Check out a video for the song "Miracle Drug" by Dan Vapid and The Cheats. The video was directed by Danny DelPurgatorio and produced by Vitamin Pictures and appears on the album Two released last year.
Dan Vapid & The Cheats is the latest project from singer/songwriter Dan "Vapid" Schafer, a veteran of the punk scene who has done time in the influential bands Screeching Weasel, Riverdales, The Methadones, Sludgeworth, Noise By Numbers, The Mopes, and the Queers.
Originally planned as a one-off show, Vapid and his former bandmates in The Methadones and Screeching Weasel took the stage at Chicago's Cobra Lounge on May 27th, 2011 to play a set of songs spanning his two decade-plus career. The show was a huge success and after the overwhelming response from fans around the globe, Dan Vapid & The Cheats was born.
Since then the band has released a self-titled debut recorded by Justin Perkins, a second LP titled "Two" produced by Matt Allison (Alkaline Trio, Lawrence Arms), a split 7" with Masked Intruder, a split 7" with The Jetty Boys and made an appearance on "Our Lips Are Sealed" - A Tribute to the Go-Go’s. In addition, the band has toured the Pacific Northwest, the Midwest, the East Coast, and Canada, as well as well as playing Insubordination Fest '13, Riot Fest and Fest 11.
