Brings back memories...

Alternative Press reports that Reel Big Fish and Less than Jake will be co-headlining a summer North American tour and they will be coming to Quebec!....Quebec City that is....on July 8th 2007 for the Festival d'Été de Québec. Against All Authority and Streetlight Manifesto will be along for the ride too.

It's really been too damn long since I've listened to any RBF or LTJ, mostly because I've sorta outgrown my ska phase over the years. I fondly remember the last time I saw Reel Big Fish in concert, which was probably about 6 years ago, in Quebec City no less! Man those were the days...hundreds of sweaty adolescents in NOFX and No Use T-shirts skanking their collective asses off without a care in the world. Pure bliss.

I not so fondly remember that the opening band for RBF at the time was none other than our favorite pop-punk Canadian exports, Simple Plan. I never quite understood how they became popular actually, although smart money's on a pact with the Devil (does anyone have a better answer?) Back then, they were just starting out, so they were even worse than they are now...if that's humanly possible. In retrospect, I should've just shoved metal forks in my ears right then and there while I still had the chance.

You know what? I might just go check it out, for old time's sake.
