The new FTA album is so goddamn good and I am so glad I bought it when I saw them this summer

That was seriously the best show I've seen. Better than the Toasters.

oh I know its good, I DL'd when they had it on their sight, but I saw them at Ska Weekend the first year I went and I gotta support them.

It's still up there afaik, along with Erin's Runaway Imagination

They need to put Most Poets Do up there, that poo poo is equally rad and if I knew their stance on people sharing it I would hook folks up

e: In other news Ben Weasel stops selling through Asian Man because he just realized Mike Park of Asian Man and Mike Park of Skankin' Pickle are the same Mike Park


I love Weasel, but come on man Pickle owned

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

Also talking to Charlie while he is drunk as gently caress about the saints while the rest of the band are trying to pack up their gear is good times.

I own a trumpet and a mellophone (french horn bent like a trumpet and uses the same fingerings as a trumpet) I got off ebay for 90 bucks shipped. Played them in a ska local ska band with a few friends for laughs.

The last 2 Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra albums, Perfect Future and PARADISE BLUE are excellent. I haven't heard their earlier stuff but I imagine it rules too.

you really can't go wrong with any of the like 15+ albums by TSPO...just be warned that they normally have several really good songs and the rest are very meh. Full Tension Beaters is still my favorite, but you can get it in the states easy. Wild Peace and Stomping on Downbeat Alley are the other 2 I would get.

On a more Ska related note - is Catch 22 no longer a band? Their last website or myspace update is at least 2 years old. While, I didn't like their last album Dinosaur sounds was alright, and they were totally kickass live even on the songs that were mediocre.

The live CD they released is one of the worst cds I have ever heard. Dinosaur Sounds was pretty bad. If they are still playing I wish they would stop because its just sad of how far they have fallen.

It looks like I'm going to get to go see the loving SPECIALS on 4/20 in NYC! We're doing a northeast tour that week and just now realized The Specials are gonna be playing on a day we don't have a show yet. This is the BEST poo poo EVER gently caress

I believe I speak for the thread here when I say gently caress you.

Why must Indianapolis suck so bad for ska bands, the only really good one we have right now is Green Room Rockers. Then add in that any major tour avoids us so I have to either go to Ohio or Chicago

So went to a show in Cincinnati on Sunday with my wife. Saw 4 bands that mattered: Green Room Rockers, The, Caroloregians, Thee Moon Invaders, and The Pinstripes. The Caroloregians are basically the Moon Invaders minus the horn section and holy poo poo these guys where good. This was the last show of their first tour here in the US I I can't wait for them to come back. But it was an absolute bitching show and I am loving sore as hell.

They said the played Fort Wayne in Indiana a few months ago, then you had to go back another 3 or 4 years for another trip to Indiana. Just once again why I dislike Indiana, all the bigger ska bands skip right through on their way to MI, or OH, or IL.

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.

:smith: One of my favorite memories from one of the Ska Weekend trips was when Jeff jumped off the stage and started playing in the middle of the pit. The microphone was basically taken away by the crowd and passed around and Jeff just kept on playing like it didn't even matter.
