OMG how did I not know the Auckland Ska Festival is a thing?!?

Turns out it has been for years, going back to at least 2019;

I really have been living under a rock, I guess.

#Listening to Slap on the Wrist by Aotearoa ska-punks Roofdog, a band I've had many a wild skank to over the years;

"When will you let me out of here?
I need a joint, I need a beer
When will you let me out of here?
For your cannabis laws I just don't care"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1k0bq8lG0V8

Love the little dub breakdown at the end, the self-titled album this track comes from has a few examples of this stuff.

#Listening to Hair Did by The Scotch Bonnets;

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFQXRDWbZr4

A bouncy roots ska style track about getting gussied up for a night out. The perfect antidote to the orgy of doom and gloom engulfing the postmodern mediasphere. Check it out!

Hair Did is the first single release from their second album Come on Over, released in 2019;

Miss Rand - The Chaotic Ska Collective

Ho avuto l'onore di lavorare a questa cover per cui ho avuto l'ok, Miss Rand è un brano del gruppo rock prog anni settanta Jumbo. Prima che io nascessi queste persone passavano le serate nella taverna di casa dei mie genitori provando e registrando su musicassette le serate in compagnie provando. E' un brano molto particolare.

Trying very hard here never to upload to Youtube again. All part of Degoogling one's life! I've had approval from the drummer and the singer of Le Beat Group Electronique to upload bootlegs of their pub gigs starting from the 1980s. So for any oldschoolers who like foot-taping pub rock, do check it out on Makertube...

If you're in #NYC tonight, come to The Shrine in Harlem. My reggae soul band Dubistry is reuniting after a six-year hiatus. 8-10pm.

Mostly at the jazzy instrumental end, strangely reminiscent of kiwi dub like The Black Seeds or early Salmonella Dub.
