REEL BIG FISH IN CONCERT:
For more than two decades, California ska punk favorites Reel Big Fish have had audiences moving, shaking, and skanking up a storm with their upbeat tunes and fun-loving live shows. The band's adrenaline-filled take on traditional ska always whips fans into a frenzy, and frontman Aaron Barrett feeds off the crowd's energy as he performs catchy favorites like "Sell Out" and "Monkey Man". From Barrett's zany style and the band's brass-heavy sound to the friendly moshpit in the crowd, Reel Big Fish deliver an unforgettable concert experience fans of high-energy ska punk won't want to miss.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Reel Big Fish formed in Huntington Beach, CA in 1991 and quickly achieved popularity as part of the third wave ska movement that took the US by storm in the early '90s. After several years of playing local shows the band self-released their 1995 debut album Everything Sucks. Fans and critics embraced the album wholeheartedly, and before long the band had signed to Mojo Records. They released their sophomore album Turn the Radio Off in 1996 and scored their first hit with the single "Sell Out", an insanely catchy tune that received heavy airplay on MTV and stayed on the Billboard charts for a whopping 32 weeks. The band underwent various lineup changes in the '00s, but frontman Aaron Barrett remained a constant, leading the band on several tours during the decade including the 2008 Vans Warped Tour. In 2014 the band thrilled fans with not one release but two -- their ninth full length Bloody Street and an EP of holiday tunes titled Happy Skalidays.
Reel big fish was good. They played the good classics Streelight was amazing! What an amazing energy, not only from Kalnoky but every single member of the band. You can tell they love what they do. This is one band everyone has to see live
This show was absolutly unforgetable. RBF & STM are surely making a wonderul team work for their shows !!
The bands were all top notch. They all put on an excellent show I won't soon forget! The venue itself was dingy tho, a bad area of town, overpriced beer and a dirty room. The Bands made it worth it though for sure!
Basically the best night of my life. They played my song, she has a girlfriend now.
There were five of us that went -- my daughter's birthday. All three bands were awesome. Had a lot of fun. The music was so upbeat and happy! We've seen Reel Big Fish there before and they were just as good this time The English Beat were awesome -- played like a band who enjoys their music and have been together for a long time. That positive energy really came through.
excilent show. good energy lots of fun. qqqqqqqqqq
Went with a friend who was a English Beat fan. Now I'm a new fan of Reel Big Fish. It's been a while since I've ventured into a mosh pit, but this new fashion, skinheads skipping in a circle is mildly disturbing in a Lord of the Flies type way. Piggy where is the conch?
The concert was amazing!!! The opening band Super Villains were awesome!! The English Beat are amazing and Reel Big Fish rocked the house!!! The sound was amazing, the bands were amazing, and the venue was cool! I highly recommend these bands to everyone!!!!! If you get a chance check them out!!!
The English Beat: Amazing. I was too young to see them 1st time around but they took it back to the old school with some tropical flair. Reel Big Fish: I sang, I danced, I skanked and I would have expected nothing less for everyone else. The crowd was into it and that made the experience.
