Lagwagon
Encyclopedia
Lagwagon is an American
punk rock
band originally from Goleta
, just outside Santa Barbara, California
. They formed in 1990 and went on hiatus and reunited several times over the years. Their name comes from the band's tour van, which can be seen on the back cover of their 1994 second album Trashed
.
The band has 10 releases through Fat Wreck Chords
: seven studio albums, one EP, one live album and a collection of B-sides, compilation tracks and demos. Lagwagon has never had, nor have they seemed to pursue, strong mainstream
success, but they do have a devoted underground
following in North America
, Europe
and Asia
. Their moderate success earned a growing interest in punk rock during the 1990s, along with fellow California bands Rancid
, Green Day
and The Offspring
. Unlike these bands, however, Lagwagon has never been signed to a major label.
, Lagwagon released their debut album for the label, Duh, in 1992. Frontman Joey Cape
commented on how the album was made, "Back then, we were experienced in the studio. It was less about the recording process and more about rehearsing. We recorded and mixed Duh in 4 days. There's something to be said for a budget. You have to have your shit together before you go into the studio and the end result is a record that better reflects the band's sound at the time." Two years later, Lagwagon released Trashed
, their second record on Fat, which turned out to be highly successful, leading to the eventual production of a video for "Island of Shame." During this time, a number of punk bands, such as Green Day
, The Offspring
and Rancid
, had hit the mainstream and Lagwagon turned down offers to join several major labels. Hoss
, the third Lagwagon album, was released on November 21, 1995. After the release of that album and an extensive tour in Europe, Australia, and Japan, both guitarist Shawn Dewey and drummer Derrick Plourde
would leave the band and be replaced temporarily by Ken Stringfellow
(The Posies
) on guitar, and permanently by Dave Raun
(RKL
) on drums. Shawn Dewey, already in the side project band Buckwild
on Lobster Records
would go on to release two full length LP's Beat Me Silly and Full Metal Overdrive and do two European tours with Good Riddance
and Ten Foot Pole
.
After two more albums, Double Plaidinum
and Let's Talk About Feelings
, the band went on indefinite hiatus in 2000, due to all members working on side projects. Lagwagon resurfaced in 2002, and released their sixth album Blaze the following year. In 2004, frontman Joey Cape released a split album with No Use for a Name
vocalist Tony Sly
featuring acoustic versions of songs by both bands. On November 1, 2005, Lagwagon released Resolve, which is a homage to the life of Derrick Plourde
, original drummer for Lagwagon and Bad Astronaut
.
In 2008, Lagwagon released an EP titled I Think My Older Brother Used to Listen to Lagwagon
. Despite earlier reports that the band would begin recording their next full-length studio album by 2009, Lagwagon had gone on hiatus from touring and writing again, due to Cape launching a solo career, releasing Bridge
in 2008 and Doesn't Play Well with Others
in 2010.
In January 2010, Joey Cape announced during an interview with Canada's Exclaim! magazine that Jesse Buglione has left Lagwagon, having been with the band since its foundation in 1990. However, Cape dismissed rumors of Lagwagon breaking up. While he's not sure if Lagwagon will ever make a new album or embark on another full-scale tour, he's open to playing shows and possibly recording and releasing new Lagwagon songs sporadically. Jesse Buglione confirmed his departure on Lagwagon's official message board himself, as reported by sputnikmusic.com and punknews.org. Lagwagon toured with No Use for a Name
that summer. In an interview with fasterlouder.com.au Joey Cape
, revealed former RKL
bassist Joe Raposo is Lagwagon's new bassist. In a June 2011 interview with ExploreMusic however, Joey Cape
said that things didn't work out with Raposo, and the band is testing a new bassist.
After first announcing Patrick Solem as the new bass player in August of 2011, the band decided that Raposo will remain a member after all in October of 2011.
On September 22, 2011, Fat Wreck announced they would be re-issuing expanded editions of the first 5 albums on CD, vinyl, and digital download. The albums will be available both individually, as well as in a boxed set entitled Putting Music In Its Place. The reissues are set to be released November 22, 2011, with a short line-up of concerts in the USA to be played in December and January, and a European tour to follow in April of 2012.
