Subject: 2.1: Introduction

In response to all of those ``Isn't ska some dance form of reggae?''
questions, I present the following historical background to the music we
call ska, gleaned from liner notes I have lying about the place, various
postings to (news:alt.music.ska), and sundry emailings with helpful ska
fans.

*** [August 96]
  The Hypertext Ska FAQ has moved to its final home!  The new URL is
<a href="http://twillis.com/ska/">http://twillis.com/ska/</a>,
at the International House of Ska.  This webified FAQ contains text, links
and graphics that don't fit here in alt.music.ska.

a month, whether it needs to be or not.

       Michael Cancilla (mailto:mcancill@polyslo.calpoly.edu) posted a long list
of ska bands that I have incorporated into this FAQ.  That list has grown
to list over 500 bands!  Mike Fragassi (mailto:mfragass@ucs.indiana.edu) emailed
me about 10k in response to my request for more info and is still at it.
Thanks Mikes!  Thanks also to everyone else in a.m.s and other reaches of
netspace who sent me info.

       Dance harder!

Video
=====

   Subject: 2.5: Is anyone doing ska video?

   Yes.  Bradford Stein has finished a West Coast ska-umentary called
`The Ska Parade'. The 30 minute video includes interviews and
performances of Let's Go Bowling, Donkey Show, Skeletones and Jump With
Joey.  [RPM]   Contact him at
"A to Y Productions"

P.O. Box 5766

SKAPARADE@aol.com.

   Recently, Aldis Strazdins started a new ska documentary, focusing on
six Midwestern (US) ska bands, called `Last Train: Ska in the
Heartland'.  The bands are Mustard Plug, Exceptions, Gangster Fun,
Weaker Youth Ensemble, MU330 and High Ball Holiday.  *News! The film is
now in post-production.* More news as it develops.

   A video being produced currently for Rude Buoy Enterprises by Kane
Docker contains many of Australia's current ska bands Live and Videod.
It should be available very soon.

   For details on this new video, please contact:

   Two Tone released a video called `Two Tone Presents the SPECIAL AKA
On Film' (Chrysalis), which is now out of print.

   More titles, less information:

   `The Specials/Specials AKA'.

   `English Beat', with live clips and videos.

   `Madness - Complete & Utter'.

   `Madness - Madstock', with concert footage.

   `Madness - Take It Or Leave It'.

   `Ska Parade', with California bands including See .

   `Ska Explosion', with 80's British bands like Potato 5.

   `The Amazing Skatalites', Japanese import, available at Tower
Records.

   A new video of Australian ska bands called `Dancecrasher' has just
been released - details to follow as they come in.

   -----------------------------

Movies
======

   Subject: 2.6: Are there any feature-length ska movies?

   Yes.  There is a great concert film by Joe Massot about ska in 1980
Britain called `Dance Craze'. It features live footage of Bad Manners,
The (English) Beat, The Bodysnatchers, Madness, The Specials, The
Selecter.  Rico Rodriques, trombonist from the Skatalites, plays horns
with The Specials.  You can order the video from Beat Hotel Records,
3022 W.  12 Mile Rd., Berkely, MI, 48072 USA, (313) 544-2485 (and
probably other places, too).

   In the beach-blanket revival film with Annette Funicello, `Back to
the Beach', Fishbone backs Annette singing "Jamaican Ska (Do the Ska)"
and the beach crowd skanks away (sort of).

   For real rude boy action, check out The Harder They Come, Jimmy
Cliff.

   Lovely ska music swells the soundtrack of Scandal (1989), the story
of the 1963 Profumo affair in the UK.  The soundtrack was released as
`Scandal SKA'.  Fashion tips abound for the trendy rudeboy or mod.

TV
--

   There was a brief mention of ska in a humorous moment on `Police
Squad' when Dick Clark asked the informant Johnny the shoeshine man
what ska music was.  The informant suggested that ska would never catch
on, misrepresenting it as "nothing but a modern offshoot of reggae,
with white rock influences".

   -----------------------------

Books
=====

   Subject: 2.7: Are there any books about ska?

   *N.B.* There is some overlap  with See , and See .  (Thanks to Brian
Rosenthal, and Matt Comeau, for some of this information!)

   Here are some mentioned on the net.

   [The info is sketchy, so if you have more complete infomation,
please send it to me.  Tomas.]

   `Bad Manners',  the unauthorized story of Fatty from 2Tone.

   `Boss Sounds Classic Skinhead Reggae', Marc Griffiths.  It is

   `The Complete Richard Allen Volume One & Two', Richard Allen, S.T.
Publishing.  (Novels with skinheads/rudies as characters.)

   `The History of Rock' series dedicated an issue to Two-Tone ska.

   `Saturdays Heroes', by Joe Mitchell.  Fiction about soccer
hooliganism.

   `SKA '80', which covered Two-Tone bands and associated bands like
Dexy's Midnite Runners.

   `Skinheads', has some info on ska.  An American printing from 1986
was mentioned.

   `Spirit of 69 -- A Skinhead Bible', by George Marshall, S.T.
Publishing.

   `The Two Tone Book For Rude Boys', Omnibus.  Out of print.  About the
1979-1981 British ska scene.

   -----------------------------

Zines
=====

   Subject: 2.8: What are some ska-related 'zines (fan-created
magazines)?

   Mike Fragassi, mfragass@ucs.indiana.edu, who supplied much of this
info advises:
         I have personally not yet tried any of these, except for the
     WNUR newsletter, from which I have gotten the addresses of all of
     the rest. Some of these seem to be info-sheets for a given band.
     Others are more comprehensive ("Rude" and "F.B.I.", for instance,
     are highly recommended).  All zines should be assumed to be written
     in the language of the country they come from.  Prices are the most
     recent info, again obtained from Chuck Wren's newsletter; neither
     me nor he nor anyone who handed you a copy of this FAQ are
     responsible for mail screw-ups or unreturned money; if in doubt,
     send a SASE first.

   More Internet 'zines are indexed in the CRAM index, at this URL:

   Chris Tharp sent me the following note about this new zine:
     You see, me and R.S. (resident skinhead) have begun a scooter zine
     that is chalk full of ska stuff like interviews with the
     skatterbrains and King Apparatus.  Our main focus is on scooters;
     however, ska is an essential component of the Carla Ronci Scooter
     Zine (who's Carla Ronci? she may become the patron saint of the
     scooter).

     contain an interview with Hi Ball Holiday, a whole bunch of stuff
     on the American Ska-thic 2 party, the incredible true life story
     of what happened to Mista Mina, and lot's of other cool things.

     Also, we have come for your advertising!  Anyone looking to put an
     ad in our zine is welcome to.  Our policy is as follows; ads

other ska resources on the Internet?

   There are a few options.

Monkey Man
..........

   `Monkey Man', The EMail Ska Distribution list, is available from
Joel Eisner.  Joel's hopes for `Monkey Man' are:
     The sole purpose of the newsletter is to unite people interested
     in SKA and the SKA culture, past and present, since the popular
     media time and time again over looks this important musical form.
     Finally, I only ask three things:
       1. Send me your e-mail address (if I don't have it)

       2. Send some e-mail  (I am not going to write this whole thing
          alone)

       3. Spread the word
                  Thank you,
     Joel Eisner (eisner@primate.wisc.edu).
     1223 Capitol Ct
     Madison, WI  53715
   Already hundreds of people are signed up.  Contact Joel and get
involved today.  Tell your Usenet-less friends!

Ska confer group

   There is also a ska confer group that runs like a listserv (all

     music and antics of the British group Madness and its spin-offs.

     Rastafarian interest are discussed in the vibrant reggae newsgroup.

   -----------------------------

Albums

     more traditional Hepcat through the "freestyle" hip-hop influenced
     ska of See No Evil, Maroon Town and Messer Banzani (It's
     interesting that the hip-hop ska thing never caught on in America).
