The Playing Favorites (Lagwagon, Sugarcult) plan debut shows

Suburban Home Records alt-punk dream band the Playing Favorites (featuring members of Lagwagon, Bad Astronaut, Sugarcult, Me First & The Gimme Gimmes) have announced four shows in support of their debut release. The record titled I Remember When I Was Pretty will be hitting shelves on Dec. 4.

The Plain Favorites’ Joey Cape:

"It all started in December, 2005. It took us 2 years to complete because we are all busy with our day jobs. I have to say, I am so proud of this record. It was a lot fun to make, especially because the members are some of my oldest and closest friends. We all grew up together in Santa Barbara, California, playing in various other bands, sometimes together. There are 4 singers and 4 songwriters in this band so the sound is somewhat eclectic."

Show dates are as follows:

12/7 – Los Angeles, CA – the Viper Room

12/8 – Silver Lake, CA – Spaceland

12/9 – San Marcos, CA – Loser Kids (acoustic show with Angels Airwaves)

12/9 – Anaheim, CA – Chain Reaction
