About Me

HALF PAST TWO is ready to prove that ska music is alive and kicking in the Orange County music scene. After working with ska veteran and producer Aaron Barrett (Reel Big Fish) on their debut EP called Closet Polar Bear, their relationship spanned beyond the recording process. In January 2008 Barrett personally invited the band to open for a hometown Reel Big Fish show at the Anaheim House of Blues. The band was so well received that Barrett extended the offer to open for a string of California and Nevada dates in March 2008. Since then Half Past Two has received a 2008 Orange County Music Awards nomination for Best Alternative Band, airplay on radio stations KROQ, KUCI, and even UK based Leeds Student Radio; opened for The English Beat and Rx Bandits at the Grove of Anaheim, and they recently returned to the House of Blues to share the stage with UK 2-tone pioneers Bad Manners.
