Cayucas UK tour starts 1 September
Cayucas arrive in the UK next month for a string of dates, including End Of The Road festival and a show at London’s 100 Club on 3 September.
Since their last trip to the UK where they played a sold out show to ecstatic crowds at the Lexington in May, Cayucas embarked on a sold US tour with extended family label mates Brazos.
The Californian four piece release their irresistibly summery single ‘Cayucos’ on 30 September via Secretly Canadian. Check out their nostalgic, Wes Anderson indebted video about teen crushes and holiday romances here: http://youtu.be/deeq8HcWzzk
Their perfect pop debut album Bigfoot is out now on Secretly Canadian.

Cayucas released their debut album Bigfoot on 29 April, via Secretly Canadian. As Cayucas mastermind, Zach Yudin has created a sound steeped in his sunny California roots, each track a perfectly crafted pop zinger. His catchy, addictive melodies are buoyed by syncopated rhythms and a breezy chorus of vocals. Built in layers and with exquisite atmospheric detail – the hiss of a needle in the groove, steel drum reverb, ambient party noise – Cayucas fixes to a place and time filled with the warmth of nostalgia and the joy of youth.
Cayucas: Pronounced “ky-yook-us”, it’s the (slightly misspelled) name of a sleepy little seaside town in San Luis Obispo County, California. That town, Cayucos, has hardly changed in the last 50 years, a far cry from the gentrified tourist traps parading showily down the nearby coastline. In the early 1960s, the surfing craze hit. There was one bar around which local kids congregated back then, the site of helpless crushes and fights and games of pool, a place whose jukebox soundtracked innumerable teenage years as breezy summers rolled into mild winters and back around again. The bar has since disappeared, but as Zach Yudin, who named his band after the town, will tell you, the place still holds on tight to its propensity for dreamy, lazy, bonfire-lit nights worth getting moony-eyed about.
Bigfoot was recorded up in the chilly Pacific North West – in Oregon, with Secretly’s Richard Swift (The Shins, Damien Jurado, Foxygen) in charge of production and is the result of Swift and Yudin’s sympathetic working relationship, and positivity one of its brightest qualities. Upcoming single ‘High School Lover’ is perhaps Bigfoot’s most quintessential song; centred around a chiming rhythm ripe for shimmying, and a tale that sums up Yudin’s taste for his own personal nostalgia. “There was this girl in 8th grade that sent me all these letters one summer. I kept them all – on the bottom of each one, she had written, ‘Call me at this number.’ I never called her. The first day of school, she came up to me and asked, ‘Hey, did you get those letters I sent you?’ I was like ‘…no.’ Why did I do that?!”
For now though, missed opportunities are far from Yudin’s mind. Having worked at a local independent jazz label for a couple of years, he’s now making music full-time, rehearsing with his new band for Cayucas’ first live shows, running along the Venice Beach boardwalk, and hitting a certain bar each night to play pool and hang out. Some places don’t change.
