Quest For Glory II posted:The only ska singers I appreciate are Chris Murray and maybe Reese Roper for his ability to hit literally any note in any octave (but I know people who hate his voice too, sooooo). If you don't like Reese Roper's voice you literally need to get hosed. I agree with guppy about Buck-O-Nine, I really like them but the singer grates on me if I try to listen to them often. As for ska singers I really like, I love Matt Embree's voice but his best vocal work really came after Rx moved away from ska so I don't really know if I count that. Even though they are basically done at this point (and one left the band) I'll always love Aaron Barrett and Scott. I also really like Reed Wolcott and Chuck Robertson. Also if you don't like Dicky Barrett's growling, then you should be allowed to listen to ska.

I remember last time I saw the Bosstones someone tried to give Dicky a beer. He said, "Thanks, but that's your beer, you should drink it. I mean, who am I?" The guy yelled back, "YOU'RE DICKY loving BARRETT!" Dicky said "Excellent point" and drank the beer. Then they played a cover of Rudy Can't Fail. gently caress I want to see the Bosstones again. I wish they toured more.

My favorite Bosstones story is from the time my friend yelled "Detroit Rock City" during a set break, and Dicky looked at him before kind of shaking his head and moving into the next song. I guess "Rudy Can't Fail" is a better appreciated contribution to their catalog than the other tribute comps they appeared on in the '90s.

I love that he stops doing his thing to yell at people for being assholes in the pit. When I saw them he stopped mid-song to yell at some guy for starting a fight. The band is still playing, Ben is still dancing, Dicky has stopped singing and is just yelling at a guy. Good times. Also, Rudy Can't Fail is a better appreciated contribution because it's Rudy Can't loving Fail. It's hard to beat the Clash.

It is nice to see that people still listen to ska and go see ska shows these days. I'm in a band called The 4 Aspirin Morning, and we have been trying to start a punk/ska revival in Madison for a while now, and we are starting to see a few more bands come out and play and more fans come to see the shows. While a few national acts stop by a couple of times a year, before we started there was little to nothing on the local scene for ska. The one notable ska band from Madison, I Voted For Kodos, broke up a few years ago. We have been gigging for over a year now, and have played a few bigger shows/venues, including Summerfest last year, and are just putting the finishing touches on our fist EP, as well as 2 music videos. Here is our site with 2 songs off the demo we made last year, and 1 song that we did for the Madison area Christmas album. As soon as our EP is finished we will be getting the videos and music up on the site. http://www.4amband.com/ And here is our FaceBook site: http://www.facebook.com/!/4aspirinmorning Let me know what you think of the songs, they are our most "3rd wave" the rest of our stuff is a little darker, and more grown up than your usual "Reel Big Fish/Suburban Legends" style stuff.

Todd Hembrook (Deal's Gone Bad), Obi Fernandez (Westbound Train), and Glen Pine (The Slackers) are some guys that can really sing when given the chance. I also do enjoy alot of bands that have some pretty bad vocalists, but I think that is almost a requirement to be a ska band.

I had a brief love affair with ska in high school. Never thought I'd post in this thread, but as it seems to be acting as a kind of ska aggregator, I figured I'd post my friend's (recently RIPish) band, The A-OKs. Dunno if they've been mentioned yet. pop-punky ska.

Yesterday, along with 1,000-some-odd other folks, I celebrated the life of Mitchell Dubey in New Haven, Connecticut. To see the amount of impact this wonderfully positive man had on so many other people, heartbreaking as it was in spikes throughout the night, was nothing short of life-inspiring. As an added bonus, I got to spend a little bit of time with some friends who I hadn’t seen in years in the New England scene. We’re talking kids who booked shows for us when they were fifteen. Kids who we played shows for when we were eighteen. Maybe it was just the spirit of the evening, but it was nice to see that these people who I’ve lost touch with for the most part, while grown up, have not changed at their cores. They are all still fun, friendly, great people and it was just fantastic to see all of them. And so as I sit on a computer at work, I’m unable to work because I’m overflowing with energy, feeling so fortunate about being alive and having the privilege to have met the people I have over the course of, gently caress, like fifteen years playing music. It’s this spirit that I’m hoping to bring out to Seaford in a few hours, to set up drums and microphones with Tom and get crackin’ our next record Vacation, which should be out in July if all goes according to plan. Love all y’all. Jeff yesssssssssssss

I'm playing bass for Costa's new side project too, but that won't see a release until after the Bomb record is ready. Vocal Coach is seriously like the catchiest pop song Jeff's ever written. Straight up Elvis Costello style.

You should add Random Hand to list of thirdwave, saw them with RBF and Suburban Legends a few years ago, they're all awesome, that gig was pretty much what got me back into ska after a few years of listening to some terrible terrible things

hedgecore posted:I'll mention it. Do Danny/Johanna still book shows up there? They do, but Danny's kinda hesitant to book them because the last time they played, way before Scrambles or Get Warmer, it was an iPod show and people were cranky. But! There's a local DIY space that'd be willing to rent out for us, and my friend and I have been putting feelers out for bands that would potentially maybe want to play it, so if Danny is a dink have them email me, email is in the profile. e: Email's not in my profile, but it's my AIM name at gmail.

I just found this thread. Good thing I have some good news for any St. Louis area ska fans. Mustard Plug is playing the Firebird on 5/11 and MU330 will be there on 6/11. For anyone who might be interested, we have a local community radio station (88.1 KDHX) that has a 2 hour ska show every Saturday called Ska's the Limit that plays everything from First Wave up to Third Wave and all points in between along with some early reggae and rocksteady. They also archive the last two shows on the website, so you can listen in later if you miss them locally or streaming online.

So seeing the early version of Down Down Down posted the other page reminded me of some early versions of SitB songs I saw on youtube a long while back. I remember listening to these over and over in anticipation for SitB.

This is the part of the relationship where they stop hiding the drinking and become a raging alcoholic by the way.
