About time they came out with a sequel. This captures the heart of NY ska, a mess of styles and influences from traditional, jazz, rocksteady, and new skool.
Some established ska acts like Mephiskapheles and Ruder Than You, as well as some newer bands such as Less Than Jake (my favorite), and Mock Turtle Soup.
Bim Skala Bim offered a compelling set from their 11-year, six-album history and unveiled five new songs which blended easily into a catalog of set classics.
From the rock-steady beats to the more prominent ska-core, Mephiskepheles commandeered the crowd. Meph earned an encore, which is tough as an opening band.
