Cayucas

Cayucas are an indie pop band from Santa Monica, California, led by the songwriter Zach Yudin with his twin brother Ben. The project began in 2011 as Yudin’s solo Oregon Bike Trails and took its name from the seaside town of Cayucos. They made Bigfoot (2013, produced by Richard Swift) and Dancing at the Blue Lagoon (2015) for Secretly Canadian, then Real Life (2019), Blue Summer (2020) and Hangin’ on the Westside (2023).

Cayucas “Cayucos (Dungeonesse Remix)”

Dungeonesse, two Baltimore musicians out to reclaim pop, reworked the first Cayucas single with 1980s beats, weeks before Bigfoot came out.
