The Benefits finally back doing a show!

Sun, Feb 19th -- RAZBARI SUMTHING (Syracuse ska kings), THE BENEFITS (Syracuse University ska), KICKING SICILY (Albany ska-punk, NOT ON TRACK (Buffalo ska-punk), THE ARGO-NOTS (new Syracuse ska-rock) at UCF Underground in Syracuse. All ages, $7 cover, show from 6-10pm. Presented by Kingston Beat Productions.

Yes, the date and line-up have changed. But it's still going to be a lot of fun.

I humbly suggest Rex Banner. They have bigger things written all over 'em.

That was my first choice all along, but they can't play that day.

Nuts.

I'm not going to get into the blow-by-blow description of how this show was originally booked or the wild rollercoaster ride I've been on with this thing for the last couple weeks.

But I will say that basically, Cypher and I had some serious miscommunication and they ran into major scheduling problems, so they can't play. GDR almost played their last ever show in Syracuse, but the ska gods didn't quite allow it happen. I've spent an enormous amount of time online and on the phone the past few weeks with people in New Jersey and Buffalo, mostly. Most of those bands will play another time, but couldn't do this show.

I'm waiting to hear back from one more band. I should know by tomorrow if they'll make the 5th band on this show. Kids will be happy to see them if it works out.

In the last couple weeks, I've learned far more about the Buffalo ska scene than I ever desired. I learned its wacky, wacky, wacky. But RazSum should play there and they will play there. Hide the women and children now, while you still can.

Sweet.
Now I can get out to the Hobo Slobo/Inner JD/Marty!/Anorexic Beauty Queen show at The Westcott on the 17th.

I was just wondering if there was a flyer for this show and if not, if you need one. I could probaly come up with something cool.

Feel free to make up a flyer. Not On Track made up one that you can see on their myspace.

i really hope im over my bronchitis (yes im sick again) to see the benefits again, damn theyre so good

Please notice that Kicking Sicily is playing as well.

This show is gonna rock!!!!!

Yay for Kicking Sicily. I missed them the last time they played hear, but the rest of the Argo-Nots saw them and loved them, so I am pumped to be playing with them. I've only heard awesome things about them.

I reccomend a Secret Ions/Secret Ions/Secret Ions combination show.

$6 sounds good, even if all I'm going to do is mack it to that chick from the benefits.

I've known Heather for about 4 years now and can certify that she is a total sweetheart.

BTW, now it needs to be our usual $7 cover to make sure the out of town bands get paid properly. Sorry about that!

Yeah!

Not On Track

P.S. We know rex banner are the buffalo ska kings but you gotta cut us some slack!!!!
