ABOUT THE SHOW: Reel Big Fish was one of the legions of Southern California ska-punk bands to edge into the mainstream following the mid-'90s success of No Doubt and Sublime. Like most of their peers, the band was distinguished by their hyperkinetic stage shows, juvenile humor, ironic covers of new wave pop songs, and metallic shards of ska. The group cultivated an underground following that broke into the mainstream in summer 1997, when their single "Sell Out" became a modern rock radio and MTV favorite. Their appearance in the movie "Baseketball" as the halftime band also gained them more fans and helped the bands popularity to grow. Still fronted by original lead singer and song writer Aaron Barrett, they continue releasing albums and touring relentlessly, playing more and more countries and bigger venues all over the world.

Formed in 1985 by Genesis founding member Mike Rutherford, Mike + The Mechanics has recorded seven studio albums and enjoyed a series of hit songs with "Silent Running (On Dangerous Ground)," "All I Need Is A Miracle," "Word Of Mouth," and "Over My Shoulder." However, the #1 smash "The Living Years" from 1989 would become the largest hit of the band's career. For the upcoming tour, Rutherford will lead the current incarnation of Mike + The Mechanics, which includes vocalists Andrew Roachford and Tim Howar, keyboardist Luke Juby, guitarist/bassist Anthony Drennan, and drummer Gary Wallis. For the shows, the band will perform all of its best-known songs, as well as a selection of Genesis favorites like "I Can't Dance" and "Turn It On Again."
