Skatalites & Gogol Bordello on tour with the Pogues

[Low D]

... well, not really, but the dates & locations for all three bands' fall 2009 west coast USA tours are pretty close in a bunch of places, so I thought I'd post 'em here for anybody making plans.

While it's true there's only three original Skatalites left in the band, there's been a few spots filled by other old-timers, and the "young" guys (40-50 yrs) are no slouches. I've seen 'em a few times in the last 5 or 6 years, and they're one of the best live acts i've *ever* seen. How somebody as old as Carl "Cannonball" Byrant can throw a barritone saw up over his head like that is beyond me. And as for Gogol, if you haven't seen them yet, you should really be asking yourself why that is.
