TOKYO SKA PARADISE ORCHESTRA

The Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra are a phenomenon like no other. The ten charismatic members of Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra inject a manic intensity into their diverse and original repertoire of traditional Jamaican ska, hardcore garage-surf-punk-ska, rock, jazz, funk and reggae, bringing their almost 20 years of skilled musicianship to the wild proceedings.

Never stuck in a pre-cast mold of third wave ska, TSPO possess substantial jazz chops - the horn section alone is well qualified to tear up the hottest big band. Formed in 1985, they made a huge impact in the Japanese indie/underground music scene with their initial offering of punk ska.


But their musical journey has evolved by embracing and mastering other musical styles which push them into another dimension. By now TSPO have no less than eleven albums to date including 25 singles, 10 videos and 2 DVDs.

Their incredible, hard-driving live shows, which they have taken throughout Europe to rave reviews, just have to be seen to be believed. The combination of the ferocious musicianship (all are stellar, accomplished musicians in their own right, lending their talents to other groups and projects in Japan), combined with live-wire high energy, comedic toasting and outrageous taste in suits add up to an unforgettable, powerhouse show of slammin' ska turned upside down and sideways.

Taking ska one step beyond, TSPO is a group to watch. And not just watch, dance!!
