Snowstorm in Denver is ruining my plans. Can’t make the show tonight. If anyone wants em, I’ll be happy to transfer them to you. You’ll need the dice app for the tickets. Let me know!

Did anyone who backed this get their stuff yet? Last update was in July, with "DVDs and Blurays should be ready to ship by mid August". We're well into November now and no further updates.

I am used to Kickstarters running over time (shoutout to the College of the Third Wave bard subclass for 5e, the only Kickstarter ever to deliver on time), but I think we all got burned by the Inevitables, so I really just wish there was some communication.

This is “Tears For Fears” circa 1980. So about five years before ‘Songs From the Big Chair’ : r/Ska

10 piece ska punk band

Ordinary Hero

I remember there being some king of TV show where a ska-punk band was featured and the whole premise was to get them famous or something. I remember the band on it played a number of morning news shows, but not which ones. Also, IIRC, they only had one song.

Here's everything new we caught this week. And “we” includes you! So if you landed on something that isn't listed; please post and let us know! Stuff tends to trickle in during the day too, so if you see this early: check back in to see what else has been added.

If you think I've got a style wrong, if there's a bad link, or if you know where a band is from and I don't have it listed, or if you just want to talk about a release; don't be shy!

Can we please have ska tours similar to ska against racism or Plea for Peace. Where can I donate? I'll press vinyl.

Needless to say, this song has been on repeat for the last few days.
