It is taking longer than expected to fetch the next song to play.
The music should be playing soon.

A zany eight-piece (or more) ska unit from the bleached-out California coast, Aquabats earned respect for an energized new wave of ska-punk from figures ranging from Courtney Love to the Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Squirrel Nut Zippers. Apparently led by vocalist Christian Jacobs ("The Bat Commander"), the group -- which impersonated a different horde of thugs from the '60s Batman series on each LP cover -- also included a host of multi-instrumentalists: James Briggs (Jaime the Robot), Courtney Pollack (the Prince of Karate), Adam Diebert (Prince Adam), Chad Larson (Crash McLarson), Travis Barker (the Baron Von Tito), Charles Grey (Ultra Kyu), and Boyd Terry (Catboy). The debut Aquabats album, Return of the Aquabats, was released on Horchata Records in mid-1996. Their sophomore album, Fury of the Aquabats, followed in 1997 on Time Bomb, and two years later the group returned with Aquabats vs. the Floating Eye of Death! When Barker left the group to join blink-182, he was replaced by drummer Dr. Rock. Myths, Legends and Other Amazing Adventures, Vol. 2 was released in fall 2000; Dr. Rock and Ultra Kyu left the group soon after. Ricky Fitness was Rock's replacement. The Serious Awesomeness! DVD, a compendium of live Aquabats, appeared in 2003; the Check Out This Ride EP followed. When Charge!! (Nitro) appeared in June 2005, it was the Aquabats' first LP in almost six years. By that point the band's official lineup included vocalist Bat Commander, bassist Crash McLarson, guitarist Chainsaw, drummer Fitness, and sax-playing keyboardist Jimmy the Robot. ~ John Bush, Rovi
Saw them at The Living Room in Santa Barbara, CA in 1999 only about 25 people there, still one of the most entertaining shows ever. Love the TV show on The HUB. Aquabats FOREVER!!!!
A lot of bands are fading their ska roots. Listen to the disocgs of NOFX and the Aquabats. Different realms, same scenarios. I won't care though. I saw these guys at Mr. Smalls in Pittsburgh and the show was amazing. They lost members but never fans.
agreed. these guys have a rad show, but i miss the days when they implemented strong ska infuences in their music :(. also in an interview MCBC stated that they dont use horns because they dont have a full horn section. (bad excuse) one horn is better than none! maybe they will shape up soon.
Not a very good bio here. They missed a ton of stuff about the early years, the side-projects and downtime activities those guys have done and the slew of line-up changes well beyond what's listed. Might be time to update this!
Bat Commander Christian Jacobs is the founder of Yo Gabba Gabba, Back when Travis was with the Band and they were playing the SoCal venues in the late 90s, you could see a lot of characters that make up some of Gabba, funny how the crossover is going great for Jacobs
Saw these guys live earlier this year. Incredible. It's like they knew all my personal favorite songs and played them all. They even played "Hello, Goodnight."

Saw their show in 1997. One of the funnest concerts I've been to. Took zany to the breaking point and the hardcore fans, Aquadets, showed how to join in.
I want Myths Legends and Other Amazing Adventures!!!!!!!!!!!!

Probably the most entertaining show that I've been to. Such a crazy and awesome band. If you like them check out Suburban Legends too. Similar goofy sound and put on a pretty exciting show.
