The Return of the Aquabats

Just got back from seeing The Aquabats at Slim's in the city with Aki and Tim. I love that band. They dress like super heros. Their front man is named MC Bat Commander. They started their show with an homage to Blade Runner. They have ads for their products in mid show. They fight masked enemies in between songs. They have a video screen with a nearly constant stream of clips from random cult/SF movies. They have catchy ska/punk tunes. MC Bat Commander describes their fans as "super rad." Basically they are one of the most entertaining bands I've ever seen. Oh, and they throw small children into the mosh pit to crowd surf. Craziness. But the best kind.
