Saw them in Belfast a few months back. Class and a great long set as well it was too bad one of the support bands got in a crash coming in or it would have been even better.

Alex!!! Stop with that avatar, I keep trying to smack my screen.

just noticed that it's the one and only Victor Rice playing bass at that show :shock:

Too bad you missed them!

If you're not familiar with the band, it's a NYC based Ska band. Coming to your town? Your best bet for a great time.

I've just returned from one such show. The venue was small, with terrible acoustics, so I got up front and left of stage. I had a lot of fun. I was dancing. My first memory of dancing was when I was four, with a steel band, until my mother, who'd lost me, yanked me out of the crowd. This was almost that good.

Thank you, Alex, for the heads up on this show. Enjoy![/quote][/b]
