Local Ska: Local Skank

Montreal, one of our other favorite cities, has an amazing ska scene.  New Orleans, not so much.  We’re not complaining–there’s brass, funk, soul, garage, Russian mafia stuff, all kinds of jams…but we’re thin on ska.  But hope prevails:  We have The Local Skank, an all girl (oops…one guy) band blending ska with punk attitude, created from a Craigslist ad!    Rock on, girls and guy!  Check out their CD:

and our pics of their recent show at Maison:
