VOODOO GLOW SKULLS + Slagerij

Voodoo Glow Skulls:

In their sixteen years of existence, the Voodoo Glow Skulls have an impressive list of achievements. Seven albums, one million records sold, appearances in exotic locations like Brazil and Japan as well as the creation of a record store, record label, recording studio and a music venue attests to the remarkable creativity and energy of the band. Formed in 1988, Voodoo Glow Skulls meshed hardcore punk, traditional ska, tough guitar riffs and the Mexican music of their roots to create the prototype for the West Coast ska-core sound, influencing a wide range of bands from Sublime to No Doubt. Unflinchingly honest, their songs often used humor to comment on harsh political realities – from racial inequity to unrest overseas. Singing in both Spanish and English, Voodoo Glow Skulls’ bilingual musical tradition has been a hallmark of the band since they began.

Slagerij:

Slagerij are a solid, high energy 3 piece stompin ska-punk act from Swindon, UK with an infectious original sound that get the crowd involved throughout their captivating live show. Twists and turns of exciting ska riffs and powerhouse sing-along punk-rock choruses that boom through the soundsystem, will definatly move your feet and get you screaming OI! OI! OI! with a fist in the air. Using their own D.I.Y. style, Slagerij have been launching themselves onto the map with a self-titled debut album release in May this year, heading out to tour the UK throughout 2010 and in June, they went out to tour in the U.S. with some of ska-punk's most recognised bands such as Fishbone, Big D and the Kids Table, Assorted Jellybeans, Mustard Plug on the Ska in the Park 2010 festival in California and with a string of dates across the westcoast US with denver ska-punks The A-ok's.
