Capsula es un grupo nacido en Sud América, guiados por la pareja Martin Guevara y Coni Duchess Duchess, junto a distintos músicos llevando una larga carrera con 11 discos publicados y miles de conciertos en América del Norte, Latinoamérica y Europa.

Comenzaron su periplo con conciertos en salas del underground de Buenos Aires y decidieron mudarse a Europa para girar por el mundo en 1999. Totalmente DIY y eligiendo como sede rockera la ciudad de Bilbao, recorrieron salas por toda Europa, girando todos los años y elaborando un sonido sónico propio. Así sus directos eléctricos comienzan a ser reconocidos gracias al boca en boca. En 2009 fueron descubiertos por David Fricke, quien al verlos tocar en SXSW escribió en Rolling Stone en su columna de clásicos Fricke Pick's. A partir de entonces la historia del grupo toma otro giro definitivo.

Han trabajado con los productores John Agnello (Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr) en el disco "In The Land Of Silver Souls" (2011) y en el disco homenaje en el 2012 "Dreaming of Ziggy Stardust". Una recreación sónica del clásico del maestro David Bowie. Girando por salas de Estados Unidos y para gran asombro del Martin y Coni, aparece en escena Tony Visconti (T-Rex, David Bowie) quien tras verlos en directo produce el oscuro "Solar Secrets" (2013) del que se destaca el single "Blind":

"Here is garage-glam heaven on a platter: Tony Visconti, who produced hot glitter for David Bowie and T. Rex 40-plus years ago, doing it again with the fine trio Capsula, from Bilbao, Spain. Visconti sets Capsula's dynamic compression of the Who, the Cramps and Sonic Youth in a high tide of psychedelia (long echo, watery tremolo, massed spires of treble guitar) that makes "Riverside of Love" and "Trails of Senselessness" sound like a fresh afterburn of the '67 Pretty Things and an acid-charged X. "You gotta be free," guitarist Martin Guevara and bassist Coni Duchess, Capsula's founding couple, sing in "Blind." They're already flying." September 26, 2013. David Fricke - Rolling Stone.

Los discos de Capsula "Rising Mountains", "In The Land of Silver Souls", "Solar Secrets" fueron número 1 del año para la prensa en España y disco del año para radio KEXP de Seattle, además de incluir varias de las canciones como "Canción de la semana" en Little Steven's Underground Garage (New York), KXLU (Los Angeles), KDHX (St Louis).

Con una gran base de fans y apasionados seguidores, han girado sin parar por todo Estados Unidos, Latinoamérica y Europa, tanto en salas como en festivales (Austin Psych Fest, Primavera Sound, SXSW, Rock Al Parque, Bilbao BBK Live, Jazzaldia, Nox Orae, 35 Denton, Savannah Stopover, Filter Culture Collide)

Han girado con la legendaria e influyente banda psicodélica Os Mutantes (Brasil) y compartido cartel con Iggy Pop, Black Rebel Motorcycle, Mudhoney, Wire, The Zombies, Black Angels, Roky Erickson, The Horrors y abierto el show de Pearl Jam en Argentina para 70.000 personas en el Estadio de La Plata en 2015.

Capsula presentan "Santa Rosa" su nuevo disco de estudio del 2016 en Estados Unidos, Europa y Latinoamérica. El álbum, editado también en Francia por el sello Vicious Circle, ha recibido excelentes críticas y ha estado en las listas de los 10 discos más elegidos por los DJ de radios en Francia.

Las canciones "Seven Crimes" y "Holding a Knife" fueron incluídas en la serie de Netflix de terror y suspense "Hemlock Grove" (S3, Ep3 2015).

Capsula are Rock 'n' Roll. The forever touring couple formed by Martin Guevara -wild front man & guitarist- and his rock 'n' roll soul-mate Coni Lisica on bass, create huge waves of 70's rotten glam riffs (think of Bowie and T-Rex) with blowing drops of South American psychedelia - where they are originally from - to transport you to their constellation of free and savage sounds.

Their raw and high energy on stage will definitely catch you. They are masters of mixing different sounds from different decades to make the dreams of future manifest: Post punk, Kraut, Garage, Sweet pop, Heavy riffs, everything is connected through the diamond moving rock that Capsula is. If you don't believe it, check their history: Born in Argentina, they relocated in Europe to tour the world. They took their name from David Bowie's songs "Space Oddity" and "The Jean Genie", without knowing that years later they were going to be working with T-Rex creative brain behind the sound desk and Bowie Berlin-era producer Tony Visconti.

David Fricke has expressed his enlightenment: "Here is garage-glam heaven on a platter: Tony Visconti, who produced hot glitter for David Bowie and T. Rex 40-plus years ago, doing it again with the fine trio Capsula, from Bilbao, Spain. Visconti sets Capsula's dynamic compression of the Who, the Cramps and Sonic Youth in a high tide of psychedelia (long echo, watery tremolo, massed spires of treble guitar) that makes "Riverside of Love" and "Trails of Senselessness" sound like a fresh after burn of the '67 Pretty Things and an acid-charged X. "You gotta be free," guitarist Martin Guevara and bassist Coni Duchess, Capsula's founding couple, sing in "Blind." They're already flying"

They are constantly on tour spreading their songs. You can see them live in festivals across Europe (Primavera Sound, Bilbao BBK Live, Jazzaldia, Nox Orae and more), South America, or USA (Austin Psych Fest, 35 Denton, Savannah Stopover, Filter Culture Collide, SXSW, CMJ and more) where they toured twice from coast to coast with influential psychedelic rock band "Os Mutantes" as well as headlining their own 22 shows in America last March 2015.

Capsula are now presenting their 11th album “Santa Rosa” (Vicious Circle, 2016) an electric storm of rock 'n' roll sounds, new wave and psychedelia with a glimpse of South-American vibes.

The songs "Seven Crimes" and "Holding a Knife" are included in the soundtrack of the the American Netflix original horror web television series "Hemlock Grove" (S3, Ep3 2015).

2. Capsula is Yosi Shamay, born in 1978 and living in Kfar Saba, Israel.

enCAPSULAte is the artist formerly known as Capsula - Israel's Yosi Shamay. He began his music explorations back in his teenage years and somewhere between his mind altering travels on the planet within the psytrance culture and earning a chemistry degree at university, Yosi turned his considerable talents to psychedelic chillout, influenced by the likes of Terence & Dennis McKenna, Alan Watts and Carlos Castaneda, just to name a few.

His former artist name was Capsula, but he changed it because of the confusion with the indie rock/ garage rock from Buenos Aires.

The thirth album he released is called 'Fetal Position' (2013), it is the first album he released under his new artist name. The former two albums he released (under his old artist name - Capsula) are Synthesis Of Reality (2005) and Sense Of A Drop (2009).
