THINGS SAID ABOUT CAPSULA:
“These aren’t musicians playing at a band, they’re a fabulous gilded snake, writhing on a big stage while playing seismic garage rock.”
— THE AUSTIN CHRONICLE, AUSTIN PSYCH FEST
“A dynamic compression of the Who, the Cramps and Sonic Youth in a high tide of psychedelia”
— DAVID FRICKE - ROLLING STONE
This Basque-Argentine trio, consolidated by Coni Duchess on vocals and bass, Martín Guevara on guitar and vocals, and Álvaro Olaetxea on drums, has been a seismic force in the world of rock for over two decades. Their sound, rooted in influences from the 60s and untamed sounds of the 70s, blended with punk, garage, heavy psych, post-punk, and surf rock, has garnered praise from industry giants like producers John Agnello (Sonic Youth) and Tony Visconti (David Bowie), who have collaborated on their projects in the United States.
Taking their name from David Bowie's 'Space Oddity,' they foreshadowed their subsequent collaboration with acclaimed T-Rex and Bowie producer Tony Visconti at the mixing console.
Capsula's last three albums were released by Adrenalin Fix Music and Vicious Circle for Europe, distributed by Head Records, thus consolidating their presence and recognition in the European music scene.
Consistently on tour and performing on stages at recognized festivals and global clubs, Capsula's performances explode with raw and passionate energy, forging diverse collaborations in projects, always pushing creative boundaries.
Capsula's upcoming 2024 tour, presenting their new record, follows the success of 55 shows in Spain, Argentina, Chile, France, and the United States since the release of 'Phantasmaville' in 2022.
Additionally, this year marks the 25th anniversary since the group's inception, marking a significant milestone in their musical journey.
