Frontman Dave McWane says:
'Thank you for loving the album, everyone. We have been over-the-top excited to get it to you! Thanks to our friends all around the world—the U.S., U.K., EU, Japan, China, Southeast Asia, Australia, and you, Canada! We can't wait to hit the road and see you all!'
Produced by Joe Gittleman of The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Matt Appleton of Reel Big Fish, The Good Ole American Saturday Night finds the longtime ska-punk innovators firing on all cylinders more than 30 years into their career.
The album moves seamlessly between high-energy ska-punk anthems, laid-back reggae grooves, heartfelt songwriting, and massive singalong choruses. Drawing inspiration from every chapter of the band's catalog—from the punk urgency of Good Luck to the reggae influence of Strictly Rude—the record celebrates individuality, creativity, community, and finding joy during challenging times.
Led by the singles 'Whiplash,' 'Right Now,' and 'Scatterbrain,' The Good Ole American Saturday Night has earned an enthusiastic reception from fans and critics alike.
More than three decades after forming in Boston's vibrant punk and ska scene, BIG D AND THE KIDS TABLE remain a vital and relentlessly forward-moving live band. The upcoming dates give audiences across the U.S., Mexico, and Canada an opportunity to hear music from The Good Ole American Saturday Night alongside favorites spanning the group's extensive catalog.
