Aaron Barrett
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aaron Barrett (born August 30, 1974) Prior to forming with Reel Big Fish, Barrett played trombone in another ska-punk act, The Scholars, along with future Reel Big Fish bandmates Scott Klopfenstein and Grant Barry. More recently he formed The Forces of Evil with former members of Jeffries Fan Club, The Scholars and Lone Raspberry. In terms of sound, The Forces of Evil sounded similar to Barrett's main band although lyrically, were much more negative and pessimistic. The Forces Of Evil appeared to cease touring and playing in early 2005, although members have gone on to play with Reel Big Fish.
Barrett gained notoriety in 2004 when he appeared onstage with Reel Big Fish at a concert in Syracuse, apparently intoxicated. After around 45 minutes, Barrett flew into a frenzy mid-song, destroying equipment onstage and leaving the venue. Barrett later referenced the incident in a blog entry. The show was also reviewed by Punknews.org link
He has a tattoo of a skull and cross bones on the back of his right and left arms.
Barrett married actress Molly Torrence in Las Vegas in July 2004.
He currently plays a Gordon Smith guitar and plays a Gordon Smith on "Our Live Album Is Better Than Your Live Album".
