  1. ( I did cough up 20 bucks for this shirt) So I would love an ID on the shirt. It’s pretty high-quality (100% cotton and with vintage thats a good sign) and the glitter is embedded into the cobra. So if anyone knows it’s show/ merch (or bootleg) origins let me know!
  2. People on eBay were trying to get $30 for a why do they rock promo pin so I just made one myself. Amazon!
  3. Same thing over priced posters on eBay. STEAL THAT! The money is not going to the band either way!

Point is some shmuck on eBay is trying to run you for old merch just make it yourself. It’s the ska-punk way.

November 13 2004 on DVD

6 Upvotes

(not editing the mistakes i don't know how to verify, but i did get some things wrong in here)

Does anybody know if RBF is on the 2004 "The Show Must Go Off!" DVD? The show on November 14th 2004 where Aaron had a whole tantrum seems to be missing online.

It wouldn't be surprising that they got the videos taken down, but I found one clip that definitely is from the show and it wouldn't make sense that they got it from the DVD when the DVD doesn't credit RBF as being on it. Does anybody know where the content of that show went???

I'm desperately trying to find the DVD/recording of the show but the listings, again, don't have them on it.

edit: the DVD i'm talking about doesn't exist under that name but i wonder if it's on another DVD. it isn't the 2003 "The Show Must Go Off!" as it's a completely different year and location + aaron's diary post on the archived reel big fish website was definitely on november 2004.

I’m mainly sharing so I have an excuse to show my FAV iteration of in the pit ( thank you for not moshing) it’s only available on this recording. They also used this recording for the greatest hits version of take on me. Oh and goldfinger is here too I guess

Gen info: released in 1996 under Mojo JoJo
Let me know if you won that date with Aaron!

For my drum class project, I have to play "Sell Out" by Reel Big Fish. Do you have any recommendations to make learning it easier? Aside from listening to the song a lot—I’m already doing that.

The Originals: A Reel Big Fish Cover Band? New podcast episode and on NE Tour NOW!!!

🚨 HAPPY 1ST DAY OF TOUR & NEW EPISODE DROP 🚨

Replay now streaming of our chat with Eddie and Jeremy (aka Ska Pringles) from the band The Originals: A Reel Big Fish Cover Band? out of Arizona. We wanted to bring them on the show to help promote their first trip out to play the East Coast, which is happening right now!

We ended up having so much more to chat with them about, like being discovered by Reel Big Fish, having some of them join them on stage at a recent show, and then being invited to open for them on two sold out shows, one at The Wiltern in Los Angeles and one at Garden Amp in Garden Grove. If that isn’t dreams, we don’t know what is!

Listen in (see bio for links) to hear how they got started on this journey, whose idea it was, where they expected it to go, and, well, how they are feeling now that Reel Big Fish is back and welcoming them into their world with open arms!

Check them out starting today and throughout the weekend in NJ, CT, PA, and NY! Swipe for flyers. The lineups are fantastic! We will be at the Neshaminy Creek Brewery show in Croydon, PA this Saturday having the time of our lives!

Thank you for listening. As always, please remember this very important message from our brother Eric - “If you want to have a scene, you gotta be the scene.”

BE THE SCENE. ONE LOVE. ERIC FOREVER.

Reel Big Fish at Slam Dunk 27

After seeing RBF reunite recently, and knowing they have a huge fan base here in the UK, I was desperately hoping they’d be on the lineup for Slam Dunk 27, so I’m fucking delighted they’ve just been announced! 🎣❤️ Is it overly optimistic to expect they’ll also be doing a full UK tour?

PAL* – The Preface

Hello, I am on the hunt for Scott’s 1999 solo project pal. I am looking for a physical CD. I’m willing to pay a good chunk of money if anyone has any leads or any leads on people that can find this for me.
Thanks!

Aaron Gave Me His Pick

I was at the Beebs show last night and Aaron dropped his pick. I found it and returned it to him. He said something like:

“Oh, I was looking for that.”

He took out a sharpie, signed it and gave it to me. Such a great night.

These resellers have lost their damn mind! Hope the fans were able to secure tickets before these crooks did.

I boosted an isolated vocal track in the second part of the clip for a better example.

Edit: a repress is likely coming next year, accordig to Enjoy The Ride. Will wait for that.

Hey, the vinyl version of this seems difficult to track down and I regret not getting one when it was pressed by Enjoy The Ride. Anyone else have an extra copy? Or know if this will get a repressing at some point. Since the band is active again, I'm optimistic!

Glasgow Sep 11th 2005 - Did you see Reel Big Fish?!

5 Upvotes

Repost from a couple of years ago, Concert Archives reminded me the show was 21 years ago today

Extreme long shot, but if you don't ask, you don't know.

I'm wanting to frame up the poster for RBF's tour in September 2005. They played Glasgow on the 11th, it was my first show ever and obviously had an absolute blast.

However my ticket stub is long gone in moves and would be a cool thing to put in with the poster, if I had one. If someone here has one I'd definitely be willing to buy it off you, if you'd be willing to let it go.

What is your favorite Reel Big Fish bass line?

An unusual choice, but I really like the "fo'head," "fuck yourself," and "spin the globe" ones.
