Here’s a swell article from Marco On The Bass reviewing the music and hijinks of NYC’s The Steadys. The band was founded by a 17-year old Rob Gainfort in early 1989, after he was told by Rob Hingley of The Toasters that he was too young to audition as a lead singer! Marco conducts a lively interview with a grow’d up Mr. Gainfort, and there are some excellent mp3s in the post to enjoy as well. If, like this ska doggie, you missed The Steadys when they were together, you can still enjoy ‘em today thanks to the wonders of thee Interwebs. Two paws up.
A most exskallent read. For the record, I like O Bla Di! What’s not to love? Some people just gotta hate on pop. Beatles did exactly one ska song in their career, they did it well, and it was an original and a great tribute at a time when ska music was still young. Two-Tone happened fully ten years later. Props, babies. Read on and skank on.
