Ska Threads

Gustavo Fring

New here and was just wondering where the best place to find any ska related stuff would be ?

Cheers in advance

bassey

Sin E on a Friday night is the best regular ska night in Dublin, live band plus great DJ's afterwards and open til late. You'll find out everything you need to know about ska in Dublin there.

The rats @ the foggy is always a great night

bassey

The Rats usually play on the Friday night in Sin E that I mentioned, with excellent DJ's afterwards

tried pushing for a ska forum many times over the years... they dont like skanks here.

honestly tho, theres not a huge amount of interest here.

new rbf is great, check out the jellycats too, on bandcamp, just released their debut, good ska punk, female fronted too

dregin

Ah here. There's a MASSIVE difference between Real Big Fish and Ska.

How about The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and ska? Is any of the 90's 00's punk ska stuff acceptable? Capdown perhaps?

I don't accept magpies as a species of bird. How's that?

dregin

This is it ska punk. Not saying I don't like it, but it's not the ska you'll find playing in Sin E.

Mr Whirly

The op never specified what sort of ska they were after.

I like all ska and ska influenced sounds (including ska punk,Oi,reggae etc)


Prince Buster to Rancid (Timebomb is an exceptional track) et al

melekalikimaka

this is the punk forum, so maybe we can assume its ska punk

Viva La Gloria

Less Than Jake

Mighty Mighty Bosstones are awesome too. I met Chris Rhodes last August when he was touring with LTJ and asked him why MMB hadn't been back to Ireland since 03. He didn't know

think it was 2 years ago saw them play at 2pm in the afternoon at leeds festival, great old gig

Ah right! I would love to see them play

heading over to london in march to see reel big fish and suburban legends, will the 9th time seeing rbf ( 10th is tattoo time) and sl... i honestly thought i'd never see them live, i may cry a little at the gig

Viva La Gloria

Wow! I've only ever seen RBF once, Slam Dunk '11.

I got my LTJ tattoo after my 8th show

Saw Pressure Drop at ST Annes last week and as cover bands go they were pretty good

bassey

Aye Pressure Drop are good, they were excellent at Electric Picnic last year.

As far as I know the No Bother lads are doing Wednesday nights in the Grand Social now as well.

Also if you listen to Ska Patrol on Near 90 fm on Mondays JB and Jero usually give a heads up for anything decent happening.

melekalikimaka

If anyone gets a chance see Suburban Legends live, saw them support RBF there a few weeks back and quite possibly the best ska punk gig I have been to in my life, the whole place was skanking, people walking out who had never heard of them singing their praises, queues to buy the cds outside. Reel Big Fish gave a decent show aswell after a few less than great shows in recent years IMO

Jillwvk

Ska, Reggae and Rocksteady night on every thursday in The Grand Social Lower Liffey Street, Dublin 1. Free entry and doors 8pm-11:30pm. With Fux (owner of No Bother shop selling ska apparel) djing every week.

Viva La Gloria

Went to Croatia and Slovenia last week to see Less Than Jake, and they had this amazing Italian ska/pop-punk band supporting them in Slovenia.

Looking to discover more bands like this. Really love the fast stuff

dregin

Neither of those is fast!

ha, ok I should have said fast(er). It's just, some of the slow stuff really doesn't do anything for me. I really love the pop punk type ska.

Civil Disobiedients & Pound for the Sound two of the best ska albums in the early 00's. Absolute quality

Bad Manners were brilliant tonight (as usual) in the Village tonight - brilliant gig.
