NYC SKA Legends, The Toasters live at The Chance Theater, Poughkeepsie

Over thirty years ago a spark on the Lower East Side of Manhattan lit the imagination of the American music scene and spread like wildfire around the globe.  The music was Ska and the band was The Toasters.  The 2-Tone sound re-created in their own image by this unruly group of ruffians mixed classic 70’s British sound with east side Punk and Rock and is now regarded as being the precursor to the Third Wave of Ska.   NYC Ska was born and The Toasters hit the road.   Hard.

The Toasters at The Chance Theater InsetOver 5,000 gigs later the sparks are still flying and the band has picked it up again starting with their 2011 30th Anniversary tour.   Some of the faces may be different but, of course, the song remains the same.  The distinctive Toasters sound has recently been hallmarked as one of CBGB’s 20 core bands on Clear Channel Radio.

 

To mark the occasion The Toasters grand 30th Anniversary tour starting in 2011, there was even a special brew of Toasters 30th IPA flowing from the vats of SKA BREWING COMPANY in Boulder, Colorado!  The Toasters have been touring heavily ever since, with much acclaim from Billboard, New York Times, Alternative Press, MTV and many others.

But the band is always more interested in just playing for their fans.  To that end the group continues their mission to reignite the Ska scene around the globe, playing from Siberia to Istanbul to Eastern Europe and back.
