Something about Gimper, and also surprise that these bands can still fill the Ogden.

I'm really looking forward to the new Aquabats record. I decided to check out the new Reel Big Fish record too. I love that band, but rerecording those songs was totally unnecessary. The original versions were fucking perfect. I'm not buying the whole "we're better musicians now, so we wanted to rerecord them story either." The new versions seem like the energy has been sucked out. From the first track, the tempo seems slowe and the horns/drums sound almost robotic. Like you could almost hear the click track. I appreciate some of the new little subtleties that they added, but overall I'd rather just listen to the originals.

I think you mean the new The Aquabats record....

TahoeJeff (August 23, 2010)

No. I'm looking forward to that one. Did I not make it clear in my first post?

Report

Rastid (August 23, 2010)

just correcting you on the band name, as the caped commander would insist.

Report

lookingforcorpses (August 23, 2010)

The only reason they did it was because they don't own the original recordings.

Never really been that into RBF but fuck I will see the Aquabats any time, every time. The venue's a block away from my job even. Fuck year.

I MIGHT fly to Kansas City to this show. It looks like my only option.

Surprised there are no west coast dates, considering that both bands are from southern CA. I met RBF at the Warped Tour stop here in San Diego & asked when they'd be coming back through, & they said House of Blues in November. Guess that's not the case. Too bad; I'd love to see both of these bands on the same bill. Haven't seen the Aquabats in a few years...it was either at the Glasshouse in Pomona or at the last cadet summit, I don't remember.

Report

fresnoska (August 23, 2010)

I'm sure those dates are coming. No way those two bands aren't playing SoCal.

Report

Skibz777 (August 24, 2010)

Together, probably not...RBF's already playing a So Cal show right before this tour and the 'Bats would most likely promote their new album with their own headlining hometown shows (or even a Cadet Summit or two).

I sure hope so, at least: I'd hate to have to deal with Reel Big Fish fans at an Aquabats show... though the soul-crushing wave of disappointment that always washes over their little faces when they discover The Aquabats no longer have horns is something that brings so much joy to my cold, bitter heart.

Maybe they'll do something novel and different, like get some live footage of this tour and make put it out on a DVD.
