Cayucas warm up Toronto

Last night, Cayucas brought rays of California sunshine to The Garrison in Toronto. It may have been -24°C with the wind chill factor outside, but the California band made it feel like we were on the other side of the continent for an hour or so.

They brought all their hits from their début album Bigfoot and got the crowd dancing and swaying along. They hit up "Cayucos" early in the show and saved "High School Lover" for almost the end, as one would expect.

They even dragged out a tune they hadn't played in "years" for a reluctant encore.

Good times!

Here are a few of my faves: "Cayucos", "High School Lover" and "East Coast Girl".

Cayucas live on KEXP

I'm interested in seeing Cayucas when the hit up Toronto March 2 at The Garrison. For now, I can enjoy this KEXP performance.

They play:

Cayucos

East Coast Girl

Will "The Thrill"

High School Lover

Cayucas warm me up

So I'm sensing a theme here. Ever since fall started, and now as Toronto is gripped in a cold snap, I've been seeking out or just happening upon very sunshiny tunes. Not so hard to figure out what's going on here.

So now I turn to Cayucas who, of course, hail from sunny California and they don't try to hide that influence from their songs at all. Their album, Bigfoot, is out now.

"Cayucos"

"High School Lover"
