Reel Big Fish Keep Swimming
Reel Big Fish may be the hardest working hold-outs of the third-wave ska revival of the ’90s. To some, they’re nostalgic; to others, they are soldiers. This Southern California band has ridden the rails of ska-punk long after many of it’s progenitors have disembarked.
Reel Big Fish soldier on this summer in support of their newest album, We’re Not Happy Til You’re Not Happy. Joining them on this tour of the U.S. will be American Hi-Fi, El Pus, Punchline, and Zolof the Rock & Roll Destroyer.
They are currently touring the U.K., but will begin their stateside tour on June 22 with a show in Worcester, Mass.
Dates in New England will continue July 6, where they will be playing The Odeon in Cleveland. From there, they will move Southward, playing major cities in Florida, South Carolina, Georgia, and Louisiana.
The band will eventually work their way west, reaching California on July 22, with a show in Anaheim, Calif. They trek as far North as Seattle, then head back East, with the last scheduled date in Milwaukee on August 12.
More U.S. shows are on the way but don’t expect them for September; Reel Big Fish spend that month back in the U.K.
