Aren't Aquabats a mormon band or something?
Ska, not mormon.

Faux addendum: actually, they're a kid-friendly band. Super fun.
It’s hilarious how big they are amongst nerdy people like 15 years younger than me. For years I had no idea they had a tv show.

You might be confusing them with Gwar.

I swear, I confuse something with GWAR on a daily basis.

Id be down with half of them. Fuck those two headliners though. Never heard Save Ferris alwsys hated the name and left it at that. Goldfinger as I recall were underwhelming. TMMB, Fishbone, Aquabats and Hepcat though should be a good time though.

Saw them play at the most 90s concert ever. They were a lot of fun and I think Travis Barker was still in the band at the time.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Never seen this before but the YouTube algorithm seemed to think I should:


Y'know, I'd never think of "Savory" as one of the better songs of the 90s, but when I hear it, dang, it's solid as marble.

Me too. Even tho they represent the sell-out/collapse of the DC scene in the early 90s, well, this ain't your daddy's sell-out.
