Ska!
heretic:
even a mediocre ska band that plays thier shit well is a fun show, reference: Long Shot Hero. they're relatively generic, but they kicked of thier album tour at a show i put together and played in, and they rocked really hard. i bought their CD from em, but when i played it later, even though they played all the songs off it (EP) it was kinda bad. at least nothing special. ska shows though, are great times.
My Aim Is True:
So yeah, i heard the Bosstones in like 1997, and then my first ever show was a local ska band called Stinky Kinard, and I've been going to ska shows since. There are a ton of really crappy ska bands out there, but some of my favorite live shows have been ska shows, and I still get on big kicks of digging up my old ska CDs sometimes.
My favorite ska bands of all time are Fishbone and Spitvalves. I saw Spitvalves over 30 times before they broke up, and we got to be pretty good friends. I miss them, and I wish the members' new bands would play out more.

Yeah I love ska man! Ska-core it pretty good, if ya like genre-hybrids lol.
The Flatliners are amazing, as are The Toasters and Streetlight Manifesto. I'm going to see The Toasters in August at the Norwich Waterfront. I'm also seeing Capdown play with A, but I'll probably leave before A come on because I personally think they suck my trunk. If you havent heard farse, check them out. They broke up like 2 years ago but their stuff is wicked cool.
Peace

I dislike ska-shows more than I dislike listening to ska. Possibly because I don't like ska, and thus normally spend the duration of our local ska bands sets at mixed genre shows scowling somewhere.
Might just be that we have particularly shit ska round here of course. Other people seem to dig it.
