Basic Bio!

The Aquabats [often written as The Aquabats!] are an American rock band formed in 1994 in Huntington Beach, California. They are currently recording for Nitro Records and have released four full-length studio albums; and have toured internationally. They are best known for their mythology, in which they claim to be are superheroes on a quest to conquer the world through music. As a part of this mythology the band members have adopted superhero pseudonyms 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.

Though the group's lineup has fluctuated significantly throughout their career, vocalist The MC Bat Commander and bassist Crash McLarson have remained regular fixtures. Keyboard and saxophone player Jimmy the Robot has also been a lasting member, having joined the band in 1997. The Aquabats' early work was heavily rooted in the third wave of ska music, with touches of surf and punk rock. Over the years their music shifted towards more synthesizer-based rock with a new wave influence. Their current style blends elements of rock and roll, pop-punk, ska, and synthpop.
