Thanks to everyone who came out for The Toasters' pre-show party at the Dusk Lounge yesterday afternoon/evening. We had a pretty good turn out (one fan who showed up was from Brisbane, Australia--she asked Buck to sign the Ska Records version of the Recriminations EP, which has the "bar scene" cover on the front and the "Pool Shark" jumping guitarist on the back).
A fair number of ska musicians were present to rub elbows with Bucket, including Dave Barry (The Toasters, Bigger Thomas, Beat Brigade, Second Step, etc.), Roy Radics (The Rudie Crew), Megg Howe (Across the Aisle), Jacob Wake Up! (Hey Stranger, The Hard Times), and Sammy Forthrights (who did a great DJ set, which allowed me to take a break and socialize a bit with friends and new acquaintances).
I wasn't able to make it to The Knitting Factory that night for the gig, but heard it was a terrific show (and we'll have some video soon, courtesy of Mike D!).
Here's something to put under yer hat: The Toasters are planning to be back in NYC early this summer and will have some big surprises in store for the fans...

Hi Steve, I'm sorry I couldn't make it. Sounds like it was a great time!
Thanks, Adam! Maybe you can come out for other things we have planned this year? Also, great things going on at The Lake...next Dirty Reggae Party is on February 25!
