VICTORIA BC SKA SOCIETY

On Sunday, September 17th history was made at the home of Darryl Reilly of the Subcity Dwellers (Subcity Dwellers are from Winnipeg and played both original and tribute material from the Clash at this year's Victoria Ska Festival) when Mikey Dread came over to his house and jammed with him, members of One Night Band, The Expos, and JFK. Mikey Dread directed the whole jam as if he was the conductor of an orchestra. There were probably 8 or 9 supporting musicians in total.

I remember speaking with Mikey just before he went into the room to jam. After much conversation I remember telling him, "You should really jam with these guys cause they're tight." And he replied, "just wait... they just need a little different idea (meaning sound). It's all in the instructions... And I remember not knowing what he meant - that's until I heard and saw the sounds being created by him and all of the musicians in the room. Mikey stayed after the jam and chilled out with everyone at the house. The whole jam reminded me of when The Aggrolites, Chris Murray, The Operators, the Kiltlifters and other bands played at the Vantreight house a long time ago during Victoria's 4th Annual Ska Festival....

Ska/reggae jams are where it's at and I hope more of them can happen in more cities throughout Canada in the future.

Remember to check out One Night Band & The Expos on Friday, September 29th @ Lucky Bar. You'll see why Mikey Dread enjoyed playing with so many of them a couple of days ago;) - Tue, 19 Sep 2006 12:41am Edited: Tue, 19 Sep 2006 12:46am
