Rams Head The Blog

Today a group of lucky WRNR radio winners enjoyed a special afternoon private artist showcase (presented by Mini of Annapolis) with the Detroit band, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr aka Josh Epstein and Daniel Zott at the Rams Head On Stage. Don’t get them confused with the race car driver, Dale Earnhardt Jr. (so they joked about on stage). With only starting the band in 2009, they have already played large festivals aka Lollapalooza and have been touring none stop. So, it was great to catch a few songs before they get back onto the road and head north to Boston, MA.

Mama, Daddy, Baby Sis. Tell your cousins all about this! The popular ska punk band , Reel Big Fish is ready to party down this Monday, November  28th at the Rams Head Live. But, before they start party hardy hardy hardy hardy! We asked Aaron Barrett the singer of RBF a few questions.

Q: You guys have played in Baltimore and specifically at Rams Head Live quite a few times. Do you have any particular Baltimore or Rams Head memories? A: (AARON B)  We love playing in Baltimore, especially at Rams Head Live! the venue is amazing and has a luxurious backstage and an awesome sound system and the audience is always incredibly energetic and loud! We were amazed last time to see that the whole crowd knew the words to EVERY song, even the weird, obscure ones! Monday is going to be a great night!                              

Q: Your band has been around, in one shape or another, for the past 15 or so years. How do you keep it new for yourself and for your fans? A: (AARON B) We just love what we do, we love to play music in front of people and i think the crowd sees how much fun we’re having and can’t help but join in the fun! We also always try to play all the songs of ours that we know people love and that’s something that’s always puzzled us about a lot of bands, once a song of theirs gets popular or they find out that people really like a certain song they will stop playing it! i figure If you do happen to get popular in one way or another and are able to actually get people to pay to come see you play then respect those people and give them something they can enjoy too. Don’t be an asshole and refuse to play the songs they like, you’re lucky those people are there to see you!

Q: The last couple Reel Big Fish releases have been covers, re-recordings  or live releases. Are there any plans for new music? A: (AARON B)  Yes, definitely! I’ve been working on some new songs and hopefully we can get into the studio this coming January before we leave for our Europe tour.

Q: What would “Reel Big Fish: The Movie” be like? Who would play you guys? A: (AARON B) I would hope that it would be a wacky comedy like “Three Amigos” or “Pee Wee’s Big Adventure“and i would hope that the cast would include Will Ferrel, John C Reilley, Alec Baldwin and Russel Brand

Q: You have great hair and sideburns. Any tips for our readers? A: (AARON B) It takes years and years of practice and experimenting to perfect such hair styles. good luck!

Q: Who takes the brunt of the jokes: the rhythm section or the horn section? A: (AARON B) We direct all of our mean spirited, humiliating, degrading jokes at our drummer Ryland

Q: What is your favorite bad joke? A: (AARON B) Wanna hear the joke about the broken pencil? Never mind, it has no point.

Q: What are some of the worst band names you’ve ever heard? A:(AARON B) I think “Reel Big Fish” is a terrible band name, but it sounded good when we were 16. at least it’s better than “Maroon 5″. haha There was a band that was playing in all the same clubs as us on our first full US tour in 1996 that was called “the Impotent Sea Snakes” , i never saw them play but i always though it was a pretty amazing/ terrible band name.

Q: Have you ever heard any phrase more than “Play “Beer” “ ? A:(AARON B)  Yes, on Facebook we hear the phrase “You guys are assholes because you’re not playing MY town on THIS tour…”much, much more often. people just don’t understand that we can only play EVERYWHERE in the world maybe ONCE a year!! We try! but yes, we do hear “PLAY BEER” at EVERY show and it must be very annoying to whoever is around the person that’s yelling. especially since most of our fans know that we ALWAYS play the song “Beer” at EVERY show!

Q: What can fans that have never been to a Reel Big Fish show expect? A: (AARON B) A non-stop roller-coaster ride of thrills, excitement, entertainment, great music and fun fun fun! 

So, with all these juicy questions and answers…. you DON’T want to miss this show.  The Reel Big Fish is like a non-stop roller-coaster ride of thrills, excitement, entertainment, great music and fun fun fun!! So, grab a ticket or 10 , put on your silly hat and head to Rams Head Live before the show Sells Outs!!

St. Vincent WRNR Private Artist Showcase Rams Head On Stage

This is a rocking’ week at the Rams Head On Stage! Day two of the WRNR 103.1 private artist showcase (presented by Mini of Annapolis) we welcomed the psychedelic rock band, Portugal. The Man. The lunchtime performance was a stop before they head over to their sold out show at the 930 club in D.C.

The band walked around before the show and talked to their fans, and once the show started the audience was glued to their unique sound and funny jokes. The band rocked out for an hour, performing songs from their new album, “In the Mountain in the Cloud” along with random request from the audience, like “1989″ from the “Censored Colors” album. Portugal. The Man also made their second appearance at the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival 10th year anniversary in June 2011, as well as Lollapalooza in August. So, it was a great afternoon treat for them to perform here in Annapolis. And, if you haven’t check them out before, take a listen from the video and go see them in concert next time in town!
