hedgecore posted:Hey, so I just posted my skapunk band's new CD for free in GBS, so I'll crosspost it here too! Really good job, mate. The quality isn't that great, and you probably need to work a bit on polishing it up next time you release something, but it's good, honest and passionate ska-punk - You've got flair and feeling, and that's the only thing that really matters. I could mention quite a few major ska bands I'd skip to see you guys live... Keep up the good work. Anyway, any DK'ers going to the Streetlight show in Copenhagen, in February? Long time from now, but we don't get a lot of good bands playing over here.

guppy posted:Okay, what? You're talking like you haven't seen them yet, but it's January 3 and they don't have tour dates listed past January. Yes. They do. http://www.streetlightmanifesto.com/ Pres the picture, and then "Enter Site." They have tour-dates up til the 2nd of March.

Bombajio posted:Oh man, why don't any of my friends listen to ska? I'm going to their concert in Copenhagen, if that's close enough, on the 6th. I'm mostly coming for Streetlight, though.

Reel Big Fish is giving concerts in Finland, Sweden and Latvia in February and I have no one to go with. I really have no desire to go adventuring in foreign countries alone either. Bahh.

Went to the RBF-Streetlight show in Copenhagen last night, and that poo poo was just fantastic. A local, fairly reasonable rocksteady band opened and got the crowd a little warm, and when Streetlight hit the scene everything just went crazy. By the end of their set, I was pumped up on enough adrenaline and dopamine to kill a grown elephant, and was probably on the brink of passing out from exhaustion, but god drat that was an awesome experience - Against Me!'s set on Roskilde festival was the best concert I'd been to before, and that didn't even come close to what I experienced last night.

FloppyDiskCommando posted:Call me ignorant, but I didn't even know Denmark had a ska scene. I'm actually fairly ignorant about world ska. I know there's a semi-big J-ska scene (is there a niche Japan doesn't have?) and some stuff in Brazil but elsewhere? With globalization, you can find pretty much any scene in any country. Still, compared to how little our country is, I guess it wouldn't be a stretch to say that our ska scene is reasonably well-established. The most well-known is Skalar (http://www.skalar.dk/side.php?id=7 for music), and Ill Young Skill (who opened for Streetlight and are considerably better than Skalar, imo), found at http://www.myspace.com/illyoungskill. If you want to check out some international ska of a very high caliber, I'd recommend Leningrad. They have a very fun and aggressive Russian flavour, combined with a good deal of skill. Their official sites are only in Russian and German, but you can check out one of their more famous songs on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feP-_ThCtkw. I'd recommend ignoring the idiotic home-made video, though. And Ska-P was mentioned not long ago. Also quite good, salsa-flavoured ska. Anyone who knows more international ska, please chime in.

Mysterious Aftertaste posted:Acoustic set with Tomas only. Thanks for posting this, man. I'm a big SM-fan too, so these small things are great to stumble upon. That being said, and not trying to pick a fight here, am I the only one who thinks that Tomas going solo acoustic with these songs just... Doesn't really work? At least the old stuff - Somewhere in the Between sounds pretty good (but even with that song the crowd can't keep themselves from improvising the horns between stanzas). It just isn't the same without the blasting horns and frenzied screams.

Your Japanese Dad posted:So do you guys consider Leftover Crack ska? I've never been a fan of ska but I dig Leftover Crack, but I can't seem to figure out what genre they are. I'd call them Crust Punk, but they definately have some (however insignificant they may be) ska-influences. Gay Rude Boys Unite at least proves that they feel some sort of connection to the scene. Changing topics, that new LTJ album sounds amazing. I've never been a really big fan, though I did like a lot of Pezcore. Can anyone recommend LTJ albums that are musically in the same vein as the upcoming one?

With a lot of people requesting bands, I'd like to recommend Leningrad again. It's Russian ska-punk from St. Petersburg, blending a beautiful horn-section with vodka-driven chaos and raging, frenzied vocals. For some of their older, darker stuff, I'd recommend Dachniki, and for some of their newer, more upbeat and fun, I'd recommend WWW. Both can be heard on their Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/leningradxxx

The Banana Pee posted:*Shudders* I am ashamed for liking ska now... We haven't really got anything resembling a ska scene where I live, but is it typical for people who listen to ska to go out of their way with the whole ska-fashion like these people? I don't have a problem with wearing scene-specific clothing, but what they do seems excessive. In other words, will I be beaten up at Ska Weekend for not wearing a porkpie hat?

Mysterious Aftertaste posted:I highly doubt it will be Catch 22. Let's pray to God he doesn't try out the acoustic thing again. In all seriousness, though, this is great news. That's not to say that I'm holding my breath for the early 2009 deadline. And another BotAR album can't help but be amazing, no matter how long it takes.
