He is currently working with Capillary Action, Joe Lally of Fugazi, and Altamira.Press Quotes:"[Ricardo Lagomasino's] percussion was a flurry of touches that reminds me of Denardo Coleman with the impact of late 80's speed metal." -Mike Long, Black Lodge Productions"[Capillary Action's] alternating between mellow jazz to near-hardcore rock was a compelling mix, particularly as the drummer guided them through, demonstrating his exceptional jazz skills and often letting out his inner Dave Lombardo with speed-metal-worthy thunder." -Matthew Stabley, The DC Scene
