Ah. In pop punk i have JESS's LOCAL BAND OF THE WEEK.
you should check it out.

I thought your avatar flashed Hearts and Horns... but it doesn't:(

I actually saw a Skemo band once.

They sucked balls.

I could imagine.

The only good skemo band is The Impossibles, but they make the entire genre worthwhile.

I have an Impossibles CD but I've never listened to it. Which skemo band did you see joe? I had to review the Sonic Boom Six CD for Rancid News this morning whilst in a somewhat hungover state....Blah I probably didn't do it justice.

So much good stuff coming up.....
King Blues are playing tomorrow but I'm not going (!! shock horror)
Ska/punk alldayer on Saturday, some well bad bands like Fandangle are playing, but also some awesome bands like Breakneck and my mate's new band FreeFallFelix (check them out they're gonna be safe [url]http://www.myspace.com/freefallfelix[/url])
Mumrah and Big Hand playing with a couple of my mates' bands on Sunday
[You Me And The Atom Bomb on Monday but this isn't a ska show]
Aggrolites with The King Blues and the Meow Meows on Tuesday in Brighton....mission but it should be worth it!
Then on Wednesday I might go see FreeFallFelix again or I might be heading to see Aggrolites again in London if they're awesome in Brighton

.......So basically anyone who's in London/Brighton should come out to these shows

Saw Stza Crack again on Monday with The King Blues, I thought Stza was pretty cool actually but he rambled too much. He came on really late and everyone had pretty much left, haha. Everyone else hated him. He totally shut down my friend who got onstage to sing along, I felt kinda bad for him cus he loves all LoC/CV stuff. King Blues played a blinder, haha, poor Stza having to follow them!

I'm tired of hating you, so :heart:

Freefallfelix are very good, though the vocal distortion is a bit weird. And their myspace page is annoying.

Go see The Aggrolites. They are incredible. Love them.

There was a local skemo band back in Portland, and they were ****ing ****

High School Football Heroes broke up because they spent 5 years in debt and no label would touch their music.

Reading the last blog post is like reading a story you know won't end well:(

[QUOTE=sketchyjoe]Chief Libido[/QUOTE]

Argh, Chief Libidio are teh suck, they aren't skemo they're like Drive Thru pop-punk + horns. But it's ok cus now they split and formed FreeFallFelix :D

Yeah Kith let's be friends, eh :) haha

As far as ska goes I'm quite the fan of RBF. I just love the comedic edge they put on almost everything.

RBF is a good time. Aaronn and Scott have some good chemistry on stage.

Oh god, Aggrolites were SO GOOD I went to see them twice.

Quick!

I need 5 top ska albums, from 5 different ska bands, NOW.

...Please?

Ummmm You will need more than just mine to make a good decision

Keasbey Nights - Catch 22
Everything Goes Numb - Streetlight Manifesto
Turn Off The Radio - Reel Big Fish
The Specials - The Specials
Resignation - Rx Bandits(more personal choice)

Thanks Catch.

I have Streetlight's EGV and Keasby Nights. I've heard Rx's old stuff, I've heard of Fish and the Specials. I'll definitely check them out.

Ok, now do you know any ska albums that are more like The English Beat? Like more two tone, or whatever its called?

Thanks again.

The Specials are the fathers, mothers and kings of two tone/second wave ska. Check them out for sure. Then there's also for example The Selecter and Madness.

The Toasters are my favorite 2-Tone band. And they still tour, which is always a plus. Mark Foggo's Skasters have a great sound.


My top 5 the bands' albums

The Flatliners - Destroy to Create
The Arrogant Sons of Bitches - 3 Cheers for Dissapointment
The Impossibles - Anthology
The Toasters - Don't Let the Bastards Grind You Down
The Hippos - Heads are Gonna Roll

I would like to say, i am offically better than all of you

Wednesday, November 8th 2006.


Master of Ceremony will be Tony Barnes with DJ Chocolate on the wheels of steel.

Anticipate a scintillatingly dynamite performance.

Come and experience the foundation of ska. Come and do the rocksteady and have a roots, rockin good time with Prince Buster as he performs such classics as Oh Carolina, Madness, Judge Dread, Al Capone, Freezing Up Orange Street and Ten Commandments, just to name a few.

This is a show you cannot miss. A ska rocking time for all.

I could go see The Slackers on tuesday, but my friends won't go, and it is a bit expensive.

[QUOTE=Henrik;13270699]I could go see The Slackers on tuesday, but my friends won't go, and it is a bit expensive.[/QUOTE]

Definitely go. The Slackers are amazing. Definitely one of my favorite ska bands ever. The most talented current ska band, IMO.

That Hippos album(heads are gonna roll) is really good. I must try and get that again.

And who needs friends when you're dancing anyway.

Yeah, saturday, a guy came to the show alone, and I walked up to him, and was like. chilllll with us.
so like dude, go alone, hang with girls.

Fine I think I will do so then :D
I like girls at ska-shows. So much funner that the ones comming to the punk shows.
