The Brits are coming.

We are very excited that this great band 2nd Time Lucky is coming to Seattle.

These guys are a poppy punky ska band from sunny Brighton. They formed in July 2003 as a collection of various musicians from other south coast ska bands when the local scene was at a real peak. Since then they had a million people come and go through the band (full story in the blog!). Right now they are saving hard to get a full album recorded.

We were lucky enough to go over to Brighton and do a mini tour with this band and it was a blast. Well this July we are retuning the favor and they are flying across the pond to come play their great British Ska here in the states. If your not familiar with this band you can check them out on their myspace site. We are currently setting up gigs where Natalie Wouldn’t and 2nd Time Lucky will share the stage. Hopefully if everything works out we will be playing together in British Columbia at the annual Ska Fest in Victoria. Stayed tuned for more to come on this fun British invasion.

The Q Cafe

So here is a bit about the Q Cafe. “Q Cafe also doubles as a great music venue [visit us on MySpace for all upcoming shows]. With our 238 persons occupancy, no alcohol, solid sound system, tons of free parking, and a classic Seattle urban cafe vibe, it’s one of the up and coming all-ages-venue in Seattle. We’ve hosted open mics, gospel, alternative, hip hop, one grammy winner, jazz, some classical music, and of course, many local musicians.”

We are very excited to be playing with Get down Moses. So on Friday April 18th if your not busy you should head out to the Q and have a great evening at the really cool new venue.

Buster and his amazing tongue.

Well the show was fun at El Corozon with Bad Manners. Even though it was an early show we still seem to have some people there and they all seemed into the music. Our set was short and sweet. We started off with Stop and were able to squeeze in Train for our last song.

We were all give only 25 min sets so Bad Manners could play the full hour and thirty mins. I have to thank all the fellas from the Diablotones for back lining gear, special thanks to Steve for being cool and letting me stick my kick in place of his with the New Natalie W. drum head logo.

Shawn and I were hanging out in the Bar before the show and had an opportunity to chat with Buster the title of this post is because of the image you see in these photos. Kevin even was able to hang with Buster out by the Winni pre show. All in all it was fun and we are looking forward to sharing the stage with Bad Manners the next time they come through Seattle. Cheers.

Bad Manners show on April 5th

Come one come all. ok this is going to be one great show, the line up is smoking and what more can you ask for with bands like the Cauz, Georgetown Orbits, The Diablotones, Natalie Wouldn’t and the one and only Bad Manners.

It has been a while since our last show with Bad Manners but if they play like they did last time this is going to be one great show.

We have been working on some new material we are hoping to unveil at the show along with some of our regular favorites. F.B.I. Dick, and Dog Gone.

This summers is looking like a good deal of shows for us and it is great to start the spring off with a show like this.

So come on out have some fun enjoy yourself and make sure to bring a friend.

the show details can be found at El Corozon’s site.

Road Tested

Well here we are back stage at Studio 7 for the 08 SKA Fest getting interviewed by Kyle Madsen with the Spectator. We really enjoyed the show. We always love to play at studio 7. The sound guys there are amazing the stage is huge and we seem to always have some great energy going with our fans. Richard had to bug out after we got off the stage so he missed the photo but Richard being new to the band did an amazing job that night. He has been a great addition to our band. Here is what Kyle had to ay about our show. Following Legal Lies was one of Seattle’s most time-tested ska bands Natalie Wouldn’t. Fresh off a short UK tour, the band stuck to rock-steady slow jams, coupled with upbeat singles about heartbreak and misery. With several years experience under their belts, Natalie Wouldn’t was apart from the other bands with a more precise sound. “We really take a lot of time to make sure each song is exactly the way we want it to be, and the audience seems to like it too,” said drummer Mike Fanning.

SKA Fest on Feb 8th

This is going to be one hell of a show. The lineup is strong and it is at a great all age’s venue. I mean come on the Warsaw Poland Bros. Georgetown Orbits, of course Natalie Wouldn’t, The Diablotones, The Push, Legal Lies, and more. This will be a great night with allot of SKA and great music. If you haven’t been to Studio Seven it is very easy to fine. Just head south on 1st ave and take a left on Horton and you are there. I believe we will be taking the stage around 8:30 or 9:00ish check out the site for details. We will be rested up from our recent show in Hollywood and ready to get our amazing Seattle fans excited to skank. Hope to see all of you there and please come up and talk to us. We are nice guys and we love all our fans. Thank you The Management
