Hey, kids, we're putting on shows again!The Duff Guide to Ska is producing it's first ska show of the year in June at one of our favorite places in New York: Otto's Shrunken Head tiki bar in Manhattan's still sort-of infamous Alphabet City.
All of the details are to the right, but we'd like you to note that this is going to be a pretty special night, with appearances by The Rudie Crew All-Stars, who are honoring their fallen comrade Roy Radics by keeping on making the music that he loved with all of his heart and soul; the fantastic Detroit rocksteady group 1592, who are making a stop in the Big Apple during their summer tour; and one of our favorite groups from the NYC Latino ska scene, the left-wing musical and political activists Skarroñeros! (Also on hand will be DJ Ryan Midnight, who will be selecting ska music for your pleasure.)
There's no cover for the night, but I ask that you please bring some extra cash (in addition to whatever you need for the bar--remember to tip the barkeep well!) for when we pass the hat for each band--to show your appreciation for each band's music and work!
A few other Duff Guide to Ska shows will be forthcoming later this year. Stay tuned for details!
