i was there. at least part of this new yorker was. Matthew Sweet's band was not so memorable even the Sweet had words for audience members. someone screamed, "Play Scooby Doo", matthew fired back Fuck You. it was all downhill from there. seriously though, don't isolate a heckler and try to humiliate them. on the other hand, the Tender Idols were fab. a bit of american faux brit pop group. the front man was from England. Ian Webber. i still own Girlfriend (Deluxe Edition) as well as Distressor. Anyhow, sorry to burst your nostalgic bubble. the site itself, the Tradewinds was a cool venue. hot tubs in the winter. sadly, this new jersey institution in Sea Bright is shuddered.

Anyhow, let me know if u need more info or just some Sweet-inspired memories.

It's hard not to get involved in the loopy sense of fun. The band plays a ska-punk blend, similar to labelmates Goldfinger. Unlike their friends in Goldfinger, though, Reel Big Fish includes not only the traditional rock instruments of guitar (Aaron Barrett, who's also the lead singer), bass (Matt Wong), and drums (Andrew Gonzales), but also two trumpet players (Scott Klopfenstein and Tavis Werts) and two trombonists (Grant Barry and Dan Regan). In 1995, Reel Big Fish put out a local record, Everything Sucks, in their native Southern California, and were quickly signed to Mojo Records soon after. Their latest effort is Turn the Radio O...
