CAPITAL CITY – consisting of Sam Scherr, Chris Pierucci and Jake Snell - are Western
Australia’s favourite exponents of scuzz/punk/rock. The band is about to release their 2nd
album Keep It Stupid, Sucker, out Saturday, October 17 on WAMi award-winning label Good
Cop Bad Cop Records. The new album contains nine tracks produced by Dave Parkin
(Snowman, Sugar Army) including the 2008 WAM Song Of The Year-nominated Cazza Sizza
Death-Ray Blues, just prior to the recent departure of second-guitarist Kate Mills.
For those who came in late to the whole Capital City story, this Australian band started in
Perth in 2000. Their first EP The God-Botherin’ Years, recorded by
Dr Alien Smith at Bergerk Studios in 2002, received great support
from public radio and demon sales from the public. This release
saw them win the WAMi award for Most Popular WA Punk Act and
tour nationally with Aussie garage rock legends The Stems on their
re-union tour at the start of 2003. The second EP, Capital City vs
The Bangkok Lady Boys, also a Bergerk! product, was another
collection of tracks celebrating love, life, hate, death and Thai dudes
who decide to the contrary.
People reacted well to the new release, with Triple J adding lead
track The Working Class Is After Us to high rotation.
In 2007 the band released its debut album Bad Money on In-Fidelity
Records. The LP, which was recorded at Perth’s Blackbird Studios
with multi WAMi award-winning producer Dave Parkin (The
Exploders, Red Jezebel, Snowman), received a heap of critical
acclaim, including local release of the year from Xpress Magazine’s
Mike Wafer, and saw the band return to the east coast twice.
The Capital City live show also created a buzz, with the band
supporting the likes of Boss Hog, The Buzzcocks, The Datsuns, The
Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, McLusky, Sons and Daughters and
The Strokes plus kick-ass Aussie acts such as The Beasts of Bourbon,
Dallas Crane, Jet, Magic Dirt, The Meanies, Rocket Science, Sixfthick,
Spencer P. Jones & You Am I along the way.
Capital City will be appearing at the One Movement Festival in Perth on Saturday, October 17 - the day of the Keep It Stupid, Sucker’s release - before launching the new album in their hometown of Perth
on Saturday, October 31.

Capital City - "Let's Throw Our Love Away"
It was such a culture shock to have my daughter start school and for us stand in one place all year but it's been a massive healing time for everyone and just as well we did stand still considering what has been manifesting!! It may seem so very hard at times but the difficulties are the mirror for the beautiful possibilities inside of us and between us! I appreciate it when you share warm fuzzies and updates about your own experiences and ways of being. You can be a teacher and an inspiration. x x x

Looking forward to our little trip down to Geelong to hit The Nash with you lot on the 6th. Should be suitably epic, as each outing there to date has returned some kind of significant adventure or another. That crazy little pub is the beating heart of Sleepy Hollow, and we do like it rather a lot!
