Welcome..

..to Ska 4U, our outpost on the Interweb for love of all things ska. The site has been woefully neglected lately due to some technical glitches and my winter gig teaching the Iditarod doggies to skank, but I’m back now and all up in it. Thanks for the emails with ska band links, keep ‘em comin’ to buster at ska4u dot com. More soon.

The Kingpins Still Shredding In Cyberhizzle

Apparently Montreal’s beloved Kingpins’ L’Aventurier mp3 has grown cyberlegs, and is running amok in the blog-o-sphere. That’s a good thing. More ska = more fun. More fun = a better world. The equation is simple. Carry on.

Sweet Summer Sounds of The Cherry Poppin’ Daddies

Before Sublime (and all the bands after that seem to squeeze juicy ska reggae dub vibes from the California surf and sun!) The Cherry Poppin’ Daddies were cookin’ up some sunshine of their own in the rainy northwest town of Eugene, Oregon. Their name was a sort of deliberate confrontation with the hyper-PC reality of their surroundings, and it worked, garnering them plenty of controversy, critique, and, well, packed houses full of sweaty happy dancers! Here’s a taste of their musically sophisticated work – a charming song with epic reggae horns and panoramic vocal harmonies. Continue reading ‘Sweet Summer Sounds of The Cherry Poppin’ Daddies’

Love and respect to Sister Davies

Here’s a nice article about Sister Mary Ignatius Davies, the nun who fostered ska, rocksteady and reggae. One of the unsung heroes of Jamaican music, she ran the music program at the Alpha School for wayward boys in Kingston, famous for the seemingly endless list of brilliant musical stars it produced. Found this on the SF Vintage Reggae Society blog (which has a GR8 music stream!) from a post at BayAreaSka. Buster loves teh Internets.

Moose Goes Postal 4 Ska!

Musashi “Moose” Lethridge, Uptones guitarist and builder of the world’s first Ska Shrine, recently demonstrated Proper Shrine Use and Etiquette, to help publicize the Ska Shrine Ska4Ever Postage Stamp. On hand to witness the first Solo Ska Shrine Skankfest, were Official Ska Shrine Videographer Jake Small, and assistant Shrine builder and Ska Music DJ Eric Din.

After a solemn entrance, Moose called out tracks from the Uptones’ Skankin’ Foolz Unite CD and suddenly went into an all out skanking frenzy. His gravity-defying moves tested the physical limits of the Shrine, but it held together in all its two-tone glory even at skanking speeds of Mach 2 and beyond. Several spectators who got too close had to be carried out on stretchers, giggling uncontrollably. Continue reading ‘Moose Goes Postal 4 Ska!’
