The Bands
*********
Hey, if we're going to dance, someone has to make the music!
Here in provide some number of ska band ..from A-O :)
Bandlist
========
Subject: 3.3: *What are the names of some ska bands?*
These names are culled from various sources, especially Michael
Cancilla (mcancill@polyslo.calpoly.edu), Brian Rosenthal
(brianr@skamusic.com) and others on alt.music.ska. Giusy Grasselli
sent
in more Italian bands. Hector Rivas (rivash@ing.ula.ve) sent
info
about Venezuelan bands.
Thanks to everyone who sends me information. We now list
over *660*
bands! Yes, we finally go `A' to `O'.
The format: Bandname
(Location) {Style} [time period]
e.g.
The Fubars (Verona) {Funky ska} [1989-1992]
So, please help! Send me any info you have for this little
project,
which I think will make this band list much more informative.
Also, for bands with non-English names,
I will alphabetize by the
name, *including the article* (`Los,' `Die,'
`La,' etc.). That is,
`Les Enfants de St. Gall' are listed under `L,'
even though, in a more
multilingual world I would list them under `E.'
Additionally, Jay Vidheecharoen, jvidhee@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu,
snail
mail at: 1800 Engel Road #747, Lawrence KS 66045,
is developing a
"Directory of Ska." Contact Jay for details.
