NS seems to be pretty enthusiastic about different types of music, what about ska? Favorite bands?
Mine is Streetlight Manifesto, for ska anyways.

I don't even think its a matter of favorite, Streetlight Manifesto are just the best ska band. I didn't really like their last CD though.
I guess I should contribute something........Common Rider. Singer of Op Ivy's band after he got bored of being a monk. CD is called This is unity Music. Get it now because it kicks ass. They only put out the one CD though.

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones (fuck ya!), old Catch 22, Streetlight Manifesto, Reel Big Fish, Mustard Plug. Best ska music is for sure the bosstones and mustard plug though.

Trying to get the band to play some Catch-22, kind of need a trombonist. (tromboner?)

haha sorry about that its just not my style and all their instruments seemed way too loud... is your cousin the lead singer who looks like a lumberjack?

and yeah, i enjoyed them except for the girl singer who was singing backup but still standing in the middle of the stage, other than that they were good

That'd be him.

To each their own I guess? I didn't like that band at all. They were nice though.

Ska and wakeboarding both had their heydays in the 90's.
