Bad Astronaut - Twelve Small Steps One Giant Disappointment

On top of fronting the melodic pop-punk quintet Lagwagon, vocalist and guitarist Joey Cape also moonlights as the frontman for Bad Astronaut. Accompanied by former Nerf Herder and Swinging' Utters bassist Marko 72 (also of Sugarcult) and Lagwagon drummer Derrick Plourde, this three-piece debuted in their hometown of Santa Barbara in early 2000.
