Bad Astronaut is an indie/punk rock band founded in 2000 by Joey Cape, singer from Lagwagon. In Bad Astronaut, Joey Cape explores a new style of pop, with lyrics often about deep and intricate personal matters.
The follow-up to the 2002 album, Houston: We Have A Drinking Problem entitled Twelve Small Steps, One Giant Disappointment was released on November 14, 2006 on Fat Wreck Chords. On the band's MySpace page [1], Joey Cape announced that this will be the final album of Bad Astronaut, "because without Derrick, there is no Bad Astronaut." (Drummer Derrick Plourde committed suicide in March 2005.)
