Just got off the phone with a girl from Chicago who is helping book shows for Malafacha from Chicago IL that plays ska-reggae-Latin. I like the way this band is planning ahead and as many of you know, this is a style of ska that I like a LOT.
Check them out: http://www.myspace.com/malafacha1
They're looking to hop on some Northeast US shows this fall sometime, so hit them up if you're interested. If they can confirm something in the Tri-State area, I might see if we can swing them up to Syracuse and Ithaca as well.
Very cool too that they're opening for Salon Victoria in Chicago -- I just wish I could make it to that, as its a band I've wanted to see for some time now.
