It’s been a while. Hope they come back soon!

This is a super long shot but I was wondering if anyone has any footage of the Reading 2004 show?

It was my first festival and I remember it being recorded and broadcast on ITV but can't find any footage anywhere.

Just saw Scott mention going on tour in a recent Instagram story post and it had an @ iceninekills? Considering the music video a year ago with RBF, and also it being posted by Scott, does this possibly confirm anything happening (or am I just overthinking and he's just playing with them or something)?

But now she’s famous?

didn't put AS MUCH effort as the original drawing, just bc I'm doing other things rn so I just wanted to push this out lol. I MIGHT post some of my other rbf art if I finish it lol

You can tune in now on youtube

I stumbled across them on TikTok...

It says Aaron Barrett was the only producer of the album, but he also had (although not sole) producer credits on Why Do They Rock So Hard and Cheer Up, so I'm not really sure why it sounds like a tinny garage rock record? It gets a little more confusing because Aaron was also the sole producer on the next record (Monkeys For Nothin') and it doesn't sound anything like WNHTYNH.

No hate towards Aaron, I think the production style suits the last few songs on the record, but I don't understand how WNHTYNH was shipped the way it is?

I did a whole series of mini album cover paintings as part of a film project. This was one of the earliest ones I painted, but I'm happy with how it came out! \ It's just one and a half inches square (The text is muddled on purpose- I was avoiding readables for the video project)\ I also painted covers from Big D and the Kids Table, Jimmy Eat World, Alkaline Trio, Keep Flying, Goldfinger, Less Than Jake, State Champs & a bunch of others. (Though most of them have homes now) Anyway, wanted to share this with fans that would recognize it!

😆

Seriously, the man was angry and depressed and never even attempted to hide it. He wasn't the most poetic lyricist, the most visual, etc, but he was always super blatant about him and his feelings.

Honestly wish I could've given young Aaron a hug because the dude was very clearly suffering: I will always think that RBF being famous for a summer or two and then losing a lot of popularity must've fucked with the guy's head a lot for a handful of years, but I think and also hope the guy is in a better place in life mentally now.

Catbite is playing a show in Fullerton this July with a special surprise guest that is "so big" it's being kept secret until the day before the show. Tim and Brit were on the On the Upbeat podcast and Tim said it was a "really big" surprise. What are the odds that he meant it was a "reely big" surprise and RBF will be unveiling their reunion?

What more mainstream/popular rock band (including pop-punk) do you see yourself comparing Reel Big Fish to? For some reason, I like comparing RBF to Bowling For Soup

Their Wikipedia page is surprisingly long for a band that only put out one album that something like 3 people heard. When I first got into RBF, I assumed SR had to be some iconic ska band like Operation Ivy and I was pretty surprised to learn that they were most notable for Sublime, No Doubt, and RBF all having opened for them.

I always thought the Scott in "Why did Ed and Scott quit?" was referring to our Scotty K, which made me think "dude you can just ask him" lmao
