Keith Caputo Died Laughing Tour

One of the biggest voices (and smallest bodies) in rock music belongs to Brooklyn’s own Keith Caputo.

After garnering a massive following as the vocalist for the world-renowned rock-alt/metal outfit Life of Agony, Caputo has honed a reputation for touching listeners to the very depths of their souls with his music, lyrics, and poetry. His heartrending live performances are well-earned: within a single show, he is capable of inciting arena-sized mosh pits in addition to a breathless silence.

Throughout the last twenty years, Caputo has recorded eighteen-plus diversely influential albums—not including demos, live records, or EPs—with an impressive who’s who of industry veterans, including:

• Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers) – bassist and trumpet player

• Craig Ross (Lenny Kravitz, Eric Clapton, Sheryl Crow) – guitarist

• Zac Rae (Fiona Apple, Miley Cyrus, Annie Lennox) – pianist

• Martyn Lenoble (Jane’s Addiction, Porno for Pyros, Mark Lanegan, The Cult) – producer

• Greg Fidleman (Rage Against The Machine, Marilyn Manson, Johnny Cash) – mixer

• Mike Shipley (The Cars, Queen, Aerosmith, Joni Mitchell) – mixer

Most recently, producers Sylvia Massey (Tool, Life of Agony, System of a Down) and Joey Zampella contributed to Life of Agony’s 2019 release, The Sound of Scars.

On the festival circuit, Caputo has shared stages with multitudes of genre titans, among them Coldplay, Nine Inch Nails, Björk, David Bowie, Pixies, Velvet Revolver, Bush, Slipknot, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Modest Mouse, Aphex Twin, Foo Fighters, and more.

With distinctive influences ranging from Led Zeppelin and The Doors to Arthur Rimbaud and William S. Burroughs, Keith is unafraid to mine new musical territory—as evidenced by his most recent releases: A Fondness for Hometown Scars, As Much Truth as One Can Bear, Love Hard, and The Mones..

Keith has also frequently co-collaborated with Grammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist producer Andy Kravitz (Cypress Hill, Billy Joel, Imogen Heap, Julianna Hatfield), whom he met during the Life of Agony Soul Searching Sun recording sessions in the late 1990s.

Kravitz co-produced and was heavily present on Caputo’s last two albums, Love Hard and As Much Truth as One Can Bear, as well as on his ambient geek-rock duo side project The Neptune Darlings with Ryan Oldcastle, which released two records: Chestnuts and Fireflies and Principium Sequentia.

Obsessed with hard truths, Caputo remains an intrepid conquistador of his own pain.

Orphaned by heroin-addicted parents, Keith was forced to grow up in a dark world of poverty, violence, and crime. And while themes of abuse and abandonment may seem familiar to those who follow his work, Caputo innovatively sheds new light on these subjects with every song he creates.

As unorthodox as his lyrical content can sometimes be, the most surprising aspect about Caputo is his undying romanticism—his unwavering insistence on seeing the silver lining in every cloud.

As Keith himself says:
“From my own feelings of displacement, dissatisfaction, and yearning, comes a vast sea of compassion.”
