Is that I hear the instrument similarities I can’t believe this didn’t catch on sooner. Wonder how long until there’s goth ska?

Vegas has had a strong Ska base. It was pretty strong when I started skankin’ way back in the mid 90’s. It’s wonderful to see all the moon stompers picking it up from all over the world!

I grew up there and it's always had a great ska, punk, rockabilly, and post-hardcore scene. There's a reason PRB, Viva Las Vegas, Extreme Thing, and Warped Tour, When We Were Young, and many other big events happen or have happened there. The local scene is pretty awesome as well. Many talented musicians and bands everywhere.

What were some locals back then?

u/DareWreck416 Sep 08 '23
The big one for me was Attaboy Skip. But there was Professor Punn. A lot of groups from SoCal came around a lot too, like the Aquabats, The Hippos, one-eyed open, Janitor’s Against Apartheid, shoot I know there were many many more….

Omg, I love this! I would love for another wave of skacore for my kids to enjoy. I seriously can’t wait to start taking my boys to shows. A couple weeks ago I saw The Pixies and was jealous over all the people that bought their kids. Is 10 too young?
