The Ska Appreciation Thread!
it had to be done. Please, come one, come all! (except those who don't like ska) to talk about the joys of ska, and more importantly, tell me where to find some ska in this silly emo/hadcore-obsessed town! :P not that i have anything against emo or hardcore... but as with most other musical genres, and slap if this is being too obvious for you, but it's JUST NOT SKA!

i guess if i can't find any ska then there's only one other solution - form a ska band! but for that I need other ska-types, so anyway, come and enjoy the orgasmic (whatever blows your trumpet...) experience that is my ska appreciation thread!

I like real ska, and the other ska. I wouldn't buy a ska record but there's nothing better than a live ska band. in recent years, I have enjoyed the Mad Caddies, the Voodoo Glow Skulls, and most recently, the Supatones a great deal. 'mon the ska!

try one man race, misled youth, spaceman lance and dudload on these forums.

see also www.the44s.net www.skarsoles.co.uk and www.mr-z.net for a couple of other scottish bands that visit here as often as they can.

i promote ska gigs anytime i can, a lot of bands from household name and some other places. check out www.elluchador.tk for most of my upcoming gigs.
