The indie/pop punk trio Cayetana has been on spin for me for a few weeks now, adeptly summing up our new normal with their frantic urgency.
Powered by Augusta Koch's vocals and guitar, Allegra Anka's bass, and Kelly Olsen's drums, this Philly band emerged on the scene in 2014 with their landmark album "Nervous Like Me." The album included scorchers "Dirty Laundry," "Mountain Kids," "Scott Get the Van, I'm Moving," "Hot Dad Calendar," and "South Philly."
Cayetana first came to my attention when I found a split they were on with another of my favorite recent bands, Camp Cope. "Trails" and "Mesa" were the Cayetana highlights from that work.
The band followed up with "New Kind of Normal" in 2017, highlighted by "Bus Ticket" and "Certain for Miles." Two other standouts for me include a memorable cover of New Order's "Age of Consent" and a live version of "Freedom 1313."
Unfortunately, the trio broke up after a final show in Philly in August 2019. However, these musicians are too talented not to pop up in other bands and projects in the future.
