| troutbreath | Check out King Bong at Soundgarden this friday night. - Thu, 19 Dec 2002 1:43pm | ||
| go away | please go with the ska, ska should die out in victoria like it did in the rest of the world. Its for people who can't play jazz. It is queer. Speaking of queer, the outfits that ska fuckheads wear make me even more furious. Not to mention that homoerotic dancing. - Thu, 19 Dec 2002 2:02pm | ||
| J | Christ, can anyone ever post something without some wanker being a bitch about anything that they don't like? Noboday cares about your opinion. That's what bugs me most about forums and messegeboards; anonyminity, where immature, socially inept losers just continually post uncreative, negative shit. If you don't like it, start your own topic. There's a lot of room for opinion here. I've got lot's: Hot Hot Heat is overrated death metal is stupid Esquimalt is an ugly ugly place Molson canadian tastes like piss. I'm not trying to piss people off. All I'm doing is expressing my opinion. If some people like Death metal & Molson beer, good for them. - Thu, 19 Dec 2002 2:59pm | ||

| J | Well, I'm looking forward to the next Ska festival. I've heard a few rumours of the line-up and it sounds like it'll be pretty sweet. I hope it's in market Square again this year. - Thu, 19 Dec 2002 4:19pm | ||
| Emo Boy | That was so emo. - Thu, 19 Dec 2002 4:26pm | ||

| Vicious | Yeah, I really hate ska but my best friend loves it, so bring on the ska. Skanking (the "homoerotic dancing" as someone called it above) is pretty fun. Hope you ska guys get it together with a show. - Mon, 23 Dec 2002 3:49pm | ||

Hopefully we should have an all ages show in Vic sometime in January. when's the ten too late CD gonna be done? huh? huh? - Mon, 23 Dec 2002 10:25pm | ||

| boogie | country is better than ska - Wed, 25 Dec 2002 4:33pm | ||
| Anonymous | i don't see why all these "punk" guys are bashing ska so much. many great punk bands such as the clash (rip joe) and operation ivy played and experimented with ska. if you checkout the oi/skinhead scene in Britain many of those guys love ska. even cocksparrer covered some clash songs - Wed, 25 Dec 2002 8:59pm | ||
| Zac User Info... | I like ska, moreso old ska like the specials, i dont like the swingy tunes so much...but then again the clash and op ivy are two of my favorite bands..oh well, to each his own.. - Wed, 25 Dec 2002 9:44pm | ||
| ROSS B AY User Info... | it aint the punks who are dissing ska. - Wed, 25 Dec 2002 11:08pm | ||
| - | Don't be surprised if you see another ska/rocksteady/reggae dub extravaganza in February of 2003. We're hoping that all or some of these groups come to play: THE OPERATORS THE HOODWINKS THE J-ROYS The J-Roys are a selector duo group that have rare vintage ska and reggae vinyl. They also know how to work the crowd when they're selecting/djing. You guys may have seen the Hoodwinks at Victoria Ska Fest 2003. They're a r&B/rocksteady ska band. Their new CD will be released in the next couple of weeks. I'll tell you where you can purchase it. The Operators are an awesome ska/dub/rocksteady band from Edmonton. Look for official confirmations of this show coming soon!!! Sincerely and Skavoovie, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! - Fri, 27 Dec 2002 5:18am | ||
