About
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.

Paramount Huntington New York
by Reel Big Fish on 3/9/20The Paramount - HuntingtonRating: 5 out of 5These guys always put on a great show!! I see them every chance I get
Best Live Band!!
by LauCPT on 3/9/20The Paramount - HuntingtonRating: 5 out of 5I see RBF every time they’re at the Paramount or NYC. They never disappoint. We had a great time. They played a lot of classics and have so much fun it’s hard not to have a great time!
best show of the year!!
by spudboy on 3/9/20The Paramount - HuntingtonRating: 5 out of 5This was the best show of the year! They played every song I love. They were totally entertaining and I could even hear all the words to the songs! This was the first time I have seen them in concert. I was a big fan before and I am an even bigger fan now!! I give the show 5 stars!!
Horrible venue
by BSR on 3/4/20Rebar - State CollegeRating: 2 out of 5Great bands, terrible venue. Basically bought tickets, drove 2 hrs to watch show on TV as no sight lines to the stage. Will never go back
10 out of 10. Would ska again!
by Cristina on 3/4/20Rebar - State CollegeRating: 5 out of 5The venue was way clean for a bar and the staff was great. All the bands were great and the energry was way positive. I hope they all come back to State College again! Ska's not dead! :)
Great show... as always
by Reviewy Reviewerson on 3/4/20Rebar - State CollegeRating: 4 out of 5Rbf kills it every time. Have never been to one of their shows and not had a blast. This venue on the other hand was probably the worst I’ve ever been too. Very cramped and hard to see the stage unless you’re in front on the balcony or in the pit. The drinks cost more than anywhere else I’ve ever been... At almost $8 a piece with what tasted like less than a full shot in my mix drink. We will still go back though if rbf plays there again because they’re worth it.
Bands were great, venue not so much
by JJ83 on 3/4/20Rebar - State CollegeRating: 2 out of 5Literally I can't even compare this to any venue I've ever been--it was chaos. No one knew what they were doing...no one even scanned our tickets; the bartenders didn't know how to use the register, people were literally smashed into the place, on stairs, everywhere, you couldn't move--if there had been an emergency, we would have been screwed--you couldn't possibly get to the bathroom or anywhere. People were going in and out and in and out with no one stopping them or checking their tickets. I understand it's under new ownership, however they own another venue so you would think they would have it down by now.
House of blues is a great place to see any show.
by Gorilla on 11/2/19House of Blues Anaheim presented by Cricket Wireless - AnaheimRating: 5 out of 5Small venue , great sound , ,amazing lighting. I always have a great time there. Reel big fish had the crowd jump and the house was rocking
