Chris Cappello [full band] - “A Published Author” (Live 3/9/13)
Here’s another video from our set in Bristol on Saturday. This song is a fast punk song called ‘a published author’ and it’s going to be on the new album. Thanks to Kate Sheely for filming this!
Chris Cappello [full band] - “Circulation” (live 3/9/13)
This is such a winter song.
Here’s a video of us playing a song called “Circulation” at bare bones in Bristol last night. It’s going to be on the new record. this show was so much fun. Maybe the best show we’ve ever played.
Some shots from our recent show with Kindred Queer and Waxahatchee at the People’s Art Collective in New Haven. Thanks Lane Nelson
Chris Cappello - “No Exception” (Live at Taco Hut HQ, New Haven CT - 8/12/12)
Here’s some footage of me performing a new song at my most recent show a few days ago. This song will be on the new album. I know most of my stuff is pretty emotional and sad, but this song is especially draining. I hope you enjoy.
Oh, and if you watch this video you get to hear my, uh, spontaneous rant about self-loathing people at the beginning. That’s a treat.
Chris Cappello [full band] - “Plans For The Future” (Live at Hopkins BOTB - 5/11/12)
Here’s the second song we played on Friday. This is a new track that is going to appear on the full length album. Power chords.
Anyway, I left this video unedited, so it captures the maintenance guy being a total dick and cutting my mic at the end. The student who organized the event also acts like a dick. In related news, everyone is a dick. Also, my mic stand malfunctions, but I played it cool.
I didn’t sing the last line because I was embarrassed and I was at my school; fuck it.
Chris Cappello [full band] - “Cheer Down” (Live at Hopkins BOTB - 5/11/12)
This is the first song of mine that my band and I ever played live in a public setting. Watch the full clip for an explanation of this song’s meaning and listen for my English teacher bursting out in laughter once she understands the reference.
Also, my sister recorded this and peppered it with some half-funny, mostly fitting comments~
“Is this about to get really loud?”

Chris Cappello - “Plans For The Future” (new song) (Live at The Space - 4/18/12)
Familiarize yourself with some of the new songs I’ve been playing lately. My band and I will be playing a lot of new stuff at my upcoming shows.
Chris Cappello - “If I Forget Your Face” (Live at The Space - 4/18/12)
My friend Kate Sheely recorded video of three songs from my set at The Space last night. Check out “If I Forget Your Face” above. I’ll post the other two soon.
Thanks to Yuan He for taking photos last night. I think I bummed a lot of people out. Being Conor Oberst for a day was unsurprisingly not that different from being Chris Cappello for a day.
setlist - 10/28/11
Thanks to anyone who came out and enjoyed my set.
