Reel Big Fish on tour in support of new effort

OC'S original skanking pranksters Reel Big Fish have just released their latest, a 10 song serving of high-energy covers dubbed, Fame, Fortune and Fornication.

The new album features the band’s signature ska take on such classics as Poison's "Talk Dirty To Me", Tom Petty's "I Won't Back Down", John Mellencamp's "Authority Song", and The Eagles "The Long Run." For good measure, Reel Big Fish pay tribute to their early ska/reggae forefathers with versions of Desmond Dekker's "Keep A Cool Head" and Toots and The Maytals "Monkey Man."

The album (which is also available in limited, special edition vinyl) was produced by front man Aaron Barrett and recorded at Music Inc. Studios in Orange, CA.

The release of Fame, Fortune and Fornication coincides with the band’s latest world tour. The trek, underway now, has taken Reel Big Fish across the US and later this month, over to the UK, Europe and Russia.
