   About The Capes
Alas, The Capes are no more. Dead. Kaput. Permanent Hiatus. Split. The reasons are manifold but not really important. It was fun - no-one died! We hope you enjoyed the music and the shows. You can still enjoy the music. Or you can enjoy what the esCAPEologists are up to now - probably doing something on myspace if you hunt long enough... A full biog can be found in the blog section...


Watch The Capes experiences of SXSW! ...many thanks to Mitre shoes for putting this video together.
