"A little sonic head rush ... an easy, breezy, beautiful slice of effervescent electro-pop that absolutely kills it." (Neon Gold)

"Bound to make your dance-infused taste buds sizzle ... The music swarms with outside-of-the-box tendencies, jam-packed full of life, energy and unusual yet fantastic sounds." (Clixie)

"They controlled the audience ... and caused strangers to dance with each other. Everyone sang along throughout the night regardless if they were first-time listeners." (Campus Circle)

In 2008, Ryan Merchant and Sebu Simonian met on craigslist and formed a composing team. They formed Capital Cites in 2010 and released th EP in June 2011 independently. 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' shot to #2 on both Hype Machine and We Are Hunted.

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.
