About Me

Spawned in the depths of a basement lounge in Vagus Place, Royal Oak in the summer of â€˜06, CapGunHero, consisting of Sam McCarthy, Jordan Artsl and Luke VanHoof ,has expanded from a two man epiphany into a living, breathing, musical menace.
Sam and Jordan have been playing in bands together since they were 13, and once their previous musical project disbanded, the thought of creating something exciting and new was irrisistable. The similar and almost parallel childhoods of the two boys helped to foster a kindred focus, which was beneficial in the song-wrting process.
Lacking another body on stage was becoming a problem for the boys so after a series of quick "Keen?"..."Keen!" decisions, Luke's guitar capabilities were employed and the funtimes were ready to roll.
With the pretentiousness aside, CapGunHero aim to produce positive, up-beat music with the intension to get peopleâ€™s feet shuffling. With the temptations to stoop to â€˜I love you babyâ€™ lyrics, CapGunHero songs incorporate the use of Samâ€™s authentic lyricism, influenced by such folk artists as Bob Dylan and Ryan Adams. With each member of the band excelling in individual areas such as musicology and recording, graphic design, and fashion design, the CapGunHero boys feel they can bring something fresh to the Auckland music scene table.
