Join THE AQUABATS to MAKE BRAND NEW ALBUMS & A WHOLE YEAR OF NEW EPISODES that make the world super rad... for the kids!
Entering the last day of their campaign, i would implore you that if youâve ever enjoyed the work of the Aquabats to contribute to them producing further rad albums and additional episodes of The Aquabats Super Show. If youâre not familiar with them, maybe you should be!
The Aquabats formed in the mid-nineties with the intention of poking fun at the over seriousness of those involved in the punk movement of the time. But, finding the burgeoning Ska scene to be largely that already, decided to go in that direction fully. Pulling inspiration from Devo in their musical approach and costuming, and naming themselves along the lines of past surf bands, they formed with a motley crew of local musicians to mostly just have fun with the idea. But were driven on by the response of the crowds and the rising status of ska in general at the time
Theyâve had a long road since then, evolving as a band past that to a sound closer to Devo entirely, but have always had great energy, cleverly satirical songs, backed by positive energy and an appreciation for whatâs good in life. Who else would write a ballad to waterslides?
In these water mountains we can hide
There we can close our eyes
And we can be all right
We can write this story
Raise our arms in glory
As we step off the world to slide
Or a sort of relaxed calypso song about the end of the world
Chemical bomb, chemical bomb
Eyes melt, skin explodes, everybody's dead
It won't be long, it won't be long
People gonna run around losing their heads
A river of blood, who's gonna live?
The earth is tired of human kind and I think this world
Is gonna wash up in Hell
Or just writing themselves a marching theme
We're all just peaceful little Aquabats
We would never take a life
We don't want to fight
But if we must
Please be cool
No guns or knives
If you dont know them, and are interested in hearing more, like most folks these days, you can listen to their albums on youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoAw6jzpQDjGqGyXOuM-JcQ/playlists (at least if youâre in the US). âThe Fury of the Aquabatsâ is far and away their most popular album, but i think âCharge!!â is their strongest, showcasing their growth as a band and their breadth of styles.
So, in conclusion, please consider kicking in some cash if this is something youâd like more of in your life. $25 will get ya the new album when it comes out, or $55 will get ya some extras and a tshirt with that. And like any kickstarter, the packages get bigger tfrom there. If they can get up to their next goal, it will be two albums, as well as a live album, so it would be nice if they got that far.
