This all-ages celebration of the music will feature Goldfinger and Less Than Jake, The Planet Smashers, Kill Lincoln, Joystick, Five Iron Frenzy, Sorry Sweetheart, and The Potato Pirates.
After all, there is no more joyous style of music in the rock-and-roll era than ska, the genre that supercharged the off-beat rhythmic accents of reggae with the energy and spirit of punk.
Many ska bands from decades back featured punchy horn sections that added an irresistible emphasis, making it impossible for fans to stay still. And when the electricity of punk rock was added to the mix, audiences often naturally swirled into mosh-pit dancing, with musicians stage-diving and being carried aloft by fans, as in the early days of hardcore punk.
Kill Lincoln and Joystick! also feature horns. And while Joystick!’s music is flavored by the R&B of NOLA in the late 1950s, its rhythmic emphasis harks back to the roots of reggae in Jamaica. The Planet Smashers play punk with pop hooks and subtler reggae/ska rhythmic underpinnings.
