| The Aquabats | Started in 1994 in Huntington Beach, California and currently recording for Nitro Records. They have released four full-length studio albums and have toured internationally. They are best known for their mythology, in which they claim to be superheroes on a quest to conquer the world through music. As a part of this mythology the band members have adopted superhero pseudonyms and dress in matching costumes. Their eclectic live show often includes onstage "battles" with costumed foes, and the band has built up an elaborate and ever-changing backstory of their origins and adventures, along with a roster of allies and enemies. |

As an independent band, Reel Big Fish plan to pursue more projects, and have thus far released their own live CD/DVD set. A split EP with tour-mates Zolof the Rock & Roll Destroyer entitled "Duet All Night Long" is also due to be released on 20th February, 2007. |
