I have been playing the drums since I was 15, my love for drums started when I was in school, taking GCSE Music and having to do a project band, I volunteered to take the drums, despite having never sat behind a kit before, there was an instant connection the second I had the drumsticks in my hand. Inspired by my new-found love for Drumming, I saved up and got my first kit, practiced every day, teaching myself everything I know to this day. A few years later, joined a band in college and fell head over heels in love with the music scene, playing live shows and rehearsing every week. Fast forward to 2022. Discussing with my friend Dan who had been in bands for a few years, had recently moved back to Derby from Essex and phoned me asking me if I wanted to start a project with himself. Jumping at the chance and after inviting another friend to join, Capes were born. CAPES are a rock n roll trio hailing from the Midlands. The band is made up of Daniel Parkin (Lead singer/guitarist) Liam Bater(drummer and backing vocalist) and Jordy Baines(bass and backing vocalist). The band came together after meeting on the circuit whilst playing in other bands and realising that they had a shared love of similar music tastes. CAPES have quickly established themselves as Ones To Watch and as live favourites making appearances at the likes of Y Not, Tramlines Fringe and Big Shakeout to name a few. Despite only having formed in the past year, CAPES have already released 3 singles to date, 4AM (Aug 22) , Wish I Could Fly (Sept 22) and Gimme The Night (Feb 23) and more recently have released their debut EP, ‘KNOW YOUR ONIONS’
