On what would appear to be an average Sunday night in Minneapolis, Capybara parked their handsome van on a dark street by a park downtown, and piled out. As they walked down the lighted loading dock toward the St Anthony Main building, it was almost in slow motion that they looked around them, without expectation. But as they met the friendly handshakes and smiles of a team who habitually greets the Twin Cities a healthy serving of color and piz-spaz once a week, (every week), little did Capybara know that they would leave different than they came; more awake, and even — deeky.

Capybara is pleased to announce their first attempt at a music video from Try Brother (2009):

Go check out the trailer for the movie The New Sudan. It features a new song from Interstates. The film is all about Sudan and how we can get involved. The movie is also narrated by William Mapother (aka Ethan from Lost). I am really excited to hear what Interstates has cooked up for the soundtrack. And I am also excited to be one degree of separation away from my favorite show Lost.

Sam Billen did a podcast for his hometown Lawrence.com about the release of his new record Headphones and Cellphones that comes out next week. He also seems to mention his love of Surge a few times. They played the entire new record but more like a dvd commentary with an interview over the top of it.

Also Sam’s CD Listening & CD Release Party is on Friday at the Wonderfair Art Gallery. Be prepared for Piñata’s and pretzels.

This month song celebrates some convergence of Record Machine artists. Our artist Sam Billen put together a sweet little remix for Capybara’s The Wimp. We thought it would be a great way to celebrate two things.

1) Sam’s new album Headphones and Cellphones comes out on the 27th
2) We were in need of a kick off to our Capybara – The Wimp Remix Competition.

What?! What’s that you say Remix Competition?

We decided to put together a sweet competition for all of you to enjoy. If your interested head over to Remix Competition page. The first prize winner gets a giant gummy bear(pictured above and yes he is making his own remix in that picture)and five Record Machine Releases. Then we have 5 second place winners who will get a copy of Capybara – Try Brother. We hope that you join in the fun.
