Subject: 3.1: Introduction

In response to all of those ``Isn't ska some dance form of reggae?''
questions, I present the following historical background to the music we
call ska, gleaned from liner notes I have lying about the place, various
postings to (news:alt.music.ska), and sundry emailings with helpful ska
fans.

Neither am I a musical historian.  I do love ska music, so I offer this
material unto the public domain.

Acks:
       Michael Cancilla (mailto:mcancill@polyslo.calpoly.edu) posted a long list
of ska bands that I have incorporated into this FAQ.  That list has grown
to list over 500 bands!  Mike Fragassi (mailto:mfragass@ucs.indiana.edu) emailed
me about 10k in response to my request for more info and is still at it.
Thanks Mikes!  Thanks also to everyone else in a.m.s and other reaches of
netspace who sent me info.

   Hey, if we're going to dance, someone has to make the music!

Bandlist

   Subject: 3.3: What are the names of some ska bands?

   These names are culled from various sources, especially Michael
Cancilla (mcancill@polyslo.calpoly.edu), Brian Rosenthal
(brianr@america.com) and others on a.m.s. Giusy Grasselli sent in more
Italian bands.  Hector Rivas (rivash@ing.ula.ve) sent info about
Venezuelan bands.

   Thanks to everyone who sends me info.  We now list over *650* bands!
Yes, we finally go `A' to `Z'.

   The format:  Bandname               (Location) {Style} [time period]
e.g.   Fubars, The            (Verona) {Funky ska} [1989-1992]

   So, please help!  Send me any info you have for this little project,
which I think will make this band list much more informative.

   Also, for bands with non-English names, I will alphabetize by the
name, *including the article* (`Los,' `Die,' `La,' etc.).  That is,
`Les Enfants de St. Gall' are listed under `L,' even though, in a more
multilingual world I would list them under `E.'

   Additionally,  Jay Vidheecharoen, jvidhee@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu, snail
mail at: 1800 Engel Road #747, Lawrence KS 66045, is developing a
"Directory of Ska."  Contact Jay for details.

     Line-up

     *The Front People*

     ..*Norbert L'Moore*.Despite his unfortunate appearance, Norbert never
     stops moving and keeps a crowd on their toes. When the crowd sees
     him, they immediately feel better about themselves.

     ..*Jane*......This woman has smooth vocal style combined with the
     looks to keep most primates' minds off violence.

     ..*David Walsh*...A versatile voice, restrained lead guitar and lots of
     muscles keep David's mind off his disappointing facial hair.

     *The Brass Section*

     ..*Sally-Jo Saxon*..Easily the best looking member of the brass
     section and also an occasional country and western vocalist, Sally
     and her tenor sax keep the brass sounding huge.

     ..*Sweet-Lips Kelly*.Hirsute in all the wrong places, Sweet-Lips
     makes his alto sax squeal with delight.

     ..*Scubes Black*...Pudgy not only plays a mean tenor sax, but also
     choreographs the brass section's skilful dance movements.

     ..*Eddy Edwards*..Eddy punches out the hottest trumpet and trombone
     sounds this side of the other side (but don't go running with him).

     *The Rhythm Section*

     ..*Mick Fink*....The backbone of the rhythm section. Mick is an amazing
     drummer and the girls love his smile. Mick wants to join Silver
     Chair one day.

     ..*Phineus Taylor*..Phineus has such control over his bass, that he
     has lost all control of his facial expressions. The audience is
     advised not to look at him.

     ..*Noel Powell*...Noel and his 1966 Gretch provide the icing on the
     rhythmic cake. Just what the Doctor ordered from the "House of
     Noel" (send no money, he'll bill you).

     .A demo tape was recorded 'live' to DAT at Sound Level studios in
     Ultimo.  Though it doesn't capture the excitement of live
     performances, the five songs provide a good feel for Dr Raju's
     musical Style. Seven songs, including four originals, were
     subsequently recorded at Channel 7 studios in Sydney on the latest
     Digital equipment. These will form part of a compilation album
     soon to be released in the USA.

     We currently have t-shirts and Demo tapes for sale. T-shirts with
     very groovy graphic and tour info on the back are $17 Australian
     world wide P+P included and tapes are $12 Australian P+P included
     worldwide.
