Canopus

In 2012, Zach Lopez and Sebashtian Castaneda got together and started a metal band. Originally called "Dawn By Sundown" (soon changed to "Dawn By Nightfall" to get a better metal feel) they invited Ruben Gomez to join them on drums. With a lot of confusion about their name, Zach changed the name to "Canopus". While in the process of writing their title song, Jordan Ibarra joined the band. With Sebashtian and Ruben's departure, Canopus had a few fill-in drummers including Jacob Diaz of Severator. While in their senior year of high school, Will Rojas and Cazmir Nishi joined the band, becoming the fourth drummer and first official bassist of Canopus. With this lineup, "Garage Trials" was written and released. This line up had a good run until Cazmir's departure to focus on his band "The Countermind" and a fall out with Will. The band went on a small hiatus to rebuild the band and to write new material. In the fall of 2016, Canopus had the addition of Sancho and MAC. This was the strongest line up Canopus has had. The new additions brought new life to the band and made the sound tighter and heavier. check out our other pages: www.youtube.com/CanopusBand www.twitter.com/canopus_band www.instagram.com/canopus_band www.canopus562.bandcamp.com www.myspace.com/canopus_band Metal band from Whittier, Ca Pronounced "Kuh-no-piss"
