Here's a nice video to check out of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones. Remember it's their only Canadian date. THEY AREN'T ON TOUR:) It's an exclusive Canadian date and their first show on Canadian soil in over 10 years. So be sure to buy the tickets earlier than you usually do for the Victoria Ska Festival. Every hard core Bosstones fan in the immediate area of Victoria may be thinking of coming!

Tickets are going very quickly on TICKETWEB.CA for all shows. If you want to ensure admission please purchase them on-line before they get to the stores. We're almost there:0

Word to the wise... (Vic Ruggiero and Chris Murray @ Lucky Bar) will sellout for sure and those tickets are only available for purchase on TICKETWEB.CA with purchase of a Slackers ticket. Those of you that are 19yrs+ please be advised to buy that ticket early because at this rate it could sell out sometime in May (2 months before the show).

LOS RASTRILLOS - one of my favourite bands from Mexico. Big ups to Zergio and Arturo. Much Love and Respect.

Picture was taken at the Mexico International Airport back in February 2009... For those of you that don't know, Los Rastrillos aren't only a class act but they're solid partiers. Take it from someone that knows;)

LOS RASTRILLOS performs on THURSDAY, JULY 9TH @ SHIP POINT (INNER HARBOUR) w/ LA SEVERA MATACERA (Colombia) & TEQUILA MOCKINGBIRD ORCHESTRA (Victoria). Tickets available at Lyle's Place, Ditch Records, The Reef, Fascinating Rhythms (in Nanaimo)

In Vancouver @ Zulu Records, Highlife Records, Redcat Records & TICKETWEB.CA

Following their show Jah Cutta & Determination w/ Subatomic Sound System will play @ Element.

Happy 10th B-Day Victoria Ska Fest;) - Tue, 5 May 2009 2:58am Edited: Tue, 5 May 2009 3:10am
