Caroline’s Capuchin has always defied convention. Their
music has the elegance and passion of Jazz, the groove of
Funk, the percussive magic of Latin and the hard-edged
distorted sounds of rock wrapped up into a 4-piece package.
Their live performances are a paradox for any audience as
the music swirls out in intense sheets of dramatic profundo
and are punctuated with light-hearted improvisation and
repartee.

Formed in December ’04, they have evolved from the
Jazz/Drum ‘n Bass music found on their self-titled debut EP
into the massive sound you can hear on their new album ‘For
What?’ which includes a full sized percussion section, electr-
onic drum samples and heavily modified bass and keyboard sounds.

The 11 tracks on the new album ‘For What?’ display the
band’s ability to perform a variety of styles and the music
provokes the full gambit of emotions. From the African
drumming on ‘Countdown To A Familiar Face’, the 70’s funk
on the hidden track ‘Theme From Bagnutt’, subtle jazz
melodies on ‘For What?’ and fast paced Drum n’ Bass on 'Cairo
Dead & Breakfast’ the listener is truly moved and grooved
through a turbulent flight that spans the world and the
musical spectrum.
