First wave - Original Jamaican Ska 1950's
(artists like "Prince Buster", "Sir Clement Coxsone Dodd" etc.)

Second wave - 2-Tone British Ska 1970's
(artists like "The Specials", "The Selecter", "Madness" etc.)

(artists like "Operation Ivy", "Reel Big Fish", "[spunge]" etc.)

Let's get Baked !

3rd Wave-Mostly stuff like Big D and the Kids Table, The Toasters, Operation Ivy, Common Rider, and the Suicide Machines. The kind of stuff that could easily pa** for straight up punk or ska. I just love the raw energy at these shows and the types of people that will gather and skank together. Don't get me wrong 1st and 2nd waves are boss and I've seen The Aggrolites who play a 1st wave style and The English Beat who ARE 2nd wave, and they put on amazing shows with tons of energy that can just move your soul, but give me 3rd wave any day and I will rock the faces of passersby off.


This is a Public Service Announcement...with guitars!

First wave for sure. Pure, simple joy, you can't help but dance.
