    Kelly Olsen, Allegra Anka and Augusta Koch made up the three members of a band called Cayetana who called it a wrap this past weekend. Cayetana was a band that my friends and I stumbled upon one day while going to a local punk show at our hometown venue. This was an experience that would prove to be life altering in many positive ways. Cayetana has been inspiration in the dark.

This podcast episode is a brief telling of some of the adventures we've had either going to see Cayetana perform, or hearing their music in our everyday moments.
