The Littlest Man Band will be touring the UK with Suburban Legends and Army of Freshmen in September. The band is the side project of Reel Big Fish trumpet player Scott Klopfenstein and trombone player Dan Regan. The band, which also features members of pre-RBF band The Scholars, recorded last October and released a 10 song full length titled Better Book Ends this month.
The band's press touts a variety of Tom Waits and Brian Wilson influences. Klopfenstein commented "I love ska music and I love reggae, but the thing that's important is not a loyalty to genre, it's a loyalty to music. The thing that comes along with getting into ska music is an open-mindedness to music." Drummer Greg Parkin adds "Our music will speak for itself. I don't think for very long it will be considered a Reel Big Fish side project."
