Nick's CD Release Show!!!

Capa to the Sun's CD release show was on Friday, May 8th, 2009. I've been to a lot of their shows, but this one by far trumped all other performances. It was amazing!!! I'm so grateful to have Nick as a friend and am so proud of all his accomplishments! Come to his shows! Also, check out their CD...it rocks the house! Congrats to Capa!

A word to the audience: The Kool-Aid man in the background is Cole. And I apologize for the shaky filming and the bad sound quality. I did my best! And yes, the person dancing on camera is, in fact, Jarom.

A word to Jeff, Nick, Jake, and Cole: I appreciate your friendship to me so much. I hope this summer turns out to be an awesome one. I look forward to chilling with you guys and making fools of ourselves or anyone else that happens to be around!

Skylar ;)

Nick's CD Release!

We're headlining The Clubhouse on May 8th for our first CD release! We have worked so hard and are so freaking excited about this. Everyone has been unbelievably supportive and we would have never come this far, this quickly without all of your help. This is the big payoff! All of the bands on the bill were hand picked by US to insure that it will be an amazing show through and through. So if you're not in another country, you should definitely plan on coming! Again, thanks so much for helping to make this possible. More info to come soon!

With Love,
Nick

UPDATE!: All of the support bands are now confirmed! You may check them out on their respective myspace pages
