Fishbone. Spend the money that you would have spent on the slackers show;)

For anybody interested, there is a video of Streetlight playing Keasbey Nights up at [url]http://www.punkrockvids.com/downloads.html[/url]
It should be near, if not at, the top of the page.

So Fishbone and Slightly Stoopid it is. I listened to another Slightly Stoopid song and that is good sh[SIZE=2]i[/SIZE]t. Now to get some of my non ska-liking friends to come with me..

I'm in it. Being in the front row as I was. I believe you can catch a glimpse at the end, and also maybe at some other points. Minty.

I'm also in the Duff Muffin video. The person moving their head and not a lot else next to the skanking people, right at the front (I was conserving my energy for Streetlight).

Haha when the crowd is singing along to Keasbey Nights you can faintly hear their English accents

That's what everyone on the Skachilles board is saying but you know I can't really hear it! Apparently it sounds Northern, how odd! Seeing as it was in London haha :lol:

You schrazy brits and your music!

But anyway, can we all agree on that Bomb the Music Industry is one of the coolest bands ever?

I can agree with that

Is the music industry really tangible? I mean, sure, record label headquarters are. But how can you bomb so many? You just can't!

D[SIZE=2]a[/SIZE]mn my friends are lame. I asked one of them if he wanted to go (he is always anxiously asking me when the next ska show is, but everytime there is one he finds some excuse and doesn't end up going) and said sure as long as my other friend who has a car is coming. This guy has been to a couple shows with me, he really digs Streetlight but that's about it, and he plays soccer pretty much all year round with practice like every weekday. But the show starts at 8:30 and I knew he would be done by then, but it turns out he and the friend I initially asked had a project due the next day along with a final in the same class that day. WTF

But I got another friend to come with me, actually he's thinking it over right now because he's got a French final the following day, but I'm pretty positive he will come with me.

So...

I've been listening to the first Hippos album and not really liking it. I mean... I guess its good an all, but I love their second and third album where they're closer to Motion City Soundtrack than Mustardplug. Does that make me a bad ska kid:(

Yes. Neville Staples is on his way to your house now to remove your license to skank.

He will also take your TV and give you a color one instead.

6/9 - Fishbone, Slightly Stoopid and Beautiful Girls @ The Roseland, Portland, Oregon
 

Ok so I get there and I find out it's $18 instead of the advertised $15 price. No biggy, but my friend and I had to go back to the car and pay the rest in quarters. We get in and some band is playing, I didn't know who they were, so I just assumed it was one of the listed bands, Beautiful Girls. They were pretty good reggae from Australia, you guys should check them out. As most opening bands, they didn't get the crowd going that much, but people were moving. Their keyboardist had some crazy *** instrument that was like a mini-keyboard that you blew into with a hose, so I called it a keymarnica. Didn't see all the set, but great reggae 8/10

Inbetween sets I saw my neighborhood friend and his dad, and I was surprised because I thought all my friends liked bad music. Fishbone began with an air raid alarm or whatnot and crazy-talk from the singer. I'm not enough of a Fishbone fan to know what the hell this chit chat is from, but it was getting the crowd quite riled up. Their opening song was Party at Ground Zero, and I would have loved to skank to it, but it was really crowded and the pit was too far away. I'm too subconscious to dance by myself anyways. Throughout their set, I smell more and more weed and see more and more people lighting up, so that was pretty funny. Fishbone's performance is one of the greatest I've seen and extremely crazy. The singer is incredibly nuts and practically takes off all his clothes; he's one of the most energetic musicians I've ever seen (he did a few cartwheels during their set). I only recognized about four of their songs, but nonetheless they were all awesome. The only thing that was disappointing was that they didn't play Skankin' to the Beat and I didn't skank to their beats save a few times. OH YEAH, once when I started skaning I got pushed into some girl and she punched me in the back. One of my new favorite live bands 10/10

By the time Slightly Stoopid get on stage the place reeks of marijuana (:D :D) and the place is crowded as hell.Their set begins with the two drummers doing some crazy drum solo thing to get us riled up. Soon after the other members enter the stage and everyone's going crazy. After the first song (they were playing a fast punk song) I get pushed into the pit (by that time it was huge so it would have been innevitable) and get pushed all over the place, I was a little to the left of the stage about 15 feet back and at the end of the song I was near the front in the middle. Then they played some reggae songs, and everyone around me was singing along, so that made me feel a little awkward, being surrounded by all these die hard fans and I'm just bobbing my head with ym elbows crossed. Oh well, still good ****. So they begin to play another fast, somewhat ska song so a mosh/skank pit is made, and it gets really crazy. I think in this pit my shoe fell off, but I picked it up quickly and held on to it for the rest of the song and continued skanking. Fortunately the sogn ended about 20 seconds later. I stayed in the pit for two more songs, the last song I was in it I got knocked the hell down but some guy picked me up right away. That's what I love about shows, you get knocked down, but then someone's there to help you immediately. So after that song I get on the outskirts and relocate my friend who I had lost about six songs back. Unfortunately, he had to go so we had to go about two songs later, so we left and I said good bye to some senior friends there and my friend's dad. I hate having to miss like half a set of one of the main bands, but despite the punches and falling down and kicks to the shin, it was an awesome show, definitely worth the 18 bucks. Slightly Stoopid get a 9/10 only because I wasn't able to stick around for the whole set.

Summary for the lazy readers:
-Had to pay $18 instead of $15, almost didn't have the cash
-Beautiful Girls are an awesome reggae band from Australia
-I expected there to be lots of smoking there, but **** reggae people and their marijuana!
-Fishbone are insane.
-I got punched in the back for getting pushed into some chick
-Slightly Stoopid are awesome and get some intense pits going. So intense I nearly lost my shoe and got knocked down a couple times
-Great show

I went to the Streetlight show at Call the Office in London, Ontario yesterday and it was an amazing show. Didn't really catch much of the opening bands but Streetlight was fantastic. They almost didn't play their encore because Tomas just recently found out he has asthma and the club being probably 50C+ degrees and sweaty didn't help much. Being a good guy, he did decide to come back out an play. A bunch of my friends hunt out with the band for an hour or so outback before we had to leave. All of them are great guys.

The Kodiaks have been one of my favourite bands latley. They're getting really good and are going to have their first full length out soon.

How many people were in the band?

When I saw them there were just 3. Bassist, Guitarist and Drummer.



Does anyone listen to [url=http://www.thepainpage.com/]Pain[/url]. THey have like 5 releases but I don't remember hearing anyone talk about them. The song Comeback off of their latest (i think) Jabberjaw is a sick song.

They had three, but the keyboardist from Fishbone played with them in some of their songs

I just went to my local record store and was looking for a fishbone album, but they were all out. So I was just wandering through the used cd section and saw two Chris Murray albums for $6 bucks a piece. I bought The 4 track Adventures of Venice Shorline Chris and I love it. I'm going back tommorow to get the other one, which was called Raw. I might also check some King Apparatus. This guy is awsome!

I was at a record store i found A huge cd with a billlion Ska/Regge Tracks but it was like 60 bucks and i didnt have the money.

I've liked ska for a while and have some stuff (like madness, mad caddies) but didn't really know where to go from there so I got some new CD thats out in the UK "Suited and booted: essential mod&ska" I think it's called.

May not have the best stuff on it for the bands that are on there...I wouldn't really know, but I think it's definitely gonna get me into some new stuff.

Anyone know if The Aquabats are still touring with their horn section? They have no horns on the new album and I was wondering if this means that they arent playing their old songs on tour. Thanks in advance.

I don't think the would have.

I'm just getting into Ska. Thanks for that list, I'll check out some of those bands.

What cds would you reccomend me? I like stuff like Operation Ivy, The Aquabats, Fishbone, and Reel Big Fish. I want some other, better ska, and I don't know what bands/cds I should look at.

Check out Assorted Jelly Bean's self titled

I finally got around to listening to the Flaming Tsunamies.

Refuse to Die is sick.

That is hardly ska.

Its good, and it has enough ska to go in this thread. Thats all I really care about.

Refuse to Die is the hardest song they have up. The other stuff has more noticable ska.

[QUOTE=circlejerk me]Check out Assorted Jelly Bean's self titled[/QUOTE]
Thanks. I'll check it out.

my neighbor has this ska disc set. its got mostly 80's ska bands, with a few early 90's. but its really good. such bands on it are judge dread, international beat, big 5, the hotknives.. etc.

[QUOTE=ihatecelebrities]a mini-keyboard that you blew into with a hose, so I called it a keymarnica.[/QUOTE]

:lol: That's called a Melodica, Leila from Sonic Boom Six has one, though I prefer your name for it!

That was an awesome review of the show, by the way :D

Once I went to see this band upstairs in a pub, and when we went in it smelled like a guinea pig hutch, when we came out it smelled like a guinea pig hutch + a lot of weed. Strange indeed. Ska gigs always have more people smoking weed than other gigs, though.

Except Goldie Lookin Chain, which was pretty bad as well :lol:
