Q: How do I win your dance contest?
A: You must have a number to win the contest. After receiving your number, skank through the entire Uptones set, and then wait for the judges to announce the winner.
Q. Where do I get a number?
A. Numbers are assigned the evening of the contest at the registration
table.
It’s first come first serve.
Q. How can I be guaranteed a number?
A. Anyone who buys a ticket in advance is assigned a number.
Q. Who judges the contest?
A. The Skanking Fool and his Posse
Q. Is there only one prize?
A. No. The amazing prize of $500.00 that SonicSwap, the best new app for
iTunes, has put up for first prize – isn’t the only one. There will be more prizes.
Q . Are there any other hints you can give us?
A. Yes. I would dress very ska.

Here’s an extraordinary guide to starting for a ska band, from a man who really knows his bidniz. Victor Rice is a master producer, musician, composer, and all around scholar of ska and dub and reggae musics in their myriad forms. His step by step guide, published as a guest blog on Ska Blah Blah, is an enjoyable read for any ska fan, and could be essential to someone really taking the plunge. Professor Rice’s discussion of tempo, in particular, could save bands, and their audiences, a lot of grief! The study of upstroke vs. downstroke guitar upbeats is eloquent – I have never heard it described so accurately.
It’s all aboot the Ska Patrol,
best international weekly ska show in the skankosphere.
Go deh =)
The Specials!
Here is a link to the Specials website…I’m speechless…
