Yer lookin’ at ‘em!! The Fishheads are a regionally-touring entertainment extravaganza!!! Sixteen years ago, five Omaha-based musicians launched an experiment unlike anything the world had ever seen. Billing themselves as “The Island Party Alternative Band,” The Fishheads breathed new life into the Midwestern entertainment scene with their unique blend of music, comedy and mayhem, and the party keeps getting bigger!! Each year finds the group busier, playing more shows for more people in an ever-expanding area. What’s at the heart of their success story? “The focus is on the fun,” says guitarist Steve Eisenberg. “People naturally want to cut loose and have a good time, and that’s something we do better than anyone else out there.” This is easy to see whenever the group starts playing their “Fishhead-ized” versions of reggae, ska, modern rock and oldies tunes. Whether it’s a corporate affair, outdoor festival or a riverboat cruise, the party atmosphere the Fishheads create at each and every show pulls the whole audience into the fun, leaving them wanting more at the end of the night. 

Where’d you guys get the bus? 

Hey, like we said, it keeps getting bigger. The Fishheads’ tour bus ventures far beyond the Omaha/Lincoln area, traveling to various Midwestern resorts, clubs, auditoriums, universities, and corporations. The “Island Party on Wheels” is still rolling through Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, South Dakota, Minnesota and Missouri, making particularly frequent stops at Okoboji and Lake of the Ozarks. Does this mean they have a limited touring range? Certainly not!! The Fishheads will travel halfway around the world if necessary, and did so in 1993, when the U.S. Department of Defense sent them to perform for our troops in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates (Operation Desert Party). “That was eight years ago,” reminisces lead singer R.J. Hadley, “and people still come up and say, ‘I remember when you guys came over and played for us. It was great! You made my tour of duty!” 

You guys got any CDs? 

Yep. No strangers to recording, the Fishheads launched their first album, LIVE AND UNCENSORED, in 1993, featuring the instant and bizarre classics, "Al's Truck Stop" and "Deer Camp.” Three years later, in a fit of good cheer, the Fishheads released their second recording, ISLAND HOLIDAY. This non-traditional island take on traditional non-island holiday songs has become a holiday island tradition, showcasing the Fishheads' flair for originality (and wordplay). In May of 1999, their latest CD, ESCAPE TO REALITY hit the streets, generating radio airtime with the still-much-requested single, "Bicycle Seat." Plans for LIVE AND UNCENSORED II are already underway. (See our “Discography” page for sound files!) 

Spontaneity on stage makes every Fishheads show a unique party experience, appealing to any type of crowd. That’s why the Fishheads are the Midwest’s #1 party band!!
