Tonight: Reel Big Fish and Streetlight Manifesto



Break out the suspenders and the fedora, as tonight ska all-stars Reel Big Fish and Streetlight Manifesto bring their horn laced punk rock stylings to Niagara Falls' Rapids Theater. Reel Big Fish is currently on their 20th anniversary tour, and for the first time, will play Buffalo without long time trumpet player Scott Klopfenstein. Klopfenstein retired from the band this past January to raise his newborn child, as former bass player Matt Wong did several years earlier. Singer Aaron Barrett is the only original member left in the ever changing RBF, which now features for the first time since 1995, a saxophone player. Barrett, along with Streetlight Manifesto frontman Tomas Kalonky, has become one of the faces ska. Kolonky, former singer / guitarist for the band Catch 22, formed Streetlight Manifesto in 2002 when the rift between him and his old band became irreconcilable. Eventually, Kolonky took back the songs he wrote, and Streetlight re-released Catch 22's album Keansby Nights. The band is just finishing up a new album, and have remarked that this album will include more world musical influences, including eastern European and Gypsy music. This show will be much more than skankin' and checkerboards, so make the trek up to the Falls tonight. Stuff gets started around 6pm, and tickets are $25 at the door.
