2 February’s ago, English Beat and Bad Manners played in New York City at Irving Plaza and it was an excellent ska show! The bands are currently on tour together, touring select cities throughout the country. I didn’t want to miss out on seeing this spectacular ska show again!

Who said ska was dead? Apparently whoever said that wasnt at the packed show at Irving Plaza last night. English Beat and Bad Manners were in town, and were finishing up a winter tour together. Dave Wakeling and The Beat were celebrating their 30th anniversary, and Bad Manners were returning to the East Coast to play their classic hits. Its been awhile since I was at a full fledge ska show but I had a blast!
