Send a text message to the show! This week I want to take a trip back in time to October 25, 2002 when I went to an Aquabats concerted that literally altered the course of my life and set me on the path to be where I’m at today. It was an incredible experience that solidified The Aquabats and ska as not just something I enjoy, but a core part of my DNA. That sounds more scientific than it probably is. \ 🎶 🎺 Original theme music written by Patrick Boberg and performed by Mike Alvarez ••••••••••...
