big rally

Our website is back! Well, it needs to be updated, but at least it's there. Thanks to Malcontent Media and Nev! Keep checking this blog, though, yeah?

Reminder: Kiltlifters, this Saturday July 23rd, at the Marine Festival Beer Gardens! (19+, of course, sigh.) Undisputed Champions will play a short set first, starting at 1:30, then the almighty 'lifters will rally the stage for 3 sets, interrupted by a bikini contest around 4. Music goes to 5:30, and who knows when the beer flow might actually stop!

Rumour has it that prairie ska hosers Skavenjah may drop by... watch for them as well at their set at the Tim Hortons stage for the same event Saturday evening, and at the Queens Sunday the 24th (when yours truly will be downing a few birthday beers!)

The 6th Victoria Skafest was awesome! Meatball and I were stoked to be able to jam with the Allentons on stage -- very cool band, very cool guys. We also got to play a tune with Those Rapskallions, ripped it up at the Friday skafest house party, and Meatball got to play some solos with Fishbone and hang out with Eric Wilson (Long Beach Shortbus)! I, meanwhile, drank a lot of beer with the Karmakanix crew and learned dirty Japanese words.

Mmm, mojito!

Victoria Ska Festival!

Yarrrr mateys, it's time for ska! The 6th Victoria SkaFest is upon us, starting tonight (Wed) with Victor Rice giving a keynote speech and a dub demonstration. Arrrgh, this hoser has to work, but I'll be rallying hard at the Thursday and Friday shows. Do tap me on the shoulder and say hi! (I'll be the guy in the skull 'n bones Chucks.)

In other news, it looks like Kiltlifter Dave will be Fishbone's personal chauffer this week... I sense Angelo giving him a killer noogie!

See ya at Steamers on Thursday!
