7/12/00 - Alas! A sad day it is for Los Capitanos! Steve and Russ leave today for Florida to attend film school. We would just like to take this opportunity to say that they both have been great additions to all of our lives, not to mention the heart and soul of Los Capitanos. They will be greatly missed. However, fear not, loyal fans, for when they return Los Capitanos will reunite and hopefully get to work on their first album. Until then, please check out the Bison Lair on our links page. It's sure to be growing real soon.
7/12/00 - Well here's some good news! We finally got around to putting up some sound samples of Los Capitanos.

1/23/01 - Los Capitanos has hit the big time with over 1000 site hits in just a few weeks. The band now has a new email address (loscapitanos@yahoo.com) and the guest book is up and running again.

Check the lyrics page for additional Archibald lyrics, and for the first time ever the lyrics to Snow Mountain Yeti.
3/5/02 - Los Capitanos, after many name and few member changes becomes STATES OF MELBA and begins practicing and recording regularly. Several songs are finished, many more sure to come. Look for a demo disk to be available sometime this summer.
6/6/02 - States of Melba is diligently working on the production of their first demo disk to be titled "Malevolent Legumes." Look for it, as well as a States of Melba sticker, to be on sale during Zao's upcoming tour.
