Skavoovie and the Epitones is one of the best ska bands i have ever seen live. They played a 10 minute version of they're batman theme cover. During which all 10 members in the band did a solo which was a sight to see.

New Location, some good old Ska
Howdy
Well I have not posted in awhile, but for good reason. Business has brought me out west to California and has kept me busy. I live a good distance from L.A., but i have made 2 trips so far both resulting in a good show. This last trip was interesting I got to see Hepcat play the El Ray. They have not played live for 2 years and i have not seen them since a warped tour long ago.
I had a friend ditch out last minute on the show and I happened to have an extra ticket. Ended up thru selling the extra meeting some new people with similar musical tastes and a hunger for a good show. Hepcat slayed the stage with they're unmistakable motown-esqe Ska groove. It was one hell of a solid Saturday night and I look forward to the next show that comes my way. Below is a Flyer they handed out while i was leaving.
Over and Out

Who is, this is? Wetlands!
Ohh Wetlands we miss you….
So this week I decided to posted this wetlands advert from a zine that I cut down from my walls. The Wetlands which I have posted about before was a great venue. It did not have a great sound system or a good stage set up, but it had a great vibe to the place much like a favorite dive bar.
I attended maybe 2 shows on the advert the first I may have gone to was the bouncing souls show, but I definitely attended the Voodoo Glow Skulls. In high school I was part of the radio station, I know nerd! It did however help me interview bands and see tons of shows. This show in particular was cool I ended up going in early and interview all the Glow Skulls during they’re Firme tour. Brought a friend with me who was very excited to share a very large joint with the band as we did the interview in the basement of the wetlands.
The show was great, saw a band called Schlong who at that time had just releases a punk rock cover version of the musical West Side Story. Next up was the Blue Meanies who just had this great evil ska sound. The Voodoo Glow Skulls had a huge crowd since they had not played New York all that much and they’re record was getting pretty big. It was a very high energy set and a real red letter day.
Arrivederci

Below is a sculpture i made of the character on the poster above, its very heavy and it was fun to make back then.

Pull the plug, Pull the plug....
Word up
This is quickie, Neglect and Vod ruled long island Hardcore with a big hate hammer. Both great examples of late 90's Hardcore. I have spoken previous about silent majority and was a big fan.
I listened to the VOD still ep on a commute home. It is still as good as the first time i heard those songs on a crappy demo tape i bought at the PWAC.

Goodbye to You
Howdy
I know i've been slacking with the postings, but work has been keeping me busy. The below flyer is a show at Deja one. I spent my prom night at the first Deja show, which was a big ska show to me at the time. Yet my memory is bad and i can't remember the Headliner. I was semi friends with the shows bookie and was excited to see the start of a new club. Also no date to the prom :( .
Now this flyer is no Ska show, its a show for an awesome band called Kiss it Goodbye. It was one of the first bands i knew that took hardcore metal and changed it. What it became was a super charged violent metal sound mixed with an electrical machine vibe. I dug them big time, to bad i missed this show.
see you in the pit
