Possible stage fright. I can't look at people when I play for my friends and family so I end of staring at the guitar the whole time. I'd probably do that too if I was ever up on stage.

IGN: And if you feel it was a success, might we see more ska tracks as DLC in the future?

Brosious: Yep. Hit me with some suggestions.

Harmonix posted:

IGN: Not to harp on it, but why the Bosstones? Was there ever a consideration for a 2 Tone ska song like The Specials' "Gangsters" or English Beat's "Mirror in the Bathroom"?

Brosious: Oh. Yeah, and we'll get to them. Being from Boston, we went with The Bosstones this time.

Hell yea! Door opened for ska in RB.

In their wiki it says something about them calling themselves The English Beat in America as not to be confused with a band called Beat. Or maybe I'm full of poo poo.

Hell yea, new RBF album!

RBF posted:

OC'S original skanking pranksters Reel Big Fish have finished mixing and mastering the tracks that will make up their new album, a 10 song serving of high-energy covers which they've dubbed, Fame, Fortune and Fornication.

The release is set to include the band's signature ska take on such classics as Poison's "Talk Dirty To Me" and The Eagles "The Long Run."

For good measure, Reel Big Fish pay tribute to their early ska/reggae forefather's with versions of Desmond Dekker's "Keep A Cool Head"

The album (which will also be available in limited special edition vinyl) was produced by front man Aaron Barret and recorded at Music Inc. Studios in Orange, CA.


Set to drop in January 2009 via Rock Ridge Music, the release of Fame, Fortune and Fornication will coincide with the launch of a major world tour with Streetlight Manifesto and up-and-comer's One Pin Short and Tip The Van. The trek will take the band across the US and over to the UK, Europe and Russia. Later this month Reel Big Fish heads over to Latin American for a string of shows in Brazil, Ar gentina, Chile and Mexico.

If I may say, this is the best thing ever. RBF, Streetlight Manifesto, One Pin Short, and Tip the Van on tour together. gently caress yes.

I like RBF because even when they make generic songs, you know that just want to have fun and isn't that really what ska is all about? I thought Monkeys wasn't that great of an album but it's apparent that they were starting to have more fun again and I'm cool with that :unsmith:

That's the main reason I love Reel Big Fish. They all seem to love what they're doing no matter what they do.

Don't know if this counts but Sublime is reuniting.

MTV posted:



Nearly four months ago, rumors began swirling that Sublime — the celebrated Long Beach ska/punk misfits who achieved fame after the death of lead singer Bradley Nowell in 1996 — were contemplating a full-fledged reunion with a mysterious "unknown singer and guitarist" filling Nowell's spot. Well, over the weekend, at a Mexican restaurant in Sparks, Nevada, that reunion officially happened.

Of course, that sort of depends on your definition of "reunion".

On Saturday, Del Mar, a punk act featuring former Sublime drummer Bud Gaugh, took the stage at the Cantina Los Tres Hombres, a Sparks restaurant/bar (try the Burritos Grandes). After finishing the set, Gaugh then took the stage again, joined by Sublime bassist Eric Wilson and a Southern California singer by the name of Rome and began playing Sublime songs (check out a photo of the set list here), even reportedly testing out at least one new song.

The audience went crazy (here's a clip). After all, since calling it quits in '96, Sublime have had a string of hits (most notably "What I Got" and "Santeria"), sold more than 17 million albums worldwide and inspired a cottage industry of tribute acts, including Providence, Rhode Island's Badfish. But does the Cantina gig mean that Sublime are back in business? Well, according to Del Mar, the answer is "yes".

"So, Del Mar played the gig at Cantina last night ... it was packed and amazing. What really f---ing killed it was Sublime reuniting and playing with new singer, Rome," the band wrote on its MySpace page. "We're f---ing stoked for Bud, Eric and Rome ... Bud's still playing with Del Mar, and Sublime doesn't have any firm tour plans or anything Yet, but we'll keep you posted on their progress."

That post set off a flurry of message-board activity, most of it centered on the question of whether a Sublime without Nowell actually counts as Sublime at all. "Sorry, but it's not Sublime without Brad Nowell," one PunkDisasters.com poster wrote. "That's like saying Nirvana reunited last night." Fans also wonder if this so-called reunion is just another incarnation of the Long Beach Dub Allstars, the group Gaugh and Wilson formed following Nowell's death of a heroin overdose in 1996.

And while the debate may rage, according to one person who was at the Cantina show, what he saw was very much the reincarnation of Sublime.

"They sure sounded like Sublime. It was incredible," Thad Peterson, the booker for the Cantina, told MTV News yesterday (March 2). "It was an all-around incredible show. The band was tight, and they sounded great."

Anyone who didn't catch the acoustic versions of Dear Sergio, Forty Days, and Somewhere in the Between on AP Radio, I ripped just the songs. Since AP is a free show, would it be ok if I uploaded them and put the link up?

I don't think you can buy it anymore, but if you "look around" you can grab 7 songs of their "From Downtown" album.

I'm going to keep saying Streetlight is so much better if you can catch them at a smaller venue

Or even a largish one that's not Warped

Penny Arcade kicked rear end

I'll be able to either dispute this or second it after the 15th.

I was at a show in Buffalo with Dan Potthast, Zox, and Streetlight.

Only around 40 or so people knew who Dan was then after Zox, about 3/4ths of the crowd went to the bar and the 30 people who were there came up. It was the most amazing show I've ever been too. Everyone who was on the floor in front of the stage sang along with every song.

I still love Linoleum, but I've heard that live a bunch. But Such Great Heights is really good, and I don't really like the original.

Kinda wish they would have done OCG - Xample, but I think everyone that was in OCG is gone now. Haven't heard that since the '05 tour :/

Oh man, if they did Xample or Bill Kozby it would make my life.

Also, they should cover some Suburban Rhythm songs. I would love to hear Kalnoky sing Lust, 18 Inch Ruler, My Sister Sam, or Gameshow.

In that case someone needs to make a non jesus cover of it :colbert:


You're in luck! With all this Streetlight talk... here's a badly sung, badly played cover called "Thomas Is a Friend of Mine". Enjoy?



Lyrics posted:

Thomas is a friend of mine
Thomas is a friend of mine
Thomas is a friend of mine
Thomas is a friend of mine

He writes awesome songs and lives life as it should be
And he plays awesome shows for people like me
I've had friends before, and I can tell you that
He's one that'll never leave you flat!

REPEAT CHORUS!

He hates suicide, because he knows how to love his life
He taught me how to rob a bank, and how to wreck my bike
The music may sound different, but the message isn't to blame
It's just my instrumental to lovin' his game

REPEAT CHORUS!

He loves animals, and hates pollution
But you know, he'll always believe in evolution
I don't know his thoughts on religion
But on his newest album he don't seem to like it much!

REPEAT CHORUS!

I'll probably redo it later so I can sing it better/get the timing down. But :effort:
