Joey Cape (Lagwagon, solo)

SPB: What is the biggest improvement you’ve made to your touring lifestyle over the years? Is there an area of comfort or economy where you’d drastically changed your approach?

Cape: Surrounding myself with good people.  People who enjoy this life. They need to be happy, patient, and comfortable with constant change and unpredictable situations. A sense of humor is the first step. Also teeth brushing and deodorant can be nice.

Hang
Fat Wreck Chords (2014)

Sure, they had a tour here and there as well as reissues of their 90s classics, but it's been years since we've heard some fresh new music from the band. They released an EP in 2008, but most of that material had previously already been featured … Read more

I Think My Older Brother Used to Listen to Lagwagon
Fat Wreck Chords (2008)

Closing in on twenty years as a band, Lagwagon presents us with new songs, perhaps aiming to revive that nearly defunct Fat/Epitaph sound.
