It’s been a thrilling year for Fredericton’s Weak Size Fish. After releasing their debut album, ‘Off We Go’, in March of 2009, the six-piece rock/reggae group have been hard at work ever since. The past year saw the band performing at festivals such as Salty Jam Festival (Saint John, NB), Sunseeker’s Ball (Chance Harbour, NB), and the Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival (Fredericton, NB). As well as a four-day mini-tour with Toronto’s King Sunshine, Weak Size Fish performed roughly 40 shows in 2009.
As finalists in CBC’s Galaxie Rising Star Competition in September of 2009, Weak Size Fish are now poised to take their show on the road. Beginning with stops throughout the Maritimes, the band will then head west to Ontario and Quebec and finish with a performance at the ECMA Rock Showcase at the 2010 East Coast Music Awards in Sydney, NS.
Their sophomore album, currently in production, is set to be released in the fall of 2010.
“The album is full of the same great fusion of rock and reggae that has enamored students on the hill for the past four years. None of the tracks fail to impress, and unlike a lot of bands who only give high-energy performances live, the CD manages to recapture that feeling.” – Alison Clack, The Brunswickan
“Tracks like Growing Old and Johnny Running Too Slow will have people longing for warmer weather, and Jam On Skinners Pond shows the band isn't afraid to have some fun.” – Adam Bowie, The Daily Gleaner
