The British Defeat: Results To Sydney - May 2014
THE ENGLISH BEAT - As a result of mind-boggling achievement of their first ever visit of Sydney in 2012, ska forefathers, THE ENGLISH BEAT direct by Dave Wakeling along with his all-star posse, are coming back for a repeat skanking treatment next Might!
Charging onto the picture as 'the hottest thing since the Pennsylvania collapse' in 1979, Birmingham's Ska Kings sustained an equally volatile profession, spearheading the English Ska movement along with influential acts like The Specials, Madness and The Selecter. Their sound is a combination of ska, punk and reggae. Hypnotic, rhythmic and danceable while staying politically aware and socially active.
The present US-based incarnation features a setlist jam packed with enthusiast favourites - Reflection In the Restroom, Save That For Later, Also Nice to Speak To, Stand Down Maggie, Hands Off She's Mine, I Confess and their 2Tone Records debut, a skankin' protect of Barbecue Robinson's classic, Holes Of A Clown to name a few!
If last visit's Sold-Out shows in Brisbane, Perth and Sydney are such a thing to pass, there's no requirement think - seats may go quickly, because The Language Beat is extremely alive, throwing and more contagious than ever before!!
“Dave Wakeling along with his posse doled away the sweetness and ska every one had come for.” Tone Deaf “Dave Wakeling has assembled an amazing group and is playing his hits with exactly the same raucous enthusiasm that produced The Language Beat among the largest functions of the New-Wave Era” SLO New Occasions VISIT TIMES 2014
