"Do you have any coffee," Joey Cape asks, squinting at the long rows of bottles behind the bar at the Media Club in Vancouver.
"No, sorry we have lots of booze though," the bartender replies with a laugh.
Joey rubs his now slightly graying beard, looking defeated.
"No dude
I need some coffee."
The woman behind the bar shrugs.
The Lagwagon singer had just gotten off the road after driving more than five hours from Portland with his other band, Scorpios, an acoustic troupe made up of Drag the River's Jon Snodgrass and piano player Brian Whalstrom. This is the first Scorpios tour without No Use For A Name's Tony Sly, who passed away jarringly last August. The band is back on the road to pay homage to their fallen friend touring across Canada and the U.S., performing mellowed versions of songs from all respective bands as well as tracks from the Scorpios' 2011 album.
