Ballyhoo! Bad Summer with Harbor Boys & FUBAR Thursday, September 17, 2026 Thunderbird Music Hall 4053 Butler Street, Pittsburgh, PA Doors @ 7pm Show @ 8pm AGE RESTRICTION: 18+ or with legal guardian https://www.ballyhoorocks.com Through 25 years and eight independent albums, the last four on their own Right Coast Records, Ballyhoo! have earned the exclamation point which marks their name. Starting in the basement of their mom’s Aberdeen, MD, home, rocking out on guitar and drums respectively, practicing every day, brothers Howi and Donald Spangler formed the proto-punk band in the mold of Green Day and Nirvana, with an eye towards the emerging ska genre led by Goldfinger, Sublime, 311 and No Doubt. The group’s eighth and most recent studio album, the breezy, ska-fueled, hook-filled Message to the World, on their own Right Coast Records, finds the self-declared “beach-rockers,” having grown up in public, accepting the responsibilities of adulthood while still hanging on to their dreams of world domination. Stylistically, their music ranges from the hard-edged punk of 2018’s Detonate, which captured the feelings of anger and depression from dealing with personal loss and the exhaustion generated by over a decade on the road to the island reggae beats of the follow-up, Message to the World. “Whatever you want to achieve, just focus on that and work towards it,” explains Howi about the Ballyhoo! ethos. “Don’t worry about followers, views, or even money. Just keep making good stuff. One day it may be possible to finally quit that day job and live your dream full time.”Ballyhoo! is still doing just that, purveying good vibes, positivity and fun live shows meant to take you away from real life... https://www.fubarpgh.com FUBAR is an original band with reggae, rock, ska and punk influences.

Now featuring Cody Woolsoncroft (Vocals/Guitar), Tom Brennan (Drums), Dan O’Brien (Bass), and Geoff Marshall (Keys), The Harbor Boys are entering a new chapter in 2026. Currently working on a new album, the band is evolving its sound into a different, more aggressive blend of reggae, rock, and punk, while keeping the energy, hooks, and party atmosphere that have become staples of their live shows.
