A number of updates from the Reel Big Fish camp; after a tour spent touring abroad, frontman Aaron Barrett and bassist Matt Wong both (separately) got married. The Forces of Evil's John Christianson recently took over Tyler Jones' trumpet duties both in studio and on the road. They are in the process of completing their Jive Records follow-up to Cheer Up!, which should be out in Spring 2005. Upon completion of the recording, the band will be headed out on "The Beast Feast" tour, with Melee and The Littlest Man Band.

Reel Big Fish will spend the holidays working on their other side projects including Aaron's Forces of Evil, who will continue recording their second release for Jive Records.
