The Capitalist Youth have been very slowly recording a handful of songs. We’ll be playing a video of one today for a small virtual audience. Once we have our act together we’ll share with everyone! In the meantime please feel welcome to revisit our album “At The Campfire” by clicking here.
Greg Kamprath and Eric Heveron-Smith recently presented a case before Judge John Hodgman. It’s up now and you can listen here. The case concerns whether or not one should ask the audience to clap along to a song when performing. Thanks to some friendly editing, we sound much more like the competent buzz marketers Judge Hodgman makes us out to be. Originally there were a lot more “uh…”s and awkward pauses before answering.
But as long as you’re here, listen to our album, At the Campfire!
Hey we’re excited about a show/party coming up October 21st in Philly at PhilaMOCA. We’re going to be playing with a bunch of good friends: Ryan James Anderson, The Diaphone, F. Woods. It’s going to be some variant of the Capitalist Youth, but probably not the whole lineup. Time is 8pm-11pm, $10 admission.
The Capitalist Youth play acoustic indie rock combining a living room full of misfit instruments with lyrically driven songs about summer camp, existential crises and gubernatorial indiscretions.
