1/2 A Cold Show Please
Had another ticket thrown at me yesterday. “Hey Oz, come see Voodoo Glow Skulls and Mustard Plug at Bottom of the Hill with me”. Sweet! Alright, sure I was into them way back in high school, but I’m down for a good skankin’!
Now I love all genre’s of music, and I’ll make fun of them all equally, so lemme say this. Skankers are funny. And in ska music, there is only one kind of dance…the ‘Hop and Kick’
Exhibit A:
Anywho, despite the chicken dancin’ going on around me, it was a great show, and like my post title says, it was 1/2 a cold show, because I knew 2 out of the 4 acts playing that night. On the list we had:
Random Hand
Knock Out
Mustard Plug
Voodoo Glow Skulls
All very good acts, dance inducing even for myself. And I say its a sign of a good show if I still can’t hear out of my left ear the next day.
Last time I was given a free ticket was also to a ska show and I had made the mistake of wearing flip flops to that show. Word of advice, don’t ever go into a ska show with flip flops expecting to leave with a complete pair. I was lucky that time, stayed on the fringe of the mosh pit and left with both my shoes. *phew*
Last night though I decided, there can’t be such a thing as a bad ska show. To me ska music is just so much more lively, and energetic, sometimes happy that you can’t help but tap your toes or swing around a bit. What are signs of a good show to you?
