The Toasters, Mrs. Skannotto, Hepsi, Original Middleage Ska Enjoy Club
9:30 pm., Saturday February 02 | $10.
[SKA] The much-ballyhooed “third wave” of ska music crested about 15 years ago, and most of those waiting on its next big swell have long since been swept out to sea. That has not kept the Toasters—those former overlords of East Coast ska revivalism, whose Moon Ska label was long the most influential purveyor of pickituppickitup and huphuphup in the country—from marching valiantly on in earnest. Though catchy singles are few and far between, and even some devoted fans have trouble naming a member of the band, show-goers know exactly what they will get at a Toasters show: The band’s full, brassy, jangly sound remains recognizable after 30 years. A handful of rather soulful Northwest ska acts open what should be a sentimental and sweaty night.
