"ASK NOT WHAT YOUR SKA BAND CAN DO FOR YOU........."

OK people, here's a thought. Instead of sitting around bleating about how bad the ska scene is in "Dog Patch" or where ever you live, why don't you do some thing about it?. Has your fav Ska band got a "Street Team"?, Is there anything YOU can do to promote Ska music in your area. If we say it's a given that, (Almost) all publicity, is, (Almost always) good publicity, If you are any good at Graffic design, why not mock up a new logo or poster your band can use, or, next time you are at a gig, why… Continue

The Adjusters Our Town.

This video keeps getting deleted by ignorant idiots who, just don't listen, or understand. The song is a protest about life in Chicago, the economic down turn, and AGAINST a local polititians answer of closing the borders down, and removing immigrants, as an answer. One that the band members, and i, are firmly against. The Adjusters consisted of Jason Packer, Daraka Kenric, Larimore-Hall, Jessica Basta, Matt Parker, Rench, and several dozen friends and guests. Formed at the university of Chic… Continue

The Specials back on stage after 30 years.

The first thing that strikes you, when the re-formed Specials take to the stage after more than a quarter of a century, is how good they look. They are all in their fifties, all of them fathers, and the last time they all played together was 28 years ago. Yet there are no bald patches or paunches, and they race around as if they’re in training for a sprint race. Apart, of course, from Terry Hall, who stands stock still, surveying the crowd with the baleful look of old, spitting sarcasm from a sl… Continue

4th Wave

The question is, time for a 4th wave or a return to basics?. If you don’t know the history, how can you move forward, this is as true for life in general, as it is for ska music. Too many of the groups around now, that claim to play ska today, really don’t have a clue, and are playing anything but ska, it’s just not good enough to play thrash, skate/surf/hardcore punk, toss in the odd horn break, maybe a nod towards a 4/4 beat, and claim to be 3rd wave ska. They don’t get it, they have no bal… Continue

Making Ends Meet

"The life of a musician, particularly if you play music that is not quite the mainstream can be difficult. Take The Resignators for example. The six people who make up the band all have jobs outside of the band, Ellen is a teacher, Naf makes tacos, Tom is a security guard, Beau has a host of hospitality jobs, Chris is searching for work and I'm a security supervisor of a shopping centre. Not really all that glamorous is it? We all have to balance the making of music, work, family / social life… Continue
