Biography

Cap'n Jazz were an American emo/punk band formed in the early 1990's in Buffalo Grove, IL by high school friends Tim Kinsella (vocals), Victor Villareal (guitar), and Sam Zurick (bass), along with Tim's younger brother Mike (drums). The band released a couple of EPs and appeared on several local compilations before adding Milwaukee native Davey von Bohlen on second guitar in 1994. The group released their lone LP in the spring of 1995 and broke up while on tour later than summer. Members would continue music in bands like [a=The Promise Ring], [a=Joan Of Arc] and [a312291]. Fueled by some of the members post-Cap'n Jazz activities, interest in the band grew after their break up and in 1998 Jade Tree Records compiled most of their recordings (which were all out of print) on to a double-disc release. In 2001, the original foursome of Mike, Tim, Victor, and Sam reunited and cut an album under the moniker "[a=Owls]" for Jade Tree. In 2010, the band reunited for a series of live shows around Chicago, as well as a short, out of state tour. The group reunited for a few shows again in 2017 and 2024, with Mike and Tim's cousin, Nate, filling in for Davey vonBohlen, who declined to participate.

LYRICS

Fire is motion
Work is repetition
This is my document
We are all all we've done
We are all all we've done
We are all all we've done
We are all all defenses
Fire is motion, is motion growth?

And you are colder than oldness could ever be
And you are bolder than buzzing bugs

My Mama said my cousin Bucky is so boldy bald cause,
my cousin Bucky never took his hat off
my cousin Bucky kept his hat on even when he was swimming
I know there's a lesson in there somewhere
Something nothing special
'Bout boys who smell like salami
And boys who've never apologized

And you are colder than oldness could ever be
And you are bolder than buzzing bugs
