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).

Dan Klein (of The Frightnrs) Benefit Show
The Dan Klein Benefit Show
We regretfully inform you that our great friend, family member, and front man Dan "Brukky" Klein was diagnosed with ALS in November. The news has been devastating to say the least. Dan, supported by his family and some of his close friends, has been fighting this rare disease in private for the past few months. As people learn about Dan’s condition, they ask how they can help.
We put this show together in order to get all our friends and family together and celebrate our boy Dan and also help raise money to go towards Dan’s medical expenses, etc.
Please join us to make this a night to remember with this incredible line up.

NYC Ska Halloween Weekend Ska Gigs!
While I'm going to resist the urge to bastardize the English language by combining ska with the proper name of a holiday (secular or not), I'm happy to point out that there are many great ska gigs in NYC that you can attend this Halloween weekend--featuring some of the best bands our scene has to offer! (Why not make it to all of them--details on all of the shows are at the bottom of this post!)I can't imagine a more appropriate ska band than Mephiskapheles to see when celebrating Devil's Night; they'll be at the Mercury Lounge this Friday night along with Hub City Stompers, 45 Adaptors, and, ahem, Hymen Holocaust.
On Saturday,
Then, on Sunday (All Souls Day), after you've had a chance to recover, head to Brooklyn Bowl to catch Brown Rice Family and the Brooklyn Attractors.

The Frightnrs' New Video for "Sharon"
The Frightnrs--one of my NYC favorite bands, hailing from the fine borough of Queens--have been releasing some incredibly good music and making some very smart business moves recently. They've been working with Diplo's Mad Decent label, as well as the celebrated Daptone Records, and have generated a good deal of attention from press and fans not normally attuned to what's going on in the kinda, very underground NYC ska and reggae scene--all while delivering their own brilliant brand of rub-a-dub and rocksteady. (They haven't changed, the world has come to them...)
The Frightnrs have just released a wry and really well-done video in support of their Mad Decent/The Full Hundred single "Sharon" (read The Duff Guide to Ska review here) and their digital Inna Lovers Quarrel EP (which I owe the band a review of--d'oh!). Take a look at it below...
+ + + +
If you're in the NYC area this Halloween, you can catch The Frightnrs (plus The Far East and selectors Grace of Spades, and Jah Point and Mush One featuring Screechy Dan) at the Witch Dance (The Kimberlye Project, 1332 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn; doors at 9:00 pm, $10 gets you in).
