Ska ZombieWatch: SID 4.2

While Adam Coozer keeps a vigilant eye out for any general news concerning the rise of zombies, The Duff Guide to Ska is (obviously) interested in the ska angle of the undead--hence our coverage of the second leg of the 2009 Ska is Dead (SID) Tour, with headliners The Toasters, Mustard Plug, Voodoo Glow Skulls, and Deal's Gone Bad.

Barring a sudden announcement by The Specials or Madness that they are hitting the States for some gigs, SID is shaping up to be the major ska tour this fall for parts of the Midwest and the entire East Coast. Sadly, it seems like NYC is getting the short end of this stick this time 'round--the closest SID comes to us is Sayreville, NJ. For the city that helped give birth to the US ska scene--where's the love, baby?

Also, I can't decide which band name is better: Dead Like Lincoln or Fatter Than Albert?
