PICK IT UP, SOCAL! Save Ferris Brings ‘It Means Everything’ to Rancho Cucamonga

The Orange County ska-punk legends return on September 19 to perform their landmark 1997 debut album from start to finish.

Nearly three decades after It Means Everything introduced Save Ferris to the world, the Orange County ska-punk legends are finally giving the home crowd a performance they have never seen before. On September 19, the band will take the stage at the Arrow Room in Rancho Cucamonga, California, to perform their landmark 1997 debut album in its entirety, from start to finish.

A Landmark Moment for Ska-Punk

For fans who grew up on the “third wave” of ska, this isn’t just another gig—it’s a celebration of the record that defined an era. Fronted by the unmistakable voice and commanding stage presence of Monique Powell, Save Ferris is revisiting the 11 tracks that launched their career. This means fans will hear favorites like The World Is New, Superspy, Under 21, and their iconic reinvention of Come On Eileen exactly as they were sequenced on the original release. Powell herself has noted that this album changed her life and gave her a career, and she is thrilled to see a new generation of fans discovering these songs alongside the die-hards who have been there since the beginning.

Touring the Nation, Ending at Home

The Southern California show serves as the grand finale following a massive North American tour that kicked off on August 11 in Troy, New York. The band has been tearing through the Northeast, Midwest, South, and Texas, even celebrating Monique Powell’s birthday on stage in Nashville on August 20. After the cross-country run concludes on August 31 in Phoenix, the band heads back to California for the highly anticipated September date.

Loud, Proud, and Finally on Vinyl

If you want to take the memories home, the tour coincides with another first: It Means Everything is finally available on vinyl for the first time in the album’s history. Released via Parting Gift Records, the vinyl comes in various limited-edition versions, including “Black and Blue Pinwheel” and a “Checkerboard Picture Disc,” giving fans a chance to own a piece of the history they will be witnessing live.

The Main Event

The highly anticipated performance will take place on September 19 at the Arrow Room, located in Rancho Cucamonga, California. This headlining show will feature all 11 tracks from the debut album performed in sequence, along with additional fan favorites from throughout the band’s career. Critics have long praised the band’s high-energy live shows, noting that the “electricity” in the crowd often moves audiences into a “frenzy of ska dancing”.
