Layering an 8-piece band for an immersive headphone mix takes absolute precision. Here's a 30-secondish taste of the saxophone solo on 'The Ascent'—dropping everywhere on August 7. This is our third brand-new single of the year, and we aren't slowing down.

Para el miembro promedio de está bella comunidad, ¿Cuál fue su primer contacto con el ska? Cuál fue la primer banda/canción que escucharon o los engancho a este bello género?
En mi caso fue esta canción de los Auténticos Decadentes titulada Aguinaldo, recuerdo que me engancho al instante por su fusión de ska y surf

Hey everyone,
I’m visiting LA for the second time and definitely want to see a ska show! California is one of its largest hubs, are there any shows playing within the next two weeks?
What’s the biggest departure from sound/style album to album?

I’ll give my two:
Blue Meanies. Full Throttle (1997) ➡️ The Post Wave (2001).
Suicide Machines. Battle Hymns (1997) ➡️ s/t (1999).

How is The Skatalites live?
2
Upvotes
I have a chance to see them on sunday. I know the original members are basically the pioneers of ska, and that's so awesome. The problem is that even though I know a lot of their songs, for me their songs are kind of slow, and I'm so much more into ska punk and I want to jump around. Tickets are expensive, but I also don't want to potentially miss this. Maybe it makes me fall in love with older/Jamaican ska.
Can anyone share their experience with seeing them live?
