If you went to any of the recent Reel Big Fish shows in the Southeast, you might've seen a really cool band named The Reunion Show open up for them. TRS is ex-Edna's Goldfish, and is pure and simple pop-rock. They're heading back out on tour for all of November with New Yorkers Brand New, who just released their debut LP on Triple Crown Records and are currently blowing up all over the place with their catchy-as-all-hell rock sound. They're hitting up pretty much every city possible in the Midwest, as well as some eastern dates along the way [some of which are with Bigwig]. Check both of these bands out now before they get to be too huge for words [and trust me, they will]. Dates are below [and mp3s are available on both bands' webpages, but don't tell the RIAA].
