Reel Big Fish have been at it awhile, but they haven’t lost a step (or their sense of humor). Here they are at the Warped Tour, Merriweather Post Pavilion, Columbia, MD on 7/16/2008. See all of my coverage from the Warped Tour in Columbia, MD on July 16, 2008 here.
I was able to catch up with Briggs’ guitarist Jason LaRocca to find out how the tour was going, what the reaction has been to their new album, Come All You Madmen, and what’s up next.
