Nothing compliments warm Rochester summer nights quite like the pulsing sound of a ska band. Luckily, this season is looking to be packed with horns, snares and plenty of high hat.
If you don't mind a gentle commute for a sweet event, check out the 2009 Ska Prom in Syracuse on May 30th. Our new latest local obsession, Mrs. Skannotto, will be rocking out there. Bonus points/reduced price if you wear prom regalia. Like you need another reason to bust out the Pretty in Pink-esque New Wave prom duds.
Or, if you're anti-travel, you can wait until the jams come to you. June 30th we're being graced with the Ska is not Dead Tour 2009 at Montage. Headliners Sunny and the Sandwich Crackers definitely lean a little over the reggae line, but present a chill vibe. They will be supported by five, count 'em, FIVE openers including the aforementioned Skannotto.
Until these dates roll around, enjoy the tunes below: http://www.myspace.com/skannotto
