Dynamically, they are very differentbut they are similar in that they are both very honest approaches.<br /><br />After 20 years of fronting Punk Rock band Lagwagon, Joey Cape is drawn to diversity. His compulsion to try new things is evident in the side-projects hes done along the way: the experimental indie-rock of Bad Astronaut, all-star party/cover band Me First & the Gimme Gimmes, power-pop combo The Playing Favorites and his work as a producer for bands such as The Ataris and Nerf Herder.<br /><br />I am a musician, I dont have that gang-mentality. I make music and life is short. I want to create as much as possible before I lose my muse, says Cape.<br /><br />http://www.myspace.com/joeycape<br /><br />Tune in again tomorrow!!!
