Alright so this afternoon/tonight I'm going to be uploading some more "local" music (as in from Syracuse), this time it's Razbari Sumthing. They really don't mind since they're broken up now and I want more people that aren't from Syracuse to hear them

Basically what I'm saying is post if you want some rad tunes, or IM me tonight, or something

I saw these guys the first year I went to Ska Weekend. I was thining "what the gently caress is their name and why are they on the main stage?" HOOOOOOOOLY poo poo can their horn players play. Saddly when they lost their drummer on of the trumpets started playing the drums. It sucked because their songs lost all the cool stuff the 2 trumpets could/would do. Still very good band and I listen to both of their albums often.

And the other trumpet is pulling double duty as the singer when they do reunion shows, now

I can't wait to go home at Christmas and see them play again

Last time they played one of their oldest songs, and it's a terrible song, and they couldn't remember any of the words and oh my god it was just spectacular

I saw that today. Throwdown tickets go on pre-sale tomorrow, public sale Saturday. I'm gonna be going to the 27th and 28th shows. They're at the House of Blues this year, not the Middle East. :( And there are only 3 dates this year. Kinda sad, but they can sell more tickets if they play the HoB.

From their site "This year's Throwdown is shaping up to be something special as we'll be joined by past Throwdown heroes and hometown zeros alike. Please check back for details."

"Hometown zeroes"? I really really hope this means Darkbuster is coming back. They were awesome and I really miss them.

So, it took forever, but Sonic Boom Six's newest album (City of Thieves) is apparently now available in the US! I didn't see any announcements, but I check Amazon MP3 every so often, and it's listed (just bought it, $8.99). iTunes does not appear to have it.

Here's a link (with SA's affiliate referrer if I did it right): http://www.amazon.com/City-Of-Thieves/dp/B002RB14J6/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&s=dmusic&qid=1254739912&sr=1-6

Not sure if the list is being updated, but these guys have been around since the 3rd wave. Really good Trad ska style band from San Jose, CA. called Monkey. They used to play shows with Skankin Pickle and Let's Go Bowling back in the day. Currently they are on Mike Park's Asian Man record label.

My old bass player plays for them now. Donelle is one hell of a bass player and she got in with a great group of people. Certainly is a long way from the days in Missoula, MT. Now I just need to get them up here to play. We haven't had any good ska since the Skoidats used to play here on a regular basis.

I can vouch that they in fact do not give a poo poo, I asked the least time I saw them :) .

Aw man guess who just updated, you may have heard of them, this band called Streetlight Manifesto

11.17.2009 | Still Alive, Still Kicking
Hello there everyone. Let's jump straight into it, shall we?

1) 99 SOR. We're being buried with emails regarding the release date but we can't announce one because we don't know when it is. What we can say is this: some record labels (not naming names here, so it can't be "libel") are just plain horrendous. That's pretty much all we can say for now. Seriously though, it's a sad fact that the bullshit bands have to put up with from some labels isn't worth the benefits (ha!) of being on said labels.

That being said, it looks like 99SOR: Volume One will be released on vinyl via the Pentimento Music Company long before it comes out on CD or digitally. Stay tuned for a release date for the vinyl. We'll also be posting clips from the record in the next few days, along with artwork, since it is in fact finished and just sitting around (you have no idea how frustrating it is).

2) People are also asking when we'll be hitting the road again. We have no tours planned as of this very minute but we are planning our 2010 now. More importantly, though, we will be heading into the studio soon (as is a particular electricity deficient collective..) and we don't plan on touring until we have a few records to release.

3) The Risc Store just got a bunch of new items, Streetlight and otherwise. 'Tis the season yada yada blah blah blah..

4) During our downtime, our resident tenor sax genius will be giving lessons. Straight from the Conti's mouth:

Jim Conti will be offering saxophone lessons along with music theory tutoring/instruction in the Montgomery County, Maryland/NW D.C. area. Individual instruction for all levels on alto, tenor, or baritone. Lessons can include classical and/or jazz and improvisational instruction. Anyone interested can contact him (serious inquiries please) at jim_conti@live.com for more information.

Obviously we are very fond of our Jimmy, so no stalkers or creeps please.

That is all, see you at the next update, with soundclips!


Putting heavy money on Tomas "leaking" the album around the time the vinyl comes out

If the record is finished, one of them should rip it onto a laptop, pop over to a Starbucks or somewhere else with public wifi, and throw it up on a public torrent tracker or something. It's really frustrating that they have a whole album of material that nobody can hear because Victory are a bunch of jerks.

"Identity Crisis" Murderer Wild Guess #333:Prince "Lady Killer Charming "Well, I AM the Adversa"



Last week was a great concert week for me. We Are The Union on Tuesday, Ska is Dead IV on Friday, and Less Than Jake on Sunday. And Art Brut on Thursday, but you don't care about that.
-We Are The Union only played like 25 minutes, but were great. I can't wait for the new full length.
-Ska Is Dead IV was a mixed bag. It was supposed to be in a smaller venue that shut down, and I think the move killed it. Yes, it added a bar, but made it feel empty. Last Martyrs of A Lost Cause played their last show there and they had to use a fill-in vocalist since the singer quit. I'm going to miss those guys. Also, it was nice to see Mustard Plug again. Apparently a new album is in the works.
-Less Than Jake. I had to suffer through the Casualties, but LTJ loving killed. They played Short on Ideas/One Last Cigarette in the encore, it was loving awesome.

Hooray for new Streetlight merch (namely the screenprints), boo to Victory. Are Victory just being dicks on purpose or something?

Finally, inspired by the end of the decade lists I see popping up everywhere, I'm starting to try and throw together a best of the decade mix. One for 2000-2004, and the other 2005-2009. If you had to pick 5 ska/ska-related songs from the past decade, what would you pick?

Mysterious Aftertaste
May 20, 2004

So Marigold, my love, you've had too much to drink...

Yay, a list. Not putting them in order or anything.

Less Than Jake - The Ghosts of You and Me
Five Iron Frenzy - See the Flames Begin to Crawl
Streetlight Manifesto - Here's to Life
RX Bandits - In her Drawer
The JB Conspiracy - Pipe Down

But again I would accept pretty much any LTJ (well other than IWTOC) or SM song.


Also got the blue jumping man SM poster and the second-EP-release-BOTAR-cd-cover poster on the way.

Forums Dragoon
Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Jacknife to a Swan
Streetlight Manifesto - What a Wicked Gang Are We
Planet Smashers - Unstoppable
Less than Jake - The Science of Selling Yourself Short
Five Iron Frenzy - On Distant Shores. This a bit of a copout, because it's to get "Every New Day" played within the last decade, I'm not sure if I can count the live version off the End is Here. Failing that, if I didn't pick "See The Flames Begin to Crawl" I'd just be doing to be contrarian.

I'm in agreement that anything from SM is a great inclusion.

---- Stand outs from my ska Pandora station that I hadn't really heard of before, may be a bit older, and I feel like mentioning:
Suburban Legends - Bright Spring Morning
Seventy Seven - The Furious
Get Along - [spunge]
Ego - [spunge]
Fortune and Fame - The K.G.B
Confessional - Upstanding Youth
Think Straight Again - The Barrymores
