SkaWes posted:It's not so much that I don't like new styles, I am not stuck on third wave, I just never hear of any new bands. The only two ska albums that came out this year that I can think of are Mad Caddies (Which was great) and Reel Big Fish (Which isn't really ska, but it was still a great album, I love RBF) SkaWes posted:I am just sad when I think of some of the bands that I loving loved, that died out. Spring Heeld Jack, Jeffries Fan Club, The Hippos, Edna's Goldfish (Who's lead singer looks like Jarred from the Subway commercials), and others that I am forgetting about. I'm sad that in high school, I missed the chance to see the Hippos because it was like on a Tuesday night or something. I said, Oh they'll be back!

I once got to see the RX bandits, Home Grown, Reel Big Fish, Zebrahead, and Goldfinger all in one concert for the local college radio station.

I don't know why. Reel big fish plays more than 30 minutes of music at a show? Cut out the jokes, and that's about it.

I was listening to GNV FLA, and does anyone else find it weird that in the song, City Of Gainesville, one of the lyrics are "I may be going broke but Im never broken down" Considering "The Science of Selling yourself short" is exactly that. Then again, it seems like on every single album they've had in the last few years, there is at least one song about leaving town.

Saw LTJ/Goldfinger tonight. I'm glad I caught Suburban Legends, they put on a good show. Big D? That was loving noise. Absolutely horrible. I was never into them before, and I thought this might swing my vote, but the lead singer is horrible. LTJ only played 3 new songs. Does the lion still roar? Summon Monsters, and Abandon Ship. They also played The Ghosts of Me and You, Gainsville Rock City, Johnny Quest thinks we're sell outs, History of a Boring Town, Great American Sharpshooter, Plastic Cup Politics, Last One Out of Liberty City, How's My Driving, Doug Hastings? The Science of Selling Yourself Short, All My Best Friends Are Metalheads. I think that was it. I don't think they played a single song off of In With The Out Crowd. Goldfinger was the last band, and they always put on a good show.

So... one song? The rest seems like songs that a lot of non-political bands have talked about. The R.X. bandits, they are not.

Update on BotAR and SM. A few years ago, when BOTAR (Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution) released it's first (and so far only) record, there was a mention in the liner notes of a large project called "99 Songs of Revolution". This is a collection of 99 cover songs, spanning all kinds of genres, all kinds of artists. Now, a few years later, it's all going down. And here are the details. Some of them, at least. The 99 Songs of Revolution Project will consist of 8 full length records. Two from SM, two from BOTAR, and two each from two other SM related groups. Yes, this is indeed the record that Victory mistakingly posted as coming out in Oct of 08. Not sure how they got that date, but it was never even a possibility. The first SM record for 99SOR will be out in early 2009, simultaneously with another of the 8 CDs (no, not the BOTAR one). Victory will be putting out the CDs and mp3s and Pentimento will be releasing and distributing the vinyl. We are aware of our reputation to take forever to release records and miss our self imposed deadlines, so we are not giving anyone solid dates, not even our labels. Early 09 release, that's it. We are, though, working hard on it. The demos are all but done and we head into the studio to begin tracking in October. Our upcoming tour schedule, as you know, is borderline impossible/insane, so cut us some slack. This will be a nice way for us to get into the studio and put out some "new" music as well as tide you guys over until our next full length. It's been a project that's been on the back burner for too long, and it's time to do something about it. Stay tuned to this site as well as the Pentimento site for more info over the coming weeks. Also make sure to keep peeking in on our other sites, as we're in the middle of working on a few projects that have been dormant for way too long. I'll probably be dead before these all come out.

the_Vandal posted:Cheer Up is my second favorite album by them too (tied with Turn The Radio Off). Although I thought the album they were angry about was We're Not Happy... I wonder if I should see if I could talk my friend that lives in Nashville into taking off work so we can hang out and see the Streetlight/RBF show later this month. I really wanna see them both but I don't want to inconvenience the guy. I thought We're Not Happy was pretty much made to get them out of their record contract.

In my defense, 99% of the older ska bands don't come within 100 miles of the Omaha area. xdirtypinkox posted:Hey I don't mean this to come off as Elitist but Hepcat is AN AMAZING show. I consider seeing them as one of the great accomplishments of my life right along with seeing the Skatalites. Do yourself a favor and forget about seeing RBF and go see Hepcat.
