Reel Big Fish, voted Southern California’s best-looking and most radical band of cool dudes in a recent nationwide poll (OK we made that up…) releases a new full length DVD this summer, titled, appropriately enough, Reel Big Fish Live! In Concert! Reel Big Fish Live! In Concert! is available today, July 21 on Rock Ridge Music for a very fan-friendly price.
The live concert DVD was filmed before a sold-out, hometown crowd at the Grove of Anaheim this past January and features 20 classic Reel Big Fish songs, as well as all of the hilarious in-between-song-banter-and-shenanigans that fans have come to expect.
Reel Big Fish has also lined up another killer summer tour for ‘09. The veteran ska-rock outfit is currently hitting cities across America with 2-Tone legends The English Beat and Orlando, FL-based reggae/ska punks The Supervillains.
Reel Big Fish front man Aaron Barrett says the band is amped to be touring with one of its musical idols. Barrett explains, “We are so excited to be playing with one of our favorite bands of all time and one of the biggest influences on our music! We LOVE the English Beat. This tour is a dream come true for us!”
The English Beat front man Dave Wakeling responds, “I was thrilled many years ago to be invited to play at Reel Big Fish’s first album release party, and we are thrilled again to be touring with them now that they are bona fide Skadfathers!”
The trek kicked off July 3rd in Royal Oak, MI. More dates are being confirmed daily and will be posted on www.myspace.com/reelbigfish
Formed in the suburban garages of Orange County, CA in the early 90’s, Reel Big Fish has gone on to release 6 full-length studio releases, headline countless tours in North America (as well as Europe, Asia and Latin America) and amass combined sales of over a million albums. In other words: these guys are sort of a big deal.
Reel Big Fish’s latest album, a compilation of cover songs entitled, Fame, Fortune, and Fornication is out now on Rock Ridge Music.
Here’s a sneak preview of their hit “Sell Out” from the DVD!

Tori Amos descended on the scene in the early ‘90s brimming with newfound creativity, intelligence, sensitivity and an exacting literary bearing. Celebrated by critics and the public alike, that first spotlight was a heady time in the young singer/songwriter’s career. On September 30, 2008, Eagle Rock Entertainment, through its wholly-owned Eagle Eye Media subsidiary, will release Tori Amos Live At Montreux 1991/1992 on both CD (16 songs) and DVD (90 minutes, 19 songs) simultaneously sold separately. It is a rare glimpse into that initial breathy rush of a great artist’s ascendancy.
The ’91 gig came only months before her Little Earthquakes debut had catapulted her into an instant icon, the ’92 appearance shortly thereafter. The progression in both performance and audience receptivity is appreciable. Material includes most of her stellar debut but also tracks from her indie EPs and some notable covers (Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love” and “Thank You” as well as Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit”).
Tori Amos’ stark confessional style immediately garnered millions of young fans searching for some semblance of self in an all too imperfect world. Tori’s melodic sense, coupled with her unerring eye for the human foibles of a generation twice removed from the ‘60s sensibilities of her influences, made for a uniquely special art. There was no, and is no, precedent for such a talent. Tori’s obliquely personal oeuvre digs down deep into such dramatic lyrical topics as sexuality, religion and personal tragedy. She touches that universal chord. It’s small wonder she became a major voice right from the outset of her career.

Columbia Records will release “Back Country,” the first official live concert recording from the platinum certified and Grammy nominated singer/songwriter John Ondrasik and his band Five For Fighting, on Tuesday, November 6.
“Back Country” — the first new release from Five For Fighting since the group’s last album, “Two Lights,” entered the Billboard Top 200 at #8 in August 2006 — will be available in three physical configurations: a DVD, an audio CD, and a deluxe CD/DVD combination pack.
Recorded live in concert in Orlando, “Back Country” is a showcase of definitive performances of classic songs and personal favorites from the Five For Fighting catalog including “100 Years,” “Freedom Never Cries,” “Superman,” “Two Lights,” “The Riddle” and many more.
A compelling selection of bonus material on the “Back Country” DVD includes films from participating charities on John’s groundbreaking website, “What Kind Of World Do You Want?” (WhatKindOfWorldDoYouWant.com), as well as John’s unforgettable performance of “Superman” (from 2001’s “The Concert For New York City” benefit) and an interview with the Vietnam veteran whose concern for his Iraq-bound son inspired the Five For Fighting song, “Two Lights.”
Song included on “Back Country”: “Freedom Never Cries,” “World,” “California Justice,” “The Riddle,” “‘65 Mustang,” “NYC Weather Report,” “Two Lights,” “I Just Love You,” “God Made You,” “Easy Tonight,” “Superman,” “100 Years,” “Nobody,” “Road To Heaven,” and “Policeman’s Christmas Party.”
Music videos included on “Back Country” DVD: “Superman,” “Easy Tonight,” “100 Years,” “The Devil In The Wishing Well,” “The Riddle,” and “World.”
Bonus material included on “Back Country” DVD: “Autism Speaks” video, “Augie’s Quest” charity video, “Caring Kids” video (Save The Children), “Fisher House” video, “Superman” from “The Concert For New York City”; interview with the father who inspired “Two Lights”; and behind-the-scenes “making of ” footage of Five For Fighting on set and in the studio,
The brainchild of singer-songwriter-performer John Ondrasik, Five for Fighting signed with Columbia Records in 2000, releasing the platinum-certified album, “America Town” in September of that year. “America Town” premiered two of Five For Fighting’s signature tracks: the international hit, “Easy Tonight” and the Grammy-nominated “Superman (It’s Not Easy),” a song offering solace and comfort which became an American anthem following the attacks of September 11, 2001.
The next Five For Fighting album, 2004’s “The Battle For Everything” introduced “100 Years,” an Ondrasik-penned metaphysical rumination which found its way into America’s musical scrapbook and continues to be a source of inspiration and reflection.
Five For Fighting’s “Two Lights,” released in August 2006, became Ondrasik’s first Top 10 album and debuted the artist’s third Top 5 Adult single, “The Riddle.” To John’s delight, the album’s second single, “World,” was used in the HBO promotional video preceding the final four episodes of “The Sopranos.”
In February 2007, after receiving hundreds of unsolicited homemade videos for his hit singles “Superman (It’s Not Easy)” and “100 Years,” John Ondrasik launched “What Kind Of World Do You Want?,” a pioneering website allowing visitors to the site to make a charitable donation in two ways: by posting a homemade video for the song, “World,” or by watching videos made and uploaded by others. Participating charities include Fisher House, Save The Children, Autism Speaks, and Augie’s Quest. For more information, please visit WhatKindOfWorldDoYouWant.com.

Nearly 14 years to the day of the filming of Nirvana’s landmark “MTV Unplugged” performance, that raw, revealing and emotionally gripping acoustic concert previously seen only on television will be available for the first time on DVD. Unplugged In New York (Geffen/MTV Networks/UMe) will be released on November 20, 2007 and will feature the complete, unedited 66-minute concert including “Something In The Way” and “Oh Me” not aired during the original 44-minute broadcast. Unplugged In New York also includes five previously unreleased rehearsal performances and MTV News interviews with the band and audience members.
Filmed November 18, 1993 at Sony Music Studios, the show first aired on MTV on December 14, 1993; just four months before the untimely passing of Kurt Cobain. Unplugged In New York DVD is now presented in both Dolby Stereo and 5.1 Surround Sound and includes both the shorter original broadcast version, and Nirvana’s entire unedited performance. When released on CD in November 1994, MTV Unplugged In New York debuted #1, won the Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album in 1996 and was quickly certified five times platinum.
