I've had a few very busy days since Radicsfest, so I haven't had the chance to post videos and pictures that I shot (when I wasn't stage managing the show), as well as some choice videos captured by Radicsfest fans.
Having said that, Shaun Walsh of Whatz Up NY has posted his interviews and footage from the festival, which I'm happy to share below (and features interviews with me, Jah Point, CheckerPhil, Coolie Ranx and footage of the Shunklings, Reggay Lords, and Pilfers in action).

Radicsfest--An All-Day, Outdoor Ska Festival in Celebration of Roy Radics' Life and Music--Is One Week Away!
If you don't know already, Radicsfest is an outdoor, all-day ska festival/benefit in Bushwick to celebrate the life and music of Roy Radics of The Rudie Crew who passed away earlier this year!
This is an outdoor event, there will be food trucks, and The Well has 60 drafts on tap and 100 bottled beers! If you buy your tickets in advance it's $10 or $15 day of the show (we're raising funds for Radics' family).
All bands, selectors, and emcees are donating their time and talents in honor/memory of Radics. This is a true labor of love and we hope you'll join us for an amazing day of music!

All of the bands, selectors, and emcees listed below (and more will be announced soon!) are donating their time and talent to celebrate Radics' music and life. We all hope that you'll join us for an incredible day full of great music for Radics!

The First Duff Guide to Ska Show of the Year: The Rudie Crew All-Stars, Detroit's 1592, and Skarroñeros!
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!
