Cage9 is a Panamanian/American alternative rock band that formed in Panama City in 1999. The group was founded by Evan Rodaniche (guitar/vocals) and is currently based out of Los Angeles, California. They have been direct openers for Ozzy Osbourne and Bad Religion, as well as shared the stage with notable acts like Queensrÿche, Seether, Sevendust, and Hellyeah. With a new release called Illuminator out now on Emp Label Group, Metal Pulp And Paper got a chance to speak with Evan before he gets ready to go out on the road in early August with Lacey Sturm.
