Reel Big Fish Interview!!

Me: How did you guys all form together?

RBF: Well, it’s been years in the making, some sort of process.

Me: How did you guys meet each other though?

RBF: I knew this guy in high school. He played trombone.

Me: Did you play together in a band in high school?

RBF: Yeah, we played in marching band.
We starting playing rock music together, too. For fun, in a bedroom and a friend of ours played drums.

Me: So, how did you name the band?
RBF: Well, the band name, its not a very exciting story, but the band name originated from the guys who first started the band. Aaron barrett, Matt wong, the two founding members. They wanted to call the band The Fisher Kings because there was a movie called the fisher king with Robert Williams, Jeff bridges.

That dreamy jeff bridges!

But they had made a demo, the very first demo for the band was called Reel Big Fish. And the more demos that started circulating around orange county, people just thought that was the name of the band, so they kind of got stuck with the name. and…

Its worked out okay!

And so here we are...

Its much better than the fisher kings!

So the name was a happy accident....

Watch the rest of the interview here. There are even some inherently awkward moments that make the interview just that much more interesting! So, check it out!!!!!
