Syracuse Ska Forum

I don't ever really post here, and these shows definitely aren't ska shows. But hey, I figured I'd list them anyway, in the event that some folks here might have an interest in what's going on.



Tuesday, July 1st
Red Planet Skatepark, Oswego
5PM. $7-8... we'll see (and a potluck as well!)

LORDS (loud rock outta Louisville, their new record is called "f*ck All Y'All f*ck"... need I say more?)
SUICIDE NOTE (Midwest noisemakers, super rare performance seeing as they tour.. um.. never)
THE SIDEKICKS (cool melodic punk stuff from OH)
GHOST TOWN TRIO (rad No Idea-style punk from OH)

Hopefully I'll be there Wednesday. Will most likely be at Attica Attica as well. Everyone support these shows.


p.s. Hex, I met your girlfriend in school today hah. She was doing the Peace Council table.

Mistletoe played here in March, I liked them a lot.

I met somebody from The Network at a party once. Seemed like a cool dude.

Thanks for the positive remarks. To be honest, I wasn't sure if these shows were going to be up people's alley (considering this forum revolves around ska/reggae music). But it's all good to me.
To address these comments:
1.) Yes, Attica! Attica! is quite awesome. It's like listening to Marathon if it was just Aaron... which it basically is.
2.) Yes, I sing for Mistletoe and I always look that blurry when we play. We actually just put some new music up on our site if anyone is interested (myspace.com/mistletoe315)
3.) My girlfriend does indeed do some Peace Council/ Anti-Military Recruitment stuff around town, in addition to about a million other activist-oriented things and it's pretty cool.
4.) If I met a dude from The Network at a party I'd wait around just to see when he eventually donned a lightshade as a hat and put his head through a table. I can imagine those dudes being party monsters.
