The Littlest Man Band was started by Scott Klopfenstein of Orange County, California. Scott is a long-time member of Reel Big Fish, a popular Ska band. Scott had written a number of songs over the years that didn't conform to the usual style of Reel Big Fish. He performed some of these by himself under the pseudonym "The Littlest Man" before being joined by several musicians well known to him from the Long Beach music scene, the majority of whom are fellow ex-members of the band The Scholars.
This differs from the music he and the fellow Reel Big Fish member Dan Regan had been performing previously, but the new piano-bar style has been well-received by fans. Often, both bands will play at the same venue.
LMB has not performed since May 25, 2005, and rumors have circulated regarding the band's break-up. However, there has been no official word from the band.
Scott has recently commented that due to his move to the East Coast, he will no longer be performing with these musicians (except RBF bandmate Regan, of course). He also said that he has been working on another top-secret project which he plans to release details about by the year's end.[citation needed]
