From 60s Caribbean artists such as Desmond Dekker, Toots and the Maytals, Max Romeo and Jimmy Cliff, through the 70s with Dave and Ansell Collins and 80s bands such as The Selecter, Madness, The Specials, Bad Manners, to the 90s/00s and Reel Big Fish and more recently, Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra and Paolo Nutini, Skamungas have been performing Ska, Reggae and Two-tone for over seven years, combining energetic performances with top drawer musicianship.
As an added extra the band takes classic pop and rock songs and feeds them through the Skamungas machine to be performed as though they were always intended to be ska numbers. Their ska rendition of “Brown Eyed Girl” by Van Morrison is legendary as a well as “These Boots Were Made for Walking”, yes, the Nancy Sinatra song!
This is a standing gig.
