you know we've split up right...?

About Me

When this band formed doesn't matter, why we did it is the important part.I find it hard to get enthusiastic about another Irish boy band and preening pretend punks as I'm sure do most people. So in order to break up those little factory production lines Kapowski arrived to put a rocket in the foreman's pocket.Our mutual enjoyment of idlewild, Jimmy Eat World, At The Drive-In and Pavement brought us together over a dodgy meal in a college canteen.Before long we'd written a set of heavy alterno-popping not-so-classics that laid down the foundations of a band that dared to rock and get attention. That was two years ago and since then we've been sharpening our teeth on the great and the less than good of the toilet circuit. Gigging with the likes of Razorlight, Electric Six, The Cooper Temple Clause, Biffy Clyro, The Ordinary Boys, The Zutons, Dogs Die In Hot Cars, Jet Plane Landing and Longwave.Now we feel with our first London shows looming and maybe even a debutsingle in the very near future, it's time to introduce the masses to Kapowski's raw, energetic and sometimes chaotic live shows where theingredients of throwing rock shapes akin to epileptic seizures, not so nervous twitches and catchy rock-a- long chorus's have been creating a loyal fervor amongst those fortunate to have caught us so far.
