Awesome, Fun, Colorado Ska Music

WHO ARE YOU GUYS?

We are the Ska Skank Redemption. While our base music is Ska-Punk, we try not to be limited by the genre, dipping into other influences, including but not limited to: Jazz, Jam Bands, Funk, Classical, Classic Rock, Blues, Punk, and the occasional dose of Death Metal. With the company of a few music majors, as well as several other strong musicians, we take great pride in the quality of our music, and always strive to make each song better than the last. Despite what some may say, we honestly and truly do write from the heart. Our hearts just happen to be loaded with funny stories, video games, partying, disgust for poor musicianship, and a certain love of the sea. We have stuck by our refusal to follow the pessimism of the "scene" today, because really, things could be worse. You could have your head ripped off by a bear with one gentle swipe, or hell, something could be wrong with the G-diffuser! But we pledge that when you find yourselves in that sort of a situation, we'll be right behind you, yelling "Use the boost to chase! Use the Boost to chase!!"

This bio is inadequete. Take me to a bigger one!!

News

3/6/10- Just kidding. Well, at least about us not playing the March Ska Jam. Still playing that. Yep.

3/5/10- Short update on top of that: The March Ska Jam will not have us playing it, due to a personal loss to one of our members. The CD release will be held at the Crabtree Brewery on March 26th when we play with Synthetic Elements, so hope to see you there!

3/4/10- Hey everybody! How's abouts an update?
We are mega-ultra-super close with finishing our E.P.! All the tracks have been mixed and mastered, and now it's merely a matter of pressing and copying many many copies. If you're anything like us, you know that it's about time! Join us for the March ska jam where we'll (hopefully) have a copy of the EP for you, and you'll have one before all your friends! And you'll be like, "Hey! Guess what!? I'm a better fan than you!" And after you finish laughing maniacally, your friends will be so jealous!!!
We've recently been gearing up for the Cowtown Skankdown, hosted by yours truly: us! It's going to be at Crabtree Brewery in Greeley, CO and will feature some huge names! If you like The A-Oks, The Potato Pirates, or The Ruckus all the way from Kansas, you are not going to want to miss this show! More information about this will present itself as it gets closer. See you there!
We have been planning a midwest tour for this summer, and it may actually happen this time! Hooray! If you're from Pueblo, Albuquerque, Oklahoma City, or Kansas and it's just a little too much gas to come to us, expect us to come to you!!! And we'll have EPs! Oh my god! So good!!!
We are meeting a very special guest this weekend. While I don't want to divulge too much on this, all I can say is: you may see a LOT more gigs from The Ska Skank Redemption. We're very excited, and we hope you are too!
Until next time-- The Ska Skank Redemption

01/13/10- HAPPY NEW YEAR! Have a video blog:

And a flyer:

12/22/09- Hello again! Deja Vu show went pretty well, all things considered. Unfortunately, the Atlas show has been moved by Synthetic Elements to March 26th, so we just have to wait a little longer to play with them. Anyways, hope to see you at the show on the 8th! Should be killer!!

12/12/09: Happy December! We have a show this Friday at Deja Vu Coffee, and it is free! It starts at 7:30! We will also be opening for SYNTHETIC ELEMENTS at the Atlas Theater in Greeley, CO on January 30th. We also may be playing a show with Trichome at the AGGIE on January 2nd and a show at Super Joe Specialty Coffee on January 8th, but these haven't been confirmed yet. We will let you know, and can't wait to see you at a show!!!

11/10/09: Quick update: We will be recording this weekend, and we are very excited! We will try to keep you updated on the process and hopefully take some pictures. Also, Mark started a video blog on our facebook page, so be sure to check that out here! Also, if anyone wants us to play some shows/parties in the near future, let us know, as we probably can! Keep your eyes open for a quality demo!

11/1/09- Recent goings on: We had a crazy good time at the A-Oks Halloween party last night! Twas amazing, and even a little scary at times. We'd like to thank The A-Oks for putting the show on, and all the other bands for rocking so hard! We'd like to thank the kids who put the hole through the wall as well. That was awesome. Thanks to everyone who came to our Fort Collins and Greeley shows this month too!

This next month, we'll be recording for a couple of days! While we hope to get as much done as possible, we will at least have a new demo of super high quality done by then. Hooray!

We'll try and line up a show or two for November, but will probably focus on recording. Thanks for all your support.

9/01/09- HALLOWEEN SHOW ON...HALLOWEEN!!! (That's October 31st, in case you forgot). It's gonna be awesome!!! It's gonna be a house party at the home of The A-Oks, and you all are invited!!! YAY!!!! We will give you the address as soon as possible! Also, we're recording in November! Hooray less crappy demo!!
