If you live in the Northwest and plan to make one trip this summer, I recommend checking out the Victoria Ska Festival! It's the only event of it's type in this corner of the world, and it's a quick drive and ferry ride up, or just a hop onto the victoria clipper, which takes you from downtown Seattle right to downtown Victoria.
The Festival runs from July 8-11th and has 2 or 3 shows each day, all within walking distance. All information about the shows, transportation, and accomodations can be found at www.victoriaskafest.ca

So sorry to Jules Maes and all our fans. ManAlive is unable to play on Friday night due to our drummers work accident and resulting hand surgery. We are looking forward to getting back at it in a few weeks; hopefully at Jules Maes in the near future!
We've posted some new live recordings from recent shows we've been doing in Seattle, Portland and Bellingham. Stop by and check 'em out. Let us know what you think... http://www.uncledoodad.com/live_music.html Cheers!
