Formed in late 2014, CAPYAC emerged out of the need to soundtrack a guacamole pool party.
Filtered through the wacky, wavy inflatable arm-flailing tube minds of Big Sugz and Potion, their unique brand of dance music comes out equally drenched in French house or nudisco as improv jazz or American funk, a genre they’ve fictionalized as “Balloonwave.”

The renaissance artists that they are, CAPYAC would be just as at home with the Dadaists or surrealists, in a 90’s Euro dance club or an improv jazz club of the future alike.

“They’re what baby dance parties want to be when they grow up: the Platonic ideal, the one percent, the Jay Gatsby of dance parties.” — Study Breaks Magazine

A CAPYAC live show is an experience akin to P-Funk meets Daft Punk, featuring their high-energy entourage- Olaf, an additional vocalist; RuDi, the MC; Mr. Lowry, le saxophoniste; and frequent appearances from dancers, game show hosts and milk auctioneers - all joining to present an undeniably absurd dance party.

“We just want people to dance and not care. Maybe that’s why we dress so weird: so that people can get past their own insecurities.” — Big Sugz

Erupting out of the Austin house party scene into co-ops, collectives and the Museum of Human Achievement, they’re fastly earning the status of city staple, while playing an evergrowing circuit of Vulcan Gas Company, Barbarellas, Empire Control Room, Voice & Exit, and The Parish, playing with the likes of French Horn Rebellion, The Funk Hunters and Chali 2na.

Once described as “too high for high fashion; too new for nudisco” and “the Versaces of the electric boogaloo” by TuneSpoon (deficient sister-site to PitchFork);
Once, being looked at by Childish Gambino with a glare of disdain;
Once, opening a show with a Mozart minuet, drinking champagne, and ignoring the audience.

Whatever you might imagine, don’t put it past them. They have gone or will go there.
Call it what you will. See it for yourself. There’s nothing quite like CAPYAC.
