Joining some of Beantown’s old favorites, like Bim Skala Bim and Skavoovie, are some great new acts, like S.M.A. and Big D and the Kids Table.

Steady Earnest – Review

June 1, 1997

One of the best ska bands ever to come out of Boston. Their songs were catchy, easy to sing along with and most importantly, compelled you to dance.

Bim’s set included many of the classic ska anthems that made them arguably Boston’s premiere ska band.

Steady’s set was big on ska/rock-steady songs culled from their two CDs along with one new song. By the 3rd song, the crowd was fully skanking.

Joint Ventures in Ska – Review

A tribute to marijuana. A lot of big-names here: The Selecter, Bim Skala Bim, Bad Manners, Scofflaws, Buck O Nine, and Skinnerbox NYC, among others.

Steady Earnest – Take It, Take It, TAKE IT! – Review

February 1, 1995

Some of the finest ska talent in the area, Steady Earnest being a little more of a pop band. I prefer Bim Skala Bim trombonist Vinnie Nobile’s live performance.
