AUDIENCE Network‘s multiple series of original and exclusive performances give music fans an intimate view of music’s most influential artists today. The network collaborates directly with musicians to create a unique show from their perspective. Founded and fronted by Sebu Simonian and Ryan Merchant, Capital Cities offers a bright and groove-heavy take on alt-pop, drawing their infectious energy from the endless juxtapositions within each song: genre-bending production meets indelible melody, high-concept artistry meets classic pop sensibility, clever lyricism meets raw emotion.
The L.A.-based band first unveiled that aesthetic with the breakout hit “Safe and Sound,” which went multi-platinum around the world, topped Billboard’s Alternative Songs chart and entered the Top 10 of the Hot 100. It has sold more than 12 million tracks globally. The “Safe and Sound” video won the MTV Video Music Award for Best Visual Effects and was nominated for a GRAMMY®. Cumulative streams of Capital Cities’ songs now surpass one billion while video views exceed 420 million globally. The band’s 2013 debut album, In A Tidal Wave Of Mystery, has sold 1.7 million albums worldwide.
Capital Cities are celebrating summertime romance with their brand new EP, Swimming Pool Summer, by Lazy Hooks/Capitol Records.“Girl Friday” featuring Rick Ross —one of four new original songs on the EP—tells the story of a guy who can’t get a weekend date with his busy dream girl.Watch the lyric video for “Girl Friday” HERE.The silken, sultry “Drifting” and the exuberant “Drop Everything” brim with a devotion while adventure awaits in the title track. Partying abroad with a crowd reminiscent of Fellini’s La Dolce Vita, Capital Cities fall under the spell of “Swimming Pool Summer”—an enchantress whose “eyes are laser-beaming me, suspending all reality.” Acclaimed Italian production teamTHCSRS (Avery Storm, Jadakiss and Styles P.) deepen the sense of intrigue with their ethereal, echo-laden remix of “Swimming Pool Summer,” which closes out the EP.
Capital Cities are bringing their dazzling show to stages across the U.S. this summer, playing such festivals as Lollapalooza, Life is Beautiful, Billboard Hot 100 and Forecastle (current dates below). The band has played in front of hundreds of thousands of fans on four continents. Joining Merchant and Simonian in Capital Cities are Will Artope (trumpet), Manny Quintero (bass), Justin Thomas (vibraphonist), Vahagn Turgutyan (guitar), and Aaron Prather (drums).
