As Ben Weasel reforms Screeching Weasel with new band members, the former members of Screeching Weasel are forming a new band of their own. Dan Vapid and The Cheats is fronted by, yeah, Dan Vapid who played guitar in Screeching Weasel (along with a butt load of other bands). He’s joined by Mike Byrne (ex-Methadones/guitar), Simon Lamb (ex-Screeching Weasel/bass) and Mike Soucy (The Bomb/ex-Methadones/drums).
The group formed after what was supposed to be a one-off show in Chicago, where the crowd’s response was so overwhelmingly positive, the fellas decided to just keep it going. More shows are being planned and the band will even be recording a new album in October.
We’ll keep you posted as things progress.
