Deal's Gone Bad

[ron the dial]

They are a Chicago ska/soul band, and I just got back from seeing them live for the billionth time. Not only do they put out solid fucking tracks, are they are cool cats to boot. Check them out if that is your bag.

Also worth checking out are Lord Mike's Dirty Calypsonians.

I used to listen to heaps of ska and swing and stuff when I was a bit younger, so maybe I'll have to give this a bash. I've always liked it, just a bit out of "the loop" when it comes to ska and stuff these days.

Gonna find a torrent to d/l if I can.

[mitchables]

No torrent, though I didn't really hold my breath for finding one. Gonna have to LimeWire it up.

Yeah, they don't have any torrents. Let me see if I can get my hands on the CDs (not sure where they are at the moment), and I'll try and upload them for you.
