In the midst of touring the UK, Faye recently caught up with ska legends Reel Big Fish as they stopped by in Newcastle, they got talking about a whole lot of ska, their forthcoming 20-year anniversary, and the possibility of a Reel Big Fish arena tour! Seriously…
Faye: Can you introduce yourselves?
Derek: I’m Derek, I play bass in the Reel Big Fish.
Johnny: And I am Johnny Christmas, and I play the trumpet the Reel Big Fish.
Faye: So, how are you today in Newcastle?
Johnny: We’re good, we saw a castle, I’m not sure if it was the ‘Newcastle’, but it was a castle.
Derek: It looked pretty old to me.
Johnny: Yeah, and we saw the self-cleaning bridge.
Faye: Can you tell us a bit about the bands on this tour?
Johnny: Ooh, Sonic Boom Six, a fabulous Manchester band, part hip-hop, part ska, part punk rock, they do it all.
Derek: And Big D and the Kids Table, from the east coast of the US, representing that part of the country.
Johnny [mimicking a Boston accent]: From Boston, down by the harbour! This is the first tour we’ve done with them, we’ve played together with them, I know, at some point, but this is the first tour with them, and they’re a bunch of sweet guys and gals.
