| Ska legends Reel Big Fish | | (As published for Bournemouth Daily Echo)
CALIFORNIAN ska legends Reel Big Fish took Southampton by storm. The
six-piece opened with Trendy, celebrating the ska way of life, and
performed outstanding covers of Poison's Nothin' But a Good Time and
A-Ha's Take On Me.
Front man Aaron Barrett revelled in the crowd's attention - he and the
band took it upon themselves to teach the audience how to do "the ska
dance", and closed with an encore of top hit Sell Out.
At a time when the music industry seems almost dominated by dark,
sombre songs, Reel Big Fish are shining the light of fun and enthusiasm.
