SUMMARY:Reel Big Fish with The English Beat\, The Supervillains
DESCRIPTION: Ages: All Ages Reel Big FishAfter more than 15 years of c
	onveying negative vibes\, warning listeners about the dangers of being
	 in a band and lamenting their time in the music industry (case in poi
	nt: the band's radio hit\, "Sell Out")\, the members of Southern Calif
	ornia ska-punk stalwarts Reel Big Fish want to let the world know of a
	 big change: They're finally happy. Some of that happiness stems from 
	being released from their former label's contract. "We're very happy t
	o be off the major label because they didn't understand us\," says fro
	nt man Aaron Barrett. "They didn't know what to call us\, how to marke
	t us or who to market us to. They are used to pre-packaged pop and rad
	io-ready rock and I think we were just too weird for them to comprehen
	d. So eventually they just ended up doing nothing." Freed from such ob
	ligations\, Reel Big Fish is finally releasing its first independent s
	tudio album since leaving its former label. The self-produced Monkeys 
	For Nothin' And The Chimps For Free finds the members of Reel Big Fish
	 doing things their way. In fact\, it features material done their way
	\, from quite a long ways back. Constantly road-bound\, Reel Big Fish 
	squeezed three weeks between tour dates to write\, rehearse and record
	 19 songs at Music Inc. Studios in Orange County. Late night tracking 
	sessions ensued\, with some band members only hearing the songs two or
	 three times before actually recording them. However\, despite the see
	mingly rushed production schedule\, Barrett\, who also served as produ
	cer\, insists that the band's latest was probably one of the easiest a
	lbums he's ever created. So\, what exactly is featured on the band's l
	atest? Expect weirder and sillier and even a little something that's m
	issing. "Actually\, this album doesn't really have any talk about bein
	g in a band\," Barrett says\, noting that there's just a little mentio
	n in one song. "There's not a lot of complaining and bitching. It's a 
	lot more fun and funny." Monkeys For Nothin' And The Chimps For Free c
	overs classic Reel Big Fish fare\, including random gibberish\, love s
	ongs\, hate songs and even songs about girlfriends (even though the ba
	nd members are all married now) and drinking. "It's everything you eve
	r wanted\, needed and never expected from Reel Big Fish\," notes Barre
	tt. "The best thing about us now is that we're not trying so hard. We'
	re just having fun making music\," says Barrett. "I think everybody is
	 in a good place now and we're a better band. We're happy!"
