A bit late but saw the Slackers last Friday. Goddamn how had I not been to one of their shows before? 2 hour set in a small venue for $12 with a band with a stage show that rivals the pre-hiatus Bosstones. They're now on my "go to any show within driving distance" list. e: although my wife and I were kind of  when one of the opening acts asked the crowd if we'd like a Prince Buster song and we were two of maybe six people who cheered.

Ive always loved The Slackers but have never managed to catch them live, I'll definitely need to put forth the effort to catch them next time they're around!

A band I'd like to get into (as I've said before, my taste in American ska music tends to run to Moon Ska rather than ska punk - they seem like they're on the right side of 1996 to me) but I'm not sure where to start with them. quote:e: although my wife and I were kind of "Prince Buster? He's not ska. Everyone knows ska is punk with horns.  "( )

Wasted Days and Redlight is the best place to start imo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4qVYwFvDgs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jInfVlaZ_DE I also really enjoy the album Self Medication https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iX_v8lEbVG8

3rd wave? RBF is a pretty good comparison I think. They even have a song called Beer! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4XXtbQatvE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RQfQzdKXDs

Yeah, Skankin Pickle would be the one I'd immediately think of. Early Thirdwave.

RxB show was awesome; hearing them with a horn section again was pretty drat cool and good. I heard from friends who saw them out on Long Island on Saturday that they gave a shoutout to The Downtown and to ASOB  Highlight of the night though was a guy who gave me props on my Mike Park t-shirt

Worry is up on Quote Unquote for download: http://quoteunquoterecords.com/qur088.htm Should be available for streaming as well. At least Spotify has it already, so I assume all of them have it. Skeezy fucked around with this message at 05:12 on Oct 14, 2016 |

Worry loving rules. Only problem I have it is almost the entire second half consists of minute-long songs that sorta blur together.

If you're west coast and don't go to at least one of these shows you're a big loser (rumor also has it that The Porkers are gonna be a Throwdown opener too)

Holy porkman! I had no idea the porkers were still gigging. I love all their stuff and was a massive fan in the nineties, but once their mailing list stopped posting updates I sort of assumed they just stopped gigging. Super excited to hear they're recording a new album.

They were dressed in Super Sentai costumes but also wearing M&M's costumes over that, they also pantomimed basically "who wants to play our instruments" to the audience and that's the story of how I ended up playing the main riff from Blitzkrieg Bop with 2 strangers over and over while the band did human bowling with the crowd e: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2sZLQQ4xyg They're actually a solid band too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4H8h8I5vLpo Snow Cone Capone fucked around with this message at 14:28 on Nov 3, 2016 |

I didn't realize they're holding it again, why'd they skip last year? I'll probably try and make it out, it's usually a good time even though the only people older than me there are the band.

Any of y'all listen to the Impossibles? They're almost unknown from what I've found, and they're so drat good. I recommend Eightball and Fatboy to start off. It's rollicking, chugging stuff. It's the meat and potatoes of ska-punk I'd say.
