SAVE FERRIS IN CONCERT:
Ska punk octet Save Ferris took over airwaves in 1997 with a rowdy cover of '80s hit "Come on Eileen," and they've kept fans skanking over the years with their upbeat recordings and adrenaline-filled performances. The band brings a total party to the stage at their live shows, where fans cut a rug to the brassy horns, crunchy guitar riffs, and uptempo rhythms of favorites like "Goodbye" and "The World Is New." Frontwoman Monique Powell is the epicenter of the jubilation, dancing along to the beat and delivering her sultry vocals with a smile while fans sing along. Save Ferris continues to perform their infectious favorites with all the lively energy that earned them a diehard following in the first place, and ticket buyers can't get enough of the non-stop fun.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Save Ferris quickly caught on in mid-'90s scene of their native Orange County, CA, finding a home alongside ska punk contemporaries like No Doubt, Sublime, and Goldfinger. After a couple years of local gigging they independently released their 1996 EP Introducing Save Ferris, an auspicious debut that sold nearly 20,000 copies. The group scored a breakthrough in 1997 with hit singles "Come on Eileen" and "The World Is New," which helped their full-length debut It Means Everything achieve Gold certification. Following the tour for their sophomore album, 1999's Modified, internal friction lead to a hiatus which turned into a full-fledged breakup in 2003. Powell focused on her solo career during the '00s and made cameos on records by The Used, Lostprophets, and Hillary Duff. A refreshed Save Ferris lineup returned in 2013, attracting hometown fans to sold-out concerts at the El Rey and the Santa Monica Pier. In 2016 they co-headlined the Mexico City Ska Fest along with The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, and later that year they began crowdsourcing funds for their first recordings in over a decade. Save Ferris continues to bring their electric sound to venues across North America, and fans are glad to have their wild style back on the scene.

Rating: 1 out of 5 Save Ferris? I don't think so.
by TiffanySkaa on 8/19/13OC Pacific Amphitheater - Costa MesaUgh. Where to begin... I admit it. I was fooled into going to this show by Monique's posts on facebook. I was so stoked having Save Ferris back and I immediately bought tickets to the show. I ignored a lot (A LOT) of people's advice, but I should have listened. This wasn't the Save Ferris I supported since I was a young girl. There was no T-Bone Willy and his crazy antics. There was no Brian Mashburn and his distinct vocals and red hair. There was no Eric Zamora and his awesome Sax playing. THERE WAS NO BILL AND HIS ADORABLE BEAR HAT. I mean, WHAT THE HELL. I was just so pissed through out the whole thing. This was Fake Ferris! And to top it off...THE SHOW WASNT EVEN THAT GOOD. Sure, the bassist did a trick. Whoopiefreakindoo. But I'm not here to see a trick that a crap load of bassists can do, I was here to see Save Ferris and this wasn't it! She even THREW HAVE-BITTEN CORN DOGS IN THE CROWD. Ewwww gross. What class. It wasn't until after I learned that Monique have been lying. Forget that. If I want to see a legit SF performance, I'll go see Starpool.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Best Save Ferris show in history!
by Wedge111 on 8/5/13Pacific Ampitheatre - Costa MesaI don't know what the other reviewer is talking about...This had to be the best Save Ferris show ever! Monique sounded better than ever, the new band was fresh and talented! The crowd was on their feet the whole set!!! Save Ferris beach balls flew into the crowd making extra special and fun! Monique talked to the crowd told jokes, and had fun with the fair food. The bass player (Gordon) got onto his stand up bass and jumped off it during Goodbye!! Pure entertainment! I read other reviews on OC Weekly and the Register, and they were good as well! Bravo SF!!!!!
Rating: 1 out of 5 Not the Real Save Ferris - Never again. =(
by FrancineT on 7/28/13Pacific Amphitheatre - Costa MesaWent to this show with an open mind considering this wasn't the actual Save Ferris, JUST Monique with a new random backing band. My friend bought ticket and we went with a few people. I had my doubts but since the English Beat was playing the show and we could go check out the fair, I decided to give it a chance. Boy, do I regret it. Monique has definitely lost it. The band lacked the chemistry and the energy the former members had (having been to a few real Save Ferris shows in my day.) I was getting a little bored, actually. I couldn't help but sit there and be in awe of how this is being passed as Save Ferris nowadays. Not to mention, her dress malfunctions shows she's not in the best shape either, yet she still dresses like she is still in her 20s. Her wig was also super distracting, Even people around us seem to be really bored . =/ At least The English Beat were great, then again they are legends. A lot of people around us left after they were done.
