Captain began with a chance meeting between Rik and Mario at a party in Cambridge where they found they shared a passion for music. from this point they started to write ideas for songs and put on club nights in cambridge. it was from this point that they met via a mutual friend Clare. Several musicians came and went including Luke, Buggsy and Neil before Alex (Bass) and Reuben (drums) all fitted together to create Captain.

The band are London based but Mario is from Athens, Greece, Rik was born in London but has lived in many places including South Africa, Reuben is from Corby, Clare from Devon and Alex from Swindon.

Reuben and Rik were in two previous bands together Kid Blue and cult band The Junket signed to Deceptive records releasing The Stamina mini album, Lux Safari album on Lime Street records and and recorded a third unreleased album. [1]. Reuben then joined Island band Cherry Falls between The Junket and Captain.

The band were in the studio from Jan 06 to march recording the album at Sarm Studios London and worked with producer Trevor Horn, to create their debut album This Is Hazelville, which was released on August 14, 2006.[1]
