Maybe Jeff is a stone cold capitalist who has been playing poor for many years, building a devoted fan base, and then announcing a break up in order to create hype. Now, because everyone is afraid BTMI is about to go away forever we're all going to his shows and throwing money in his direction.

Or maybe Jeff just can't stop because he's nuts.

He said there were a few things they wanted to do as a band before breaking up, Australia was one and I think a full band tour in South America was another.

The Smith Street Band played with them a few weeks ago in Brooklyn. They were really great and I picked up their latest CD after the show. If you haven't heard them, make sure to see them when you go.

If all works out I was hoping on going down to their Sydney show as well. It's a great excuse to go camping down the East Coast.

I just got back, I didn't much care for the opening act "Star Gang Affiliate" or something like that. But Bouncing Souls and Bosstones had the entire crowd moving for most of the night. I'll see if I can't get some of my pictures uploaded.

Moufy ruled. Souls were their predictable boring live show. Dogmatics didn't impress. Soul Radics are great and everyone should check them out. Real good ska/reggae. Convictions were pretty awesome skapunk too. Pretty good for their first US show. Amazing Royal Crowns didn't look like they played their last show 11 years ago. They were on fire all night. Big D still sucks. Bosstones killed it every night. I had no voice by the end of all 3 nights.

Now have a lovely picture I took of Dicky in a tux and tophat at the start of last night's show:



edit: drunk asian neighbor: you said you work at the HOB right? If you were that bouncer catching crowdsurfers up front in my pic there than I love you. You saved my head from getting crushed by people entirely too fat to be up there so many times.

Nah I quit there in September. A lot of the dickish security people left between then and now, so for the most part everyone that works there is great nowadays!

I only had 2 pictures come out alright, the rest where blurry from being pushed right as I go to take a picture.





It was my first time at the House of Blues, along with my first time seeing the Bosstones. I need to make more of en effort to get out to shows now that I have extra cash.

No idea how kosher this is, but someone expressed interest earlier in the thread: I'm in a ska band, and we have videos from a recent show. Videos NSFW due to language.

I moved around quite a bit during the entire show, but I did stay in the general area the pictures where taken from.

I ended up moving back every now and then and then having to kind of force my way back up near the front.

Some new stuff about the new Streetlight album:

Tomas posted:

Long time, eh?

So this is the time when we should be shipping out all the pre-orders for "The Hands That Thieve" and "The Hand That Thieves" but as most of you who have been posted next to your mailboxes have figured out - it hasn't shipped yet. "Streetlight, is there a silver lining amongst all this placating?" you ask - and the answer is - YES.
The album has been mastered and as proof - today we proudly provide you with the first of many samples of the new Streetlight Manifesto record. Here are two, minute-long clips of two songs that you'll hear on "The Hands That Thieve".
The release date is currently up in the air, though.
When we hear from Victory Records about when they'll be releasing the album, we will be right there to let you know. We hope to know the release date within a week or so.
We understand patience has been worn thin but we stand by this record and the work that has gone into it with such unwavering aplomb that our excitement should match yours when you hear the samples. But at the same time, we understand that you've all been very understanding with us and our delays, and deadlines that have come and gone, that we would like to compensate you accordingly. With every single pre-order (from the RISC Store) of the new album of any size (from the CD by itself to the Mega Bundle) we will be including a free live EP CD that we recorded on the "Hands That Thieve Tour" last fall. The free live EP will be an exclusive RISC Store gift and is the only professional live Streetlight Manifesto recording to date.
So once again, thank you for your continued patience and we hope this acts as an appetizer before the feast is served. Keep your napkin on your lap.

Here are the two samples:
https://soundcloud.com/pentimentomusic/sets/streetlight-manifesto-thtt

I think it sounds pretty solid between those samples and some live videos posted earlier in the thread. Plus since I preordered the CD back in October, I'm pretty excited about the professional live EP too.

Seems to be a lot more latin influence than previous albums. And by the time I get my drat hoodie from the pre-order it's going to be too hot to wear it, dammit Florida.

Holy poo poo, Tokyo Ska Paradise actually got US distribution for their latest album and it's on iTunes and Spotify. It's a fuckin ska miracle.

Now everyone can hear the weirdly translated but cool as poo poo song they did with Angelo Moore from Fishbone.

I don't think they can make a bad album. They cover a couple of jazz standards too.

I just hope this means their back library can get a US distributor too. World Ska Symphony never got a release here :(

e: The album reminds me of Perfect Future and if you love their trainwreck English drunk singing and beautiful horn melodies like I do there's a lot to like here. A lot of both.
