- The Aquabats (often written as The Aquabats!) are an American rock band formed in 1994 in Huntington Beach, California and currently recording for Nitro Records. They have released six full-length studio albums (the newest, Hi-Five Soup!, in 2011) and have toured internationally. They are best known for their mythology, in which they claim to be superheroes on a quest to save the world from evil through music. As a part of this mythology the band members have adopted superhero pseudonyms and dress in matching costumes. Their eclectic live show often includes onstage "battles" with costumed foes, and the band has built up an elaborate and ever-changing backstory of their origins and adventures, along with a roster of allies and enemies.

Their eclectic live show often includes onstage "battles" with costumed foes, and the band has built up an elaborate and ever-changing backstory of their origins and adventures, along with a roster of allies and enemies. The group's lineup has fluctuated significantly throughout their career, with founding members The MC Bat Commander and Crash McLarson as regular fixtures. Jimmy the Robot has also remained a longtime member, having joined the band in 1996. The Aquabats' early work was heavily rooted in the third wave of ska music with touches of surf and punk rock. Over the years their music shifted towards more synthesizer-based rock with a new wave influence. Their current style blends elements of rock and roll, pop-punk, ska, and synthpop. They have coined the term for their own brand of music as "aquabeat". Image:Stbbitw sm.gif This article is a . You can help My English Wiki by expanding it.

The most distinctive (and Troperiffic) aspect of The Aquabats! is their superhero mythos. They bill themselves as a group of superhero musicians, fighting evil and rocking out in equal proportion. Each member of the band takes on superhero persona (Christian Jacobs, for example, is better known by his moniker of the MC Bat Commander), and performances often involve choreographed combat against costumed characters. As with any good superhero group, the Aquabats have built up a Rogues Gallery of their own. Also notable is the fact that Christian Jacobs, the MC Bat Commander, is the co-creator and writer of the children's show Yo Gabba Gabba. Now starring in their own television show on The Hub, after years of previous attempts.
