I would head to Cali for that for sure. I saw the Specials at a warp tour in Austin almost 10 years ago and it was awesome, also a tease with such a short set.
I prefer trad and trad revival, but also like a lot of 3rd wave. I think 4th wave is a stupid term. 3rd wave already mixed hardcore,ska,funk,rock, anything, and music is always progressive, so I don't get it. I do like some ska-punk and skacore.
Ska is dead in Houston was amazing. It was ike it was 1999 instead of 2009. Sold out and cramed enough to piss of any bastard fire marshall, and a real positive show as well. Security overacted a bit as people who knew how to dance proper non agre...
Houston is off the chain right now. I went to the Toasters show and it was like how it use to be during the Ska craze of the 90s. Sold out venue, It was amazing to see. We got Slackers at Slackfest and the Skatalites next week as well. If I get my...
Feel like co-writing? I'm working on a film where some small town kids set off ontheir first diy tour and run into a series of crap that I've experianced being in touring bands myself. From there it get hilariously out of control.

About Me:
I'm the son of a Rock N Roller, The grandson and godson of country music and Westeren Swing heros. I was raised by punk rockers in a mythical land where Cadillacs grow from the ground, and wind howls through the canyon walls of the Palo Duro. I am looking to play some soul, rocksteady, ska, but have limited time because my obligation to a signed band in a different genre.
well if we are talkin music scene then the ska, punk scene is dieing but we got a few rudies out here and we are tryin to save it, but if we're talkin things to do then your askin the wrong dude, vegas sucks for a minor but just walkin down the strip is fun, its always an adventure
I booked a show for them in Phoenix a few years ago when they were the Shake Up!, but the turnout was pretty small... they haven't been back haha oh well, that's Phoenix. But they're rad guys/girls. I'll chack out that band from Texas, thanks for the tip!
The Kingpins came down to Phoenix once RIGHT before they changed their name and were literally saying "next week we're gonna change our name to Lo and the Magnetics" haha so their set was about half kingpins half magnetics. They rip so hard!
Houston! i saw your reference to Ryan Scroggins on the ska scenes discussion, I was trying to make it out to the summerfest thing today to see them but couldn't make it. very disappointed.
