The Aquabats are an American rock band formed in Huntington Beach, California, in 1994. Throughout many fluctuations in the group's line-up, singer the MC Bat Commander and bassist Crash McLarson have remained the band's two constant fixtures. Since 2006, the Aquabats' members also include keyboardist Jimmy the Robot, drummer Ricky Fitness and guitarist Eaglebones Falconhawk.

Singer Christian Jacobs and bassist Chad Larson (pictured above in 2013) formed the Aquabats with former trumpeter Boyd Terry as a joke band in 1994.
As part of the band's superhero image, each member of The Aquabats adopted a stage name and backstory. Christian Jacobs' alter ego is "The MC Bat Commander", whose trademark look includes a drawn-on mustache and blacked-out tooth.
Drummer Travis Barker was a member of The Aquabats during their commercial peak in 1997 and 1998, before leaving to join pop punk band Blink-182.
