I saw a band where the bassist did that once. It was weird.

Oh woe of woes. I have to choose between Strike Anywhere and the Loved Ones or SGR, Badfish and Distorted Penguins on my birthday. Oh noes!

Flip a coin! Heads, Strike Anywhere, because they have heads, and tails, Distorted Penguins, because penguins have tails.

I just realized I subconsciously stole a Friends joke. But then again, the joke isn't that clever, and I could have just forgotten about it and made it up by myself. Either way, just flip a coin

It looks like Badfish is headlining. The cover band is headlining. Screw that.

Howards Alias are playing here tonight. And tomorrow night. And I don't think I'm going to either. It's like the two homecoming parties for their new album.

They're playing with a bunch of bands, I think it's Freaks Union, Sonic Boom Six, and Grown At Home tonight, and Twofold and Fireapple Red tomorrow. Eurgh, I suck, I should be out there having good times but I can't be bothered :lol:

Apparently the new album isn't very ska anyway.

Wanted to come and thank you guys who, without even knowing it (due to my awesome lurking skills) have helped me learn a bit about ska :) Thanks guys.

/fades away again

I thought ska went in the punk forum.....oh well....hey guys check out [url=http://www.theskunk11.com]The Skunk 11[/url] It's an 11-person ska band from Pittsburgh. That means 3 types of sax, 1 valve trombone, 2 trumpets, drummer, 2 guitars, bass, keys

Says the liar with 2000+ posts;)

Checking out the Skunk...

or would if that website worked.

I have a cd from a band called Skunks. The title is Mixed Nuts. Is that the same band? Were they on Moon Records in 95?

[QUOTE=ihatecelebrities]Haha I don't know if Big D's bassist always does this, but throughout their whole set yesterday he was making weird faces along with the music. I've seen them three times and I've never noticed that before. Maybe he was just really high this time.[/QUOTE]

Is he bald? Because I remember seeing a bald crazy *** bassist and I think it might have been with Big D.

Actually, I think he is bald(ing)..

2000 posts perhaps, but this is only my second post (the one you quoted being my first :thumb: ) in a ska thread. I've been posting in other areas of the forums whilst spying on you lot and your secret ska-ways...

you're right....they're site reminds me of the lemmiwinks site back when it existed....

Go with SGR, thoes guys are just so cool. Theyre a bit older looking bunch of guys. Good times.

I've never heard SGR. I would go to Strike anywhere. I'm seeing them tuesday, and I can't wait.

Any of you guys like Satori? A friend gave me an album thingy and its awesome, i'm tellin you.

I need more ska in my life. Some bands to start with?

Yeah Satori are awesome, it's Steve Borth's side project

I was gonna buy the Satori CD last weekend, as they had it on the Do The Dog stall for only £7, unfortunately I completely ran out of money :upset:

I finally got the Bedouin Soundclash CD through in the post today!!!! :D I happened to be visiting my mum in hospital this afternoon after work, it's about an hour's journey from where I live to the hospital so I listened to it all the way there and back, and oh man it's so awesome. Seriously, that CD [B]is[/B] summer, and it's one of the best I've bought in a long while. Everyone buy it! :thumb:

I got it at Warped Tour (after I saw them :)) and the only disappointment is that they don't have the song New Year's Day on it. That song was definitely the best one they played, and it was like a cover of five songs in one, the ones I can remember where they took a verse or chorus or two from is Police and Thieves, Guns of Brixton, A Message to You Rudy and Johnny Appleseed

Yeah my friend Alex saw them at Warped, and said they did that medley and what songs were in it, and that they were awesome. They're playing Reading/Leeds festivals over here, first band of the first day at Reading, brilliant start to the festival for me :D And the aforementioned friend, Alex, should be putting them on at London on their mini-tour afterwards. Which will be wicked :)

‘Club Ska’ have been asked by Laurel’s family to communicate the very sad news that Laurel Aitken – ‘The Godfather of Ska’ passed away this morning at approximately 8am at Glenfield Hospital in Leicester, England. At the time of writing the cause of death was believed to be a massive heart attack.[/QUOTE]

When i saw Streetlight they were with Gym class Heroes and there singer always did that.

[QUOTE=sketchyjoe]I saw a band where the bassist did that once. It was weird.[/QUOTE]
haha yeah same here. it may have been Big D since they played at that show with the face-making bassist, but I don't think it was.

Maybe it's just ska bassists in general.

Has anyone ever heard of the band, Face First? I don't know how popular they were because they were a local band for me. But they were ****ing awesome. They ditched the horns and formed the pop-punk act, Houston Calls.

I'll YSI some stuff if anyone's interested.

Is it just me, or did the latest rant disappear on streetlight's site?

The "sink or swim, it all begins today" one.

jesus christ dude. i was about to start a thread asking about cool ska bands, but you beat me. way to go.


with mad caddies you forgot the sweetest song....... weird beard :lol: i love that song

Yeah, that guy was a bit odd. Picking his nose and such.



Bye bye LA

One of the guys in Anti-Flag (I think it's the drummer) makes faces while playing. He opens his mouth and his tongue like flops around and stuff....I've noticed I do that while taking tests though. I think it's a concentration thing.
