Joe Raposo (born 1970), of Portuguese descent, is the bassist for the seminal California punk rock band Lagwagon and QA engineer lead at Zynga.[1] He also played bass for a period of time for The Real Mckenzies[2] and Mad Caddies.[3] Additionally, Raposo plays bass for the San Francisco-based fusion group King City, with fellow Lagwagon member Chris Rest[4] as well as filling in on bass for several live shows with the Dwarves.[5] Raposo began his career in 1987 at the age of seventeen by joining California hardcore punk band Rich Kids on LSD as their new bassist[6] and remained with RKL until their hiatus in 1996. In 1995, Maximumrocknroll called Raposo "flat out the best bass player in the state of California."[7] He began playing shows with RKL again in 2003 (after they had re-formed a year prior) until their current hiatus after the death of lead singer Jason Sears.[8] Raposo joined Lagwagon in 2010, replacing original bassist Jesse Buglione.[9] Raposo also plays bass in the cover band Uke-Hunt and is the bass player for the band A Vulture Wake, which is fronted by Chad Price from the band ALL
In 2018 his band A Vulture Wake released their first full length album called The Appropriate Level of Outrage.
