio shows, which you can check out on our Tour History page.

For a taste of the in-studios, check out “Magpies” from our show at KWUR in St. Louis!
