Fishbait

Calling all cool cats!
One week till rock o’clock
New music coming soon.
Which came first? The fish, or the bait?
We may never know.

We are extremely sad to announce that, due to immovable circumstances, we cannot make the show on Saturday. We wish everyone a rippin’ set, especially , whom we love dearly and always want to support. If there are any bands available for a last minute show, we promise that this one would be worth your time. We are very sorry. This is not the fish way.

10 days out from Battle of the Bands. Cast a vote and send your favorite band to Summer Camp 2026. 🐟

We’re hard at work on the second record. Thank you Dan the Man Miller for helping us put it together.

Also check out this dope Mr. Rainbow fanart courtesy of . Now that’s talent.

Free show on Friday at the IMU for a good cause. Probably the heaviest benefit show ever billed.

PS, do you think we should put this design on a T-shirt? (Slide 2)

All the love,
Fishbait

On September 20th, prepare yourselves for a local rock-fest unlike any other put on by the called Mt. Thrashmore. Two stages. One mountain of sound.
