The latter album freed Reel Big Fish from label obligations, which left the group, according to Barrett, “finally happy.” Currently without a label, the band nonetheless has a distribution deal that Barrett says allows RBF to do pretty much whatever it wants. Since then the band has put out numerous albums, among them “Why Do They Rock So Hard?,” “Cheer Up!” and “We’re Not Happy ‘Til You’re Not Happy.” That album’s success led to MTV music videos (back when MTV actually played videos) and appearances in feature films like “BASEketball,” starring “South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Underground buzz from that debut led to a deal at Mojo Records, which released the band’s 1997 breakthrough “Turn the Radio Off” (featuring the hit single “Sell Out”) just as third-wave ska was reaching mass appeal thanks to the success of No Doubt and Sublime. venues while independently recording its first record, “Everything Sucks,” issued in 1994. Reel Big Fish formed in Huntington Beach in 1991 and dutifully gigged at O.C. 4, a show that will be taped for a DVD to be released next summer. The band comes to the Grove of Anaheim on Jan. have hit the road in support of the new album, kicking off a nearly three-month long tour with a New Year’s Day show at the House of Blues in San Diego. We still might do them live, though.”īarrett & Co. They’re fun to play but they sounded terrible on record. “We tried ‘Fight for Your Right’ by the Beastie Boys and ‘Baby’s Got Back’ by Sir-Mix-A-Lot. When the group started brainstorming choices for the album, Barrett says there were a few titles that sounded fun but didn’t make the cut.
“Originally I wanted it to be a Poison tribute album,” Barrett admits, “and I wanted to call it ‘Open Up and Say Ska.’ But I guess that only sounded good to me.” Though in between are remakes of classics from Tom Petty, Van Morrison and the Eagles, the 10-track disc opens with Poison’s “Nothing but a Good Time” and closes with “Talk Dirty to Me.” 20 on the band’s own imprint, Rock Ridge Music. Barrett and his ska-rock band Reel Big Fish are about to release their first covers album, “Fame, Fortune and Fornication,” due Jan. Now, more than a dozen years later, the 34-year-old vocalist-guitarist may not have completely realized that dream – but his love of Poison hasn’t waned. It was the life Barrett hoped he’d be destined to live. Growing up in Southern California in the ’80s, he worshipped hair-metal outfit Poison, mesmerized by the group’s heavy guitar sound, party lyrics, glam style – and its female following. The first build, iSplash-I (2014) was the first robotic platform to apply a full-body length carangiform swimming motion which was found to increase swimming speed by 27% over the traditional approach of a posterior confined wave form.Aaron Barrett always wanted to be a rock star.
This build attained swimming speeds of 11.6BL/s (i.e. It was the first robotic fish capable of outperforming real carangiform fish in terms of average maximum velocity (measured in body lengths/ second) and endurance, the duration that top speed is maintained. Robotic Fish: iSplash-II In 2014 iSplash-II was developed by R.J Clapham PhD at Essex University. Festo have also built the Aqua Ray and Aqua Jelly, which emulate the locomotion of manta ray, and jellyfish, respectively. The Aqua Penguin, designed and built by Festo of Germany, copies the streamlined shape and propulsion by front "flippers" of penguins. Notable examples are the Essex University Computer Science Robotic Fish G9, and the Robot Tuna built by the Institute of Field Robotics, to analyze and mathematically model thunniform motion. Therefore, many researchers studying underwater robots would like to copy this type of locomotion. Furthermore, they can accelerate and maneuver far better than any man-made boat or submarine, and produce less noise and water disturbance. It is calculated that when swimming some fish can achieve a propulsive efficiency greater than 90%.
