[QUOTE=the-UK-ska-scene]And his name is Walt Jabsco. And some people dress like him.[/QUOTE]

And he was based off an early picture of Peter Tosh from the cover of "The Wailing Wailers" S/T (The band Bob Marley came from)

And drawn by Jerry Dammers

[QUOTE=asdf23]So I checked this band out and I really really liked it. :thumb: I downloaded full throttle and liked it, then I downloaded KYAG and liked that too.
Turns out this band is still together. I think that they may have just reunited or something. They're playing a snow in chicago sort of soon. Sadly, they say that they're changing the music, or something of that sort, which is too bad. I'd love to see them in concert, but I can't. Oh well.[/QUOTE]


Yeah, they got back together after I made this.

Unfortunatly I think it is just for those few shows out in IL:(

catch 22
 

does anyone know what catch 22 is palying the the NY/NJ area?

^^Yeah, they are coming to Sayreville in 3 days on the 28th I believe, and also somewhere in New York(Poughskeepsie?) on the 29th. Those two shows are with Punchline and Socratic...I dont know if you can still get tickets.

(I just saw you in S&L. Sweet.)

Anybody else heard of, or know them?

I downloaded one of their songs, I'll listen to it right after this Streetlight song. Speaking of SM, I had a horrible dream last night. I went to their website and I was looking at the shows and they decided to finish their tour in California and to not go to the Northwest or any of Europe or Canada. I cried for six hours, at least

[QUOTE=the-UK-ska-scene]I saw Bad Manners on TV last night, and I remember how I missed them playing here the Thursday before last :upset: If the show cost less than £16 to go to, I would've gone![/QUOTE]

Before the recent rekindled interest in two-tone bands, Bad Manners used to play at a local pub here about once a month. The silly thing is, I never once got off my arse to go seem em. Now I'm sorry.

dead
 

i might go see the ska is dead tour at starland heard its going to be kick ***

does anyone happen to know who else might be playing?

ska is dead tour
 

Are you really going? Kantor just went...d00d.

yo
 

yeah but kantor licks guches..and likes alter bridge

was ryan eldred the original singer of cacth 22..i dont think he was but id like to know who the original one was

Yeah I think he was, he was one of the founding members of the band. So I think originally he sang, and then obviously Tomas came and went for Keasbey Nights.
