- january 2010 : Capillary Action is a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania based
band made up largely of graduates of Oberlin College and Oberlin
Conservatory of Music. The ensemble has a widely-varying list of members
centered around the constant Jonathan Pfeffer. Capillary Action's 2004
debut album Fragments was written when Pfeffer was 17 years old, and was
realized mostly as a solo project, with help from fellow Oberlin
students Jeff Cristiani and Kevin Alexander. The second proper Capillary Action release So
Embarrassing, features strings, horns, electronics, percussion, and
vocals accompanying an album of personal accounts. It was recorded by
Colin Marston at The Thousand Caves Recording Studios with Pfeffer's
long time collaborators Ricardo Lagomasino on drums, Spencer Russell on
upright and electric basses, and Kevin McHugh on keyboards. The album
also featured Johnny Butler on saxophone, Matthew Nelson on saxophone,
Ryan Snow on trombone, Andy Hunter on trombone, Jeffrey Young on violin,
Jessica Pavone on viola, Caleigh Drane on cello, and Zachary Crystal on
percussion. While the third Capillary Action record, Cannibal
Impulses, was completed and unofficially distributed prior to So
Embarrassing, it has yet to be released in its final format, a
multimedia DVD containing video to accompany each song. In 2006, Capillary Action performed at The Rogue
Independent Music Festival, at Progressive rock / Art Rock festival in
Atlanta, GA. Recently, Capillary Action served double duty as both
opening act and backing band for Fugazi bassist Joe Lally on a tour of
the midwestern United States. |
