Timeline
Although the official cause of death and other details were not immediately disclosed, a posting by The Ataris frontman Kris Roe to that band's website confirmed reports that Derrick took his own life — the victim of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Despite never being diagnosed, Derrick was suspected as bipolar and was battling drug addiction. Joey Cape described in one interview that many people, including himself, felt like "it's not if, it's when" [will Derrick commit suicide].
Derrick also played with acclaimed Santa Barbara outfit The Mad Caddies, and appeared on their 2001. album "Rock the Plank".
Later in 2001, Derrick teamed up with his friend and former bandmate Joey Cape in the band Bad Astronaut and played on their first two albums "Acrophobe" and "Houston: We have a drinking problem". The band also released a third album in 2006. named "Twelve Small Steps, One Giant Disappointment" with several tracks featuring Derrick on drums. After Derrick's death, Joey Cape announced that there will be no more Bad Astronaut albums because "without Derrick, there is no Bad Astronaut".
In 1997, Plourde contacted Kris Roe of The Ataris, who were looking for a rhythm section at the time. The two immediately hit it off and Plourde would stay with the band through the recording of their debut album "Anywhere But Here"
Derrick first caught the attention of the pop-punk underground in the Goleta/Santa Barbara scene in the early 1990s in the band Lagwagon (then called Section 8). That recognition expanded outside of the Southern California scene in 1992 with the release of Lagwagon's debut album "Duh" (the first release from Fat Wreck Chords) and the two follow-up albums "Trashed" and "Hoss". Derrick left Lagwagon in 1995 and was replaced by Dave Raun of RKL.
