The Velvet Thunders + Sub Couple + Beasts + DJs We Got Killers + Mark Foggo’s Skasters + (Daytime Show 2pm)

MATINEE SHOW – (ticketed separately here https://wegottickets.com/event/680638/- ) Mark Foggo’s Skasters –  A Scouser who found himself in Amsterdam, Holland when the British 2 Tone / ska boom hit in 1979, Foggo soon became a prominent figure in Europe’s very own ska scene, most notably with his band Mark Foggo’s Skasters, formed in 1987. Foggo’s music, which he describes as “modern, bizarre, non-influenced, up tempo ska” is characterised by his observational and darkly comic lyricism, as well as his manic and boisterous stage personality. An amazing, veritable one man skanking industry, his own all-ska record label and booking agency Skanky’Lil Music has been operating since 1990, leading him to be called “the hardest working man in ska” and “a ska missionary” on a “never ending quest of playing and supporting ska music where ever he goes”. A fabulous, rare opportunity to see Mark Foggo this afternoon in The Ancestral Seat Of Madness and London Ska temple The Dublin Castle… EVENIG SHOW – The Velvet Thunders – these guys have perfected a party playlist set full of absolute banging dance tunes. From crunching, commercial hard rock classics, to indie bangers, funk and soul staples, big hip hop numbers and punk and new wave corkers. It’s all there to enjoy, with keening lead guitar, righteous riffola, floor quaking bass and big ass drums. And a superb frontman who really knows how to conduct a party. A superb night out assured. Sub Couple – Featuring the chaps from our fave raves Ping Pong Disco – a harder, heavier vehicle with similar sassy, satirical sentiments…kicks plenty ass actually. Great rousing stuff – Dead Kennedys meets Punishment of Luxury via the Pistols.  Beasts – adroit support from the bangingest of Beasts…ideal for the job in hand tonite. Uncompromising, flamboyant, exploratory. “A necessary reminder that music can still be dangerous, unrelenting, and real.” – Rebel Noise. DJs We Got Killers- Caring a lot til 2am
