The Cape May


The Cape May are a Canadian musical act from Calgary, Alberta. The band's songs are centred on the poetic lyrics of vocalist Clinton St. John, which tell moody stories of urban dystopia and changing culture.

History

The Cape May was formed in 2003 by Clinton St. John and Jeff Macleod. The band released their first album Central City May Rise Again on Flemish Eye in 2005; Jeff Deringer also contributed guitar and drum work to the album. The band then went on a tour in western Canada.
The band's lineup was later rounded out by multi-instrumentalist Matt Flegel. In 2006 they were invited by Nina Nastasia to be her backing band on tour across the US and Europe, opening on many of the dates. That year they released their second album, Glass Mountain Roads, with the help of engineer Steve Albini.
