The Slackers
From New York, New York
Only Twin Cities show on MN Live's calendar
From last.fm:
One of New York's most notable ska bands, the Slackers formed in Brooklyn in 1991 and have played the world over many times since. Their first release was an eponymous self-released album, distributed by Moon Records in 1993 on cassette. Their first real debut is "Better Late Than Never" on moon ska records. Coming out in 1996, this album saw a movement to more traditional ska music, as opposed to their earlier two-tone and garage influences. It was produced by Victor Rice, a noted ska/reggae producer, who also played bass for them at one point. Read more about The Slackers on Last.fm.
Green Room Rockers
Only Twin Cities show on MN Live's calendar
From last.fm:
THIS IS FROM INDIANA? yep....from NWI to indy all the way to the tip of the boot. We are proud to rep that Hoosier Homegrown. GRR mixes the Bass Heavy sounds of Jamaica from its original golden era with All-American Soul. Its boot stompin, finger snappin music for those whole like the small axe sharp and ready. The versatility of the music allows GRR to play alongside anything from country western to punk, and still get them feet movin. Read more about Green Room Rockers on Last.fm.
The Prizefighters
From Minnesota
First Twin Cities show since since June 27, 2012 • 20th Twin Cities show on MN Live's calendar since February 7, 2007
From last.fm:
THE PRIZEFIGHTERS are Minnesota's first and only Traditional Ska, Rocksteady, and Skinhead Reggae band. The band started out as a solo project of Aaron Porter, aka Lord Grab and Flee in 2004. After a few years of recording all the tracks and playing all the instruments, THE PRIZEFIGHTERS came together in 2006. Matt Morse and Jordan Porter enlisted from Aaron's other band, GYLBOTS. Tim (Tooth) Freeman stepped up to the drums, quickly learning the Jamaican drumming styles essential to playing Traditional Jamaican music. Read more about The Prizefighters on Last.fm.
