We were thirsty. We needed a place to fish. A garage to play in. A community that would have us.
We could have called ourselves TSTY FRZ or Near Death Seth or the Von Pfisters or Blind Cavefish or Teeth of Suarez or The Last Dying Breath of Henry Ford.
But we didn't. All we had to do was look around - we are the Ex Capitals.

Beyond Fab plays a wide variety of classic music created by John, Paul, George and Ringo after the Beatles broke up. The early period of this music saw an explosion of great and sometimes supressed talent and Beyond Fab pays tribute to those fantastic songs. But Beyond Fab also dives into music that was either related to the Beatles, like Badfinger, or other projects the Beatles participated in like the Traveling Willburys. All of the songs are instantly recognizable classics that are rarely heard played live.
