History

Kelly Olsen and Allegra Anka first met while going to college in New York, before moving back to their hometown of Philadelphia.[3] They met Augusta Koch at a party in 2011, and bonded over their desire to be in a "girl band." They decided upon meeting that they would form a band, but none of them could play their instruments. Koch originally had to play with a borrowed guitar.[4] Cayetana began performing music together in 2011. They self-released their first extended play, titled Cayetana EP, in 2012. In 2014, they were signed by the independent label Tiny Engines signed them, and released a 7 inch titled Hot Dad Calendar in March of that year.[5] [6]

On September 9, 2014, Cayetana released their debut full-length album titled Nervous Like Me via Tiny Engines.[7] [8] [9] [10] The album was praised by Vice for Koch's "raggedy and distinct delivery." Two years later, Cayetana released an EP on Asian Man Records titled Tired Eyes. The EP was noted as being a "slow-burn" and a change of pace for the band.[11] Later that year, Cayetana released a split on Poison City Records with Camp Cope.[12]

In 2017, they released their second full-length New Kind of Normal, which was released by Plum Records.

In 2019, Cayetana announced that they would be breaking up, and they played their final show in Philadelphia on August 3, 2019. The band was praised as a "staple" of the rock music scene in Philadelphia.[13]
