|||
==Demographics== |
|||
'''The Aquabats''' (often written as '''The Aquabats!''') are an [[United States|American]] [[Rock music|rock]] band formed in 1994 in [[Huntington Beach, California]] and currently recording for [[Nitro Records]]. They have released four full-length studio albums and have toured internationally. They are best known for their [[mythology]], in which they claim to be [[superhero]]es on a quest to save the world from evil through music. As a part of this mythology the band members have adopted superhero [[pseudonym]]s and dress in matching costumes. Their eclectic live show often includes onstage "battles" with costumed foes, and the band has built up an elaborate and ever-changing backstory of their origins and adventures, along with a roster of allies and enemies. |
|||

The group's lineup has fluctuated significantly throughout their career, with founding members [[Christian Jacobs|The MC Bat Commander]] and [[Chad Larson|Crash McLarson]] as regular fixtures. [[James Briggs (musician)|Jimmy the Robot]] has also remained a longtime member, having joined the band in 1997. The Aquabats' early work was heavily rooted in the [[third wave ska|third wave]] of [[ska]] music, with touches of [[surf rock|surf]] and [[punk rock]]. Over the years their music shifted towards more [[synthesizer]]-based rock with a [[New Wave music|new wave]] influence. Their current style blends elements of [[rock and roll]], [[pop-punk]], ska, and [[synthpop]]. |

==History== |
|||
===1994-1996: Formation=== |
|||
The Aquabats formed in 1994 in [[Huntington Beach, California]]. The band's original recording lineup consisted of [[Christian Jacobs]] (the Caped Commander) on vocals, [[Courtney Pollock]] (Chainsaw) and [[Ben Bergeson]] (Ben the Brain) on [[guitar]]s, [[Chad Larson]] (Crash McLarson) on [[bass guitar|bass]], [[Boyd Terry]] (Catboy) and [[Adam Deibert]] (Prince Adam) on [[trumpet]]s, [[Chad Parkin]] (Nacho) on [[farfisa organ|organ]], and [[Rod Arellano]] (Roddy B.) on [[Drum kit|drums]]. They were also often joined by third guitarist [[Charles Gray (musician)|Charles Gray]] (Ultra Kyu). Their music was heavily rooted in surf rock, punk rock, pop, and ska, and influenced by groups such as [[Devo]], [[Oingo Boingo]], [[Madness (band)|Madness]], and [[The Skatalites]]. Shortly after forming, the band began to establish their mythos, taking the above-mentioned stage names and claiming that they were superheroes from an island called Aquabania. One of the members worked for [[Aleeda]] making [[wetsuit]]s, and using spare [[rashguard]]s and pieces of [[neoprene]] fashioned matching costumes for the group. They recorded and released a demo known as ''Bat Boy'' and began to build a local following through their energetic and eclectic live performances. |
|||
In 1995 the band recorded their first album. It was originally intended to be another demo, but due to increased demand they released it as an album through [[Horchata Records]] under the tongue-in-cheek title ''[[The Return of the Aquabats]]''. It contained songs such as "Playdough," "Martian Girl," "Idiot Box," and "CD Repo Man" which would become standards in their live set over the next several years. They embarked on tours and established themselves in a prolific southern California ska movement that also included bands such as [[Reel Big Fish]], [[Sublime (band)| Sublime]], [[The Hippos]], [[Buck-O-Nine]], [[No Doubt]], and [[Save Ferris]]. |
|||
===1997-2000: Goldenvoice years=== |
|||
By 1997 Arellano had left the group and been replaced by [[Travis Barker]] (The Baron von Tito) on [[Drum kit|drums]]. Bergeson left the band to focus on his new marriage and children (although he would continue to assist the band in a studio capacity), and Gray became a full-time member on [[guitar]]. Parkin also left and was replaced by [[James Briggs (musician)|James Briggs]] (Jaime the Robot), who brought additional horn instrumentation to the group as well as playing keyboards. Some of the existing members also altered their pseudonyms, with Jacobs now going by "The Bat Commander" and Pollock as "Chainsaw the Prince of Karate." The new lineup signed to Goldenvoice and recorded the album ''[[The Fury of the Aquabats!]]'' In addition to several re-recorded versions of popular songs from ''Return'', ''Fury'' contained songs such as "Cat With 2 Heads!" and "Super Rad!" which would become anthems for the band and expand their fan base. "Super Rad!" became a minor hit and was promoted with a [[music video]]. The success of ''Fury'' and its supporting tours brought the band to their highest level of recognition and popularity yet. |
|||
The following year Barker left the Aquabats to join [[Blink-182]]. He was replaced by drummer Gabe Palmer (Doctor Rock) and this lineup recorded ''[[The Aquabats vs. the Floating Eye of Death!]]'', released in 1999.<ref>{{cite web |

Stylistically the album was a departure for the band, relying heavily on synthesizers and pop melodies. Its somewhat experimental and unconventional sound distanced the band from the southern California ska movement with which they had been associated, and isolated both their record label and portions of their fan base. The somewhat cool reception to ''Floating Eye'', along with the departure of Palmer the following year (who later joined [[Innaway]]) and the collapse of Goldenvoice soon after left the band's future uncertain. After releasing a collection of outtakes in 2000 entitled ''[[Myths, Legends, and Other Amazing Adventures, Vol. 2]]'', the band slipped into a period of relative inactivity for several years. |
|||
===2000-2006: Rejuvenation=== |
|||
From 2000-2003 the future of the Aquabats was uncertain. The loss of their drummer and record label, soon followed by the departure of trumpeter Terry, left the group unsure of whether or not they would continue recording and performing. During this time news updates from the band were infrequent, and those that did appear hinted at the possibility of a breakup. Eventually the group decided to continue on, relocating to [[San Diego, California|San Diego]] and bringing in new drummer [[Richard Falomir|Ricky Falomir]] (Ricky Fitness), formerly of the [[Assorted Jelly Beans]], in 2002. In 2003 the band released their first [[DVD]], ''[[Serious Awesomeness!]]'', followed the next year by the self-released ''[[Yo! Check Out This Ride! EP]]''. This would be Deibert's last recording with the group (though he would occasionally join them for onstage performances in southern California over the next few years), and his departure completed the loss of the band's horn section and their transition to synthesizer-structured songwriting. |
|||
In 2005 the band signed to [[Nitro Records]] and released the album ''[[Charge!!]]'' It found the band with a rejuvenated sense of energy and marked their recommitment to touring and recording. The album was supported by numerous tours and a music video for the song "Fashion Zombies!" They also performed on the television program ''[[Attack of the Show]]'' on [[September 23]], [[2005]]. In June of 2006 the album was re-released as a special one year anniversary edition with additional songs. Guitarist Pollock left the band at this time and was replaced by [[Ian Fowles]] (Eagle "Bones" Falconhawk), formerly of [[Death by Stereo]]. The band continued touring in support of ''Charge!!'' until January 2007. |
|||
===Recent activity=== |
|||
Following touring in late 2006 and early 2007, The Aquabats began recording a follow-up to ''Charge!!''. Recording began in July 2007 and the band performed some dates that month and in August in the western United States, the east coast, and [[England]]. Although their recording and touring schedule continue, the band often joke that each performance or album might be their last. |
|||
The band has also started production on another pilot for a television show, tentatively titled "[[The Aquabats Super Show!]]"<ref>{{cite web |

|||
==Superhero mythos== |
|||
[[Image:Aquabats live in San Francisco, 2006.jpg|thumb|250px|left|The Aquabats performing a holiday show in [[San Francisco]] in 2006. The numerous masked individuals and the large costumed character are regular fixtures of the band's stage show and tie into their fictitious superhero mythos.]] |
|||
Throughout their career the Aquabats have maintained a fictitious backstory which purports them to be superheroes from a distant island called Aquabania. The band's costumes and pseudonyms tie into this mythology, which is detailed in the liner notes of their albums. Over the years the story of their origins has evolved, changed, and occasionally been [[Retroactive continuity|retconned]] to explain changes in the band's lineup. They have also built up a roster of allies and enemies, many of whom are featured in their album artwork and often appear onstage with them as costumed characters in choreographed fight scenes. |
|||
According to the most consistent elements of the band's mythology, the original 8 (or 9) members lived on a distant and idyllic island known as "Aquabania," populated by humanlike bat creatures. The island was attacked by the villain Space Monster "M" and 8 (or 9) of its inhabitants fled to the ocean in a hollowed-out log. They washed ashore in [[California]], where they were taken in by Professor Monty Corndog (portrayed onstage by singer [[Christian Jacobs]]' brother, Parker Jacobs), who used chemicals to revive them and give them super powers. They donned costumes including "radioactive rash guards," "power belts," and "anti-negativity helmets" (many of which are sold as part of the band's merchandise catalogue) and decided to channel their powers through music in order to "take over the world" by attracting legions of fans. This would then allow them to combat Space Monster "M" and retake their homeland. |
|||
Space Monster "M" placed a bounty on the heads of the Aquabats, attracting numerous villains and monsters to pursue and attack them in attempts to end their musical quest. These costumed villains often appear onstage to combat the band in concert. In addition to Space Monster "M," some of the more notable Aquabats enemies to appear over the years include Powdered Milk Man, The Sandfleas, The Floating Eye of Death, Cyclopsis, and Pumpkin Face. Along with their rogue's gallery, the band has also amassed a list of allies who assist them in various capacities. In addition to the Professor, some of the more notable Aquabats allies have included their former webmaster The Pigbat, the Sea Ghost, Danger Woman, and [[Digital Unicorn]]. |
|||
The band's superhero mythos has often been used as a device for explaining their numerous lineup changes. For example, members departing the group have sometimes been said to have been wounded in battle with the band's enemies, and when Jimmy the Robot joined, it was explained that the Professor constructed him out of various materials in order to provide the band with a robotic musical virtuoso. |
|||
==Aquacadets== |
|||
[[Image:Aquacadets.jpg|thumb|Aquacadets at a performance in [[Denver, Colorado]], wearing costume pieces sold by the band.|right]] |
|||
The Aquabats Cadet Faction is the official [[fan club]] of the band, and its members are commonly known as Aquacadets. Enrollment in the fan club allows members access to exclusive merchandise and to an exclusive section of the band's official message board, as well as events known as "Cadet Summits." These are held every few years in southern California and normally include fun and games, meet and greets, autograph signings, door prizes, and a live performance. There have been five such summits held over the years. The most recent Cadet Summit was held on [[July 22]], [[2006]] in [[San Diego, California|San Diego]] and included a complete performance of ''[[The Return of the Aquabats]]'' album in celebration of the tenth anniversary of its release. |
|||
Aquacadets are encouraged to attend these events and the band's concerts in costume. These costumes often include official rashguards, helmets, belts, and masks that are available as part of the band's merchandise catalogue, but also often consist of homemade items. Some members have even formed splinter factions such as the "Astrobats," "Piratebats," and "Ninjabats" and outfitted themselves with homemade [[t-shirt]]s and other apparel to show their support for the band. |
|||
Among The Aquabats' hundreds of cadets is [[Reel Big Fish]] lead singer [[Aaron Barrett]], who can be seen wearing a cadet patch in the music video for Reel Big Fish's "Party Down." The cadets are such a significant part of the band's fanbase that they are mentioned in the video game ''[[Saints Row]]'' on the radio when The Aquabats' song "Look at Me (I'm a Winner)!" is played.{{Fact|date=March 2008}} |
