Biography

Larson has been a member of The Aquabats since the group's inception in 1994. In the earliest days of the band, he played trombone before switching to bass guitar. Alongside lead vocalist Christian Jacobs, Larson is one of only two original members in the current Aquabats line-up, and as such is considered by some as the band's "second in command".

In the early 1990s and up until their break-up in 1997, Larson was also the bassist for the hardcore punk band B.H.R., an acronym whose meaning regularly changed.

When not touring with The Aquabats, Larson is a professional electrician and lives in Huntington Beach, California with his wife and three children. Like most of the Aquabats, including Christian Jacobs and Ian Fowles, he is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[1]
