From one of our most favoritest blogs, Marco On The Bass, comes this article about The Hoovers. The Hoovers were a band from the two-tone era, based in San Francisco with two Brits at the helm. Marco found an mp3 at fellow ska blogger Tone And Wave’s blog, of The Hoovers’ appearance on legendary San Francisco FM radio station, KSAN. Badass.
One of our favorite ska bloggers, Marco On The Bass has been busy writing some gr8 stuff lately. In recent posts he’s covered Hepcat drummer Greg Narvas’ ‘I Was a Teenage Filipino Skinhead’ comic series, and some fascinating deets about the latest incarnations of The Specials and The Selecter. He’s even giving away a copy of the essential ska book Ska: An Oral History by Heather Augustyn. This ska doggie sez: Marco’s bloggy is a must read for all fans of ska.
Here’s a frame from the aforementioned Greg Narvas’s hilarious and completely true account:
