Originals brings the horn-driven bounce of Reel Big Fish to the Copa Room, running through the ska-punk anthems that soundtracked skate videos and mall food courts in the 90s. Expect the full upstroke-guitar-and-brass treatment on songs like "Sell Out" and "Beer," with a band that's clearly built for a room that wants to skank and sing along rather than just sit and watch.
The Copa Room's intimate lounge setup suits this kind of show well - close enough to feel the trombone section, loud enough to lose yourself in the chorus. It's a night built for anyone with a soft spot for third-wave ska and the checkerboard-and-Vans era of the late 90s, when a horn section and a good pit went hand in hand.
