from Ska blah blah Mr. T-Bone To See America, again!
Posted on September 7th, 2009 by JJ Loy
That’s right- Everyone’s favorite Italian Ska Boss, Mr. T-Bone, is planning not one, but two more tours in the US. Here’s the details that were passed along to me…
Mr. T-Bone will appear with Brooklyn’s The Forthrights, for two shows this month with The Slackers:
Sept 25th SLACK-FEST @ Bowery Ballroom NYC
Sept 27th Middle east downstairs + The Slackers Boston MA
And later on, in January, you can expect Mr. T to hit up both coasts and spots between. He even hinted that Chicago will have a date on the tour, which means that mid-westerners like myself might even get a chance to dance.
Also, keep your eyes peeled for his latest album Heroes, to be release on LP by Jump Up, and on CD by Special Potato sometime soon.
