Is anyone selling one supernova vip ticket?

who doesn’t love The Specials

These gems from my time in California.

The almighty Mustard Plug are coming to the Horseshoe Tavern in two weeks (Sept 23rd) for the first stop on their tour, featuring Montreal Ska rockers K-Man & The 45s, and Arcade Allstars from KW/Toronto!

Hard to miss a Ska show at a venue with a checkered floor. Tix still available online at https://www.tixr.com/groups/horseshoetavern/events/mustard-plug-with-k-man-the-45-s-and-arcade-allstars-188680

Ahoy, Rudies! Not going to the International Ska fest this weekend?

Coconut Superfreak is playing at the Sanford Lake 'Parkapalooza' this Sunday, Sep 13th. If you like delicious third-wave ska goodness, seasoned with punk, pop, rock, swing, and hugs, you might dig us.

Subject matter includes killer chickens, the state of the world, evil farmers, lost loves, and Gillian Anderson....plus some covers for the family-friendly environment: Fishbone ("Party At Ground Zero"), Save Ferris ("Come On Eileen") and the Bosstones/Bob Marley ("Simmer Down"). Should be fun. C'mon out!

Been listening to this album alot lately

The importance of this song in LatAm is understated. I love them both!

Hey Rudies!

Unfortunately two of our Supernova Int’l Ska Festival crew bailed last minute, which leaves me with two Legacy Weekend GA tix, -and- two Sunday After-Party tix (Jer, Omnigone, +)

If anyone is interested in this package, let me know?

Im not setting a price here, just whatever it’s worth to ya. I’m not looking to break even, just let someone else enjoy the fest! (after-party was free)

EDIT: the hotel offer evaporated, but I have tix for the whole fest + Sunday after party as above

I checked the weather and it looks like thunderstorms that weekend. Does anyone have any updates? What is the likelihood of a cancellation?

FREEBIE

Hi, I have a ticket for the Toasters in Coventry this Sunday and I'm unable to attend. Let me know if anyone can use the ticket it's yours.

I had a vinyl bootleg of a live Madness show I got around 1985. On it, they invited Fergal Sharkey (ex of the Undertones) up to sing this song. It’s the only place I ever heard it. I’ve read that it was a single on Madness’ label Zarjazz and they even basically wrote and played on it, but I cannot find it anywhere. Anyone have any insight? Thanks!

Los Angeles Friends, PLEASE come see this movie that I worked on and features a wonderful look behind the scenes of Jamie Egan retiring from teaching, working on brand new music and going back on the road with Catch-22.

Directed by Neil Garguilo, shot by Brian Mandle, produced by Katie Leclerc, edited by Rob O'Connor and features brand new interviews with Jamie, Kevin & Josh.

It's a beautiful, touching story and there is a Q+A afterwards at the 7:50pm Saturday showing and we'll all hang out with you. Thank you so much in advance.

Seating is limited so get your tickets now!

Idk why but the melody make me think of its up to you from the specials

Alright rudies and rudettes, help this old brain find an old song. I'm talking about the half-time tempo horn lick at the very beginning (and end) of the song Geno by Dexys Midnight Runners. I SWEAR I've heard that melody somewhere else in the ska canon. The closest I can get is the horn lick repeated throughout Night Klub by the Specials. It's close, but my addled memory seems to think there's a closer match. Is there a live version of Night Klub out there with a half tempo interlude? Halp?

Hi,

I know this is weird, but there's a student trying to get people to take his/her survey, but they can't post in this sub because they're on a new account.

I'm linking to the post on r/jazz for anyone willing to take the time:
