This is our first post in the new Skamonics blog. Here is where you can expect gig updates; news about the band and its members; and perhaps the odd thought about music.<\/p>\n

Our first gig in 2010 is on Friday Jan 8th, and it’s upstairs at the Ritzy<\/a> in Brixton. We expect to play our first set at about 8:30.<\/p>\n

This will be our first gig playing with a slimmed down six person format. We’ll have two horns and a bit more emphasis on vocal numbers.<\/p>\n

This isn’t a change in our line-up as we will still do gigs with a full nine piece wall of ska sound, but it’s not always practical or economic to field the full team. We can’t even fit on some stages.<\/p>\n

The Evening Standard describes us<\/a> as a ska collective – which is just about right.<\/p>\n

They also say that we will be performing songs from our repertoire.<\/p>\n

This is puzzling as it’s a bit obvious. After all it would be quite hard to perform songs that weren’t in our repertoire, and simply by performing them we’d be adding them to our repertoire.<\/p>\n

But there will be at least a couple of new numbers, and the return of some that we have rarely played. Both pedants and ordinary people are very welcome.<\/p>\n

A good way to start 2010.<\/p>\n
