If you live in California, what bands would you like to see at 3FOS 2009?

[Andrew Lyons]

Bucket Hingley is bringing his 3 Floors Of Ska show to the Knitting Factory in Hollywood on Feb. 7th, 2009.

So what bands would you like to see perform?

(Keep in mind that Reel Big Fish and Streelight Manifesto are probably out of Bucket's budget. But both bands will perform at The House Of Blues on Sunset in January.)

PS: Keep up to date on all 3FOS bulletins. Join CA SKA here on Ska Summit!

So a wish list is what you're after....ok..alright.

Hub City -would be great to have em show up again.
The Allentons -LA based.
HEPCAT -they seem to be alive with a show in Dec.at El Ray
La Banda Skalavera - latin & core ska
See Spot - wish
Captain Squeegee & the Soup Suds - AZ band ska meets all crazy types of music...a wild card like the Johnstones were
THE SELF MADE MEN - John Roy of Unsteady, his new SD band. soul reggae big band ska
The Skank Agents -Young leading ska force with promise would be a great return
GREEN ROOM ROCKERS - new members of megalith records
Eastern Standard Time - wish
Victor Rice - wish
Monkey with the DUB ROBOT!!
Pedaltones - a great tasty band I love to see
Buddha Bomb - Girl Singer, From riverside plus aggressive and fun.
Skeletones- riverside la
Amalgamated - x- hi-lites band that was on megalith records. Trad ska.
Social Green- for reggae ska new blend...been playing with chris murry a lot. from sd.

The UP STARTS....put out that new documentary. wish

I think a good pull of LA, Riverside, SD and maybe AZ bands is the ticket...go local!

[Steven Denney Shafer II]

Hepcat. I hear they're playing some shows in December, so maybe they'd want to play?
Half Past Two. I hate to promote these guys (I know them) but they are really good and they have a really strong following around these parts. Solid Ska-rock band.

This is hard, most of the groups I'm thinking of wouldn't probably be able to make it. I'll post again later, I guess.

[Skibz McCullock]

Possibilities:
The Allentons
The (English) Beat
GoGo13
Joey Altruda/Jump with Joey
Raskahuele
RiceRokit
See Spot
The Skeletones

Long Shots?:
Go Jimmy Go
Goldfish Don't Bounce
Fishbone
Monkey
The Pietasters
The Untouchables

And, my own personal choice, the Cherry Poppin' Daddies. Their newest album has a lot of ska and reggae and they have more than enough ska and rock-with-horns tunes to fill a 30/45 minute set.

well, deals gone bad,
green room rockers- i know there playing the NY one
the bohunks
hub city stompers
toasters
hepcat
and i second auggie's wish list too

[Brian Settles]

[Mimi]

Pick good bands. haha.

I'd really like to see Hepcat again. Don't think I'd be able to make the upcoming show unfortunately.
Oh of course augie, Amalgamated! =]
I really do love those guys.
The Bashments are a new band out from Ontario, Ca.
Pretty sick stuff.
And of course, its always good to see See Spot.

[TooLateRudi]

The skatalites and i'll be happy -=)

[AUGGIE / Skank-Out]

Well I would've put down Brite Spot!!!!! guess I should say Police and Thieves now, Right! That band tore it up last 3FOS with just the first song as an instrumental. Blew me away. Can't wait to see you perform with you in the mix! HOT DANG

Oh I'd kill to see Go Jimmy Go here.

I miss Goldfish Don't Bounce...but they were best with the Girl singer in the band and when the sax guy looked homeless!

Did they break up? I only saw them a couple of times, but I remember how great they were, especially since I usually despise any sort of "reggae-rock" hybrid.

[Christian]

Only one request from me and I'll be a pretty happy puppy, The Slackers.
Also another vote for Half-Past 2 and Buddha Bomb real cool bands, and nice people.
Ohh and if you could speed up all this Specials reunion thing and get them there that'd be pretty swell.

Last years 3FOS i had a blast, bring back hub city, deals gone bad, the johnstones. I enjoyed the roundabouts last year also. See spot and the pietasters would be nice to see again.
