History of Capitol Basement:
Members of Capitol Basement united through the Experience Arts Camps sponsored by Paul Allen’s Experience Music Project. Many were already childhood friends but through EAC, they had the opportunity to play music collaboratively with talented teachers and mentors.

Their love of music and desire to improve as a group led them to The Seattle Drum School, known for it’s support of young aspiring bands. Under the instruction of Steve Smith (owner of The Seattle Drum School, drummer for Billy Moon) and Lorne Watson of Loop 2.4.3., Capitol Basement grew as a more cohesive entity…musically and personally.

In October 2003, band members Kelvin Bates, Brian Chinn, Nick Demmert, Evan Easthope and Kessiah Gordon founded Capitol Basement. The name derived from the many hours spent practicing in drummer, Kessiah Gordon’s basement located on Seattle''s Capitol Hill neighborhood.

Although the band is making its mark above ground their roots below ground are a happy memory of where they first began playing music.


Philanthropy and Community Service:
Capitol Basement, in cooperation with Steve Smith, owner of the Seattle Drum School, organized and raised $3000 for victims of Hurricane Katrina. All proceeds were donated to Habitat for Humanity’s Project Home Delivery and Musician’s Village.
