Artist to Watch: James Supercave

Redefining the musical landscape of the eastside, James Supercave have only been performing since 2012, and haven’t officially released an album yet. With a sound as big as a David Bowie-fronted version of Pink Floyd, and an energetic live show to match, its apparent the young quintet are only scratching the surface of their creativity. The band’s first proper single (demos have been leaking for over a year), "The Right Thing" is an art pop opus. Melody and rhythm collide as each movement takes you on a journey of ever-increasing tension that bursts open to an ending filled with pounding drums, soaring strings, and frontman Joaquin Pastor’s signature vocal stylings. James Supercave’s debut EP ‘The Afternoon’ is set for release on Hit City USA in March, with a residency at The Echo the same month. Word on the street is, they’ll be joining Warpaint on tour in April. So those free shows every Monday in March are not to be missed.
