'''Los Capitanes''' are a 7-piece [[Canberra]] based [[ska]] band. Heralded by the media as "an explosive freakshow comprised of misfits and loners," Los Capitanes have honed and sharpened a style which defies accepted ska clichés to create their very own distinctive flavour. Combining coastal dub sounds and tight suburban punk rock, Los Capitanes unique live show has paved the way for a multitude of national and international support slots including: [[Koolism]], [[Gyroscope]], [[The Porkers]], [[The Whitlams]], [[Area 7, ]], [[The Bleeders]], [[Regurgitator]], [[Unpaid Debt, ]], [[The Herd, ]], [[Autumn to Ashes,  ]], [[Parkway Drive]], [[Killing Heidi]] as well as British legends [[The Specials]].

In February 2006, Los Cap recruited famed Sydney engineer Lachlan Mitchell (The Porkers, After the Fall, The Dead Walk) and Australian ska Legend Porker Pete to help record their debut album 'No Fun Intended' (Available now through [[Sound System Records]]/ MGM), since then the boys have gone from strength to strength, with two of their tracks currently enjoying spot rotation on national radio station Triple J.
