Joey Cape and Brian Wahlstrom in tribute to Tony Sly
A musician since the age of 10, for well over two decades Joey Cape has been lending his voice, his songwriting skills, guitar playing and casual charm to the likes of bands as disparate as Lagwagon, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, Bad Astronaut and more recently to Scorpios, which was founded by Cape with the late Tony Sly of No Use for a Name.
Joey Cape will be in Australia this October with fellow Scorpios band member Brian Wahlstrom, to play 8 shows in tribute to their recently departed friend and bandmate.
A rock and roll renaissance man, Joey’s a punk, an indie rocker, a troubadour and a shit-kicking cover artist all in one, and he’s been doing it all since before most of us were even born. Prolific as ever, now Joey finds his voice in a steady stream of acoustic releases. Most recently teaming up with the late Tony Sly of No Use For A Name for a follow up to 2004’s Acoustic, this time the record Acoustic Volume 2. Tony passed away on 31st July 2012 at the end of an east coast run with Joey. “When I think of losing Tony, I think not of myself but of Tony’s budding family, his many close friends and his loyal fans all desperately missing him, I find an emptiness, a figurative hole in my chest and a literal hole in my life and I most certainly will never be able to fill it. Still, I am a better person having known Tony Sly and will always consider our shared experience a fortune in hand and now in heart and mind” - Joey Cape
