The Aquabats are an American rock band formed in 1994 in Orange County, California, known for their distinctive superhero personas and costumes. They blend elements of ska, punk, and new wave music with humorous lyrics and theatrical live performances featuring staged fights against costumed villains. Led by frontman MC Bat Commander (Christian Jacobs), the band gained wider recognition through their children's television series "The Aquabats! Super Show!" which aired from 2012 to 2014. Throughout their career spanning nearly three decades, The Aquabats have maintained a dedicated cult following while continuing to release albums and perform their energetic, family-friendly shows.

I got Ricky on the Skype and this is what we chat about:

  • Assorted Jelly Beans
  • Getting heckled on stage
  • Almost becoming the drummer for Blink
  • What did he bring to the Aquabats creatively
  • Touring with the Offspring
  • Yo, Gabba Gabba
  • Do they always call each other by their stage names
  • Josh Freeze
  • And a ton more
