Lineup and details for Ska Face on Friday 30th March 2012
Sorry, but this event is now sold out. However, keep your eyes peeled for some exciting news - soon!
Ska Face is a ten piece ska band from the wrong side of the tram tracks in England's original ghost town - Blackpool on Sea. Formed in April 2010 the band are enjoying a meteoric rise through the live ranks, packing venues to capacity.
Ska Face performs all the classics - The Specials, Bad Manners, The Selecter, Madness. A full 4-piece brass section sets them apart from other acts, as does their enigmatic and energetic singer Tony Montana.
Ska Face revives the original verve and energy of the 80's Ska explosion. With passion, enthusiasm, accuracy and big grins on their faces.
They hold the attendance record at renowned venue Uncle Toms Cabin in Blackpool with an astonishing 750 people turning out to one of their shows there, another landmark in their first year.
Their first anniversary in April 2011 was spent performing to a sell out crowd at Layton Institute with Roddy Radiation of The Specials guesting on lead guitar. Roddy's assessment was 'really nice lads and good players' - high praise indeed from one of the Godfathers of Ska.
The band also is on the radar of names such as Richard Jobson (The Skids) and Peter Hook (Joy Division / New Order). Suggs from Madness also slipped into the crowd for an after show party performance whilst recently performing at The Winter Gardens. Rico Rodriguez (Specials / Jools Holland Orchestra) joined them at their first show in Preston at a packed 53 Degrees. Rico was also very complimentary about the performances and grinned for most of the set.
Inspired by the ska and Two Tone hits of the eighties, Ska Face are currently recording their debut album and have recently secured a world-wide distribution deal with Valley Digital.
So grab a shot of rum from the bar and make your way to the dance floor for the most intensely watchable band you will see all year. And remember - enjoy yourself - it's later than you think...
