Bad Astronaut
Bio
Bad Astronaut is the indie-rock side project of Joey Cape, lead singer and songwriter for the flagship Fat Wreck Chords band Lagwagon and 1/5 of the all-star punk cover band Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. Formed in 2000, this 7-piece band has released two dark, mature, studio-heavy full lengths (2001’s Acrophobe & 2002’s Houston: We Have a Drinking Problem) influenced by serious songwriters such as the Flaming Lips, David Bowie & Elliot Smith. The band is rounded out by former Lagwagon drummer Derrick Plourde, Sugarcult guitarist Marko 72 and producer, engineer and owner of Orange Whip Studios, Angus Cooke.
