Cast Of The Capital is the name of our band. We formed in summer 2006 in Aberdeen, Scotland and continue to live there. Consisting of brothers Matt and Steve Morris, Alastair Naylor and Jamie Watt, we play pop-based indie rock music.
2009 has been a great year for us - with appearances at Rockness, Belladrum, GoNorth and Wizard Festival, as well as numerous tours in the summer. We have had the fortune to play alongside many bands which inspire us, and are pleased to have met so many friendly people along the way.
We released our debut EP 'Rotten Kids and Haversacks' via London's Kittiwake Records in September. Vic Galloway (BBC Radio Scotland), Jim Gellatly (New Music), Steve Lamacq (BBC 6 Music) and Pete Mitchell (XFM) have all very kindly taken an interest in our band, and have played our tracks on their radio shows/podcasts. You can buy a copy through our BigCartel store or on iTunes, Play.com, Amazon.co.uk etc.

Guys,
Youz were awesome in Stirling last night. Cheers for coming to play my tiny uni and bringing the wonderful sounds. I saw you support Trapped in Kansas in Dundee and picked up your EP then, really enjoying it

How goes it? We are heading up to the bonnie Aberdeen tomorrow night for a fun time in Drummonds. Would be great if any of you could come along. We're playing with a great band called .Scores and 2 Aberdeen bands; Semperfi and Project Zero. Doors 8, £4 if anyone fancies it!
Thanks a lot for coming along tonight. Good to see some familiar faces in a foreign city. Some one will be along to the Edinburgh show to represent Barn Owl, looking forward to it.
We did like a video montage of our trip to Aberdeen, with some inserted live footage. Aberdeen has some lovely springs.
Episode 55 of Jim Gellatly's NEW MUSIC is a Halloween special, including tracks from French Wives, The Plimptons, Steg G feat Madhat, The Velcro Quartet, The Horrors, Phantom, Cast Of The Capital, Lions.Chase.Tigers, Janie Jones, and Ramones.

I was just giving 'Tree Sleep' a couple of listens. It's grrrreat! As Tony the tiger would say.
I will eventually get around to picking up a copy of the EP for myself, so I'll let you know what I think; but even on MySpace, the recordings sound great.
