*see influences* Our mission is to get you skanking more than you ever have before!
We have been described (amongst other things) as:
"Eclectic, eccentric, intelligently monsterish skankin" (The Dr Teeth Big Band)
and also
"Five Iron Frenzy meets Catch 22" and apparently Blondie!
But have a listen, catch a show, and let us know what you think!
Skadigan formed in the summer of 2005, and have regularly gigged in Warwickshire and the surrounding region ever since! Skadigan's mission is to get you skanking and to keep it on the offbeat by blowing your mind with crazy ska punk/ska funk/mexican ska/cossack ska style songs about love, daytime TV and Myspace.
So far Skadigan have played with Fandangle, Cueball 8, Weeble, Roddy Radiation's Skabilly Rebels and the Dr. Teeth Big Band among others, and have recorded with ska legend Horace Panter from the Specials.
But what about the name?
Well... Kat and Kate went to see 'The Selecter', at which Nick Welsh (bassist) told them "Hey, I like your cardigan... heheh, SKAdigan!". Nick gave them the blessing of The Selecter, and so it was.
Keep checking the profile for dates of shows.

We are the Skabilly Rebels from Coventry, England - Home of 2Tone (so they say) and the Parsons nose. Since 2003 we've toured Ireland twice and extensively through Europe, taking in the Kato Club, Berlin, where the Live Lily Marlene Tour CD was recorded and the infamous Indra Club, Hamburg, where some other little known English band, The Beatles, held residency. Currently we're recording a new album, which seems to be taking a lifetime but is gonna be the one you can die happy in the knowledge of the piece of history you left behind. Watch out for 'Blues Attack' !!! Cheers from the Concrete Jungle The Skabilly Rebels
PRESSURE TONES
After many years supporting the Uk Ska and Scooter Scene, enjoying music from original Jamaican Reggae to Two Tone, Mod, Northern Soul and Punk, the 5 Northants members decided back in 2003, to combine all these musical influences into their very own sound and formed The Pressure Tones. The Pressure Tones have successfully produced their debut album entitled "Pressurized" which has been sold at gigs and their website, throughout europe and the United Kingdom. After successfully supporting bands such as Bad Manners, The Selecter, The Meteors, Skaville UK, The Toasters, Uk Subs, the band are looking forward to spreading the sound of The Pressure Tones to all parts of the country.
With the addition of a trumpet player in 2006, The Pressure Tones sound has become even tighter, and are set to take the live scene by storm. The band have also been getting regular airplay on BBC Radio Northampton's Weekender show, including being at number one for four weeks with their track "Strange Girl". 2007 saw a change of personnel on vocals, and the band secured more supports with top ska acts.
