what bands? my favorate ska band is streetlight manifesto. other good ones are Big D and the kids table, mighty mighty bosstones, operation ivy, rancid, reel big fish, sublime, the suicide machines.
i notice that some of those are only borderline ska, and more punk/regae, but still like em |

too many bands to list. I like more of the trad and 2nd wave stuff. Although it is fun to rock out to Streetlight or Skankin Pickle or Big D or the early Aquabats stuff, or Reel Big Fish, etc.

I was really into MU330, Big D And The Kids Table, Less Than Jake, Slow Gherkin, and Reel Big Fish.
These days, I really do not like listening to the stuff. |

He had a picture of himself WITH the band on stage, and an accompanying article (from a reunion show.) Ended up that the guy's house we were staying at is just real good friends with the band and was singing a few songs with them.

My band back in the college days actually played with The Urge. From what I remember, Karl Grable was a nice cat.
Funny enough, someone just created a Myspace page featuring this group - check it out (link below). I hadn't heard some of those tunes for nearly 10 years, but can't believe how tasty our drummer and horn section in particular truly were. And some nice muscular 5-string bass
playing if I do say so myself! ! Dig the tasty funk break on Chicago Bus Driver! Not bad for a then-18 year old! http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm...ndid=326576889
