Southern California punks Lagwagon formed in the small town of Goleta in 1990; originally dubbed Section 8, the line-up frequently fluctuated during the band's formative period, and by the time of their 1992 debut Duh comprised singer Joey, guitarists Chris and Shawn, bassist Jesse and drummer Derrick. Trashed followed two years later, and in 1995 Lagwagon returned with Hoss; Derrick left the band shortly after, and was replaced by ex-Rich Kids on LSD drummer Dave. Former Posies guitarist Ken Stringfellow also replaced Shawn in time for Lagwagon's next effort, 1997's Double Plaidinum; he soon departed as well, and another Rich Kids alum, guitarist Chris, was on board for 1998's Let's Talk About Feelings.
