Influences
Ska is about unity. If we all didn't love the music and each other then our scene wouldn't survive. When you come to this show you will be surrounded by friends, that is what sets this show apart from any other music scene in the world.

   About Ska Weekend
Ska Weekend is going into its 6th year in 2008. Lots of changes are coming to make this festival more fun for all of you. The venue change to the World's Fair Park Performance Lawn will put the entire festival on grass, and a large open area for venders, exhibitions, and more. The show will feature 17 of the hardest working bands in the country. The bands you see in your towns, the bands that are sweating in tour vans with no AC, the bands who are toughing out gas prices just to spread the music we all love. That is what you will see at Ska Weekend 2008.

More info will come as we update the myspace page.

Hey all you Mafia fans!
We've got some awesome news, and some not so awesome news. The awesome news is that we have a SHOW ON JUNE 12TH at the 1st Baptist Church in Westfield, NJ! It's gonna be an wonderous lineup.
The not so awesome news is that we're breaking up, and THIS IS THE LAST TIME EVER TO SEE THE MAFIA PLAY. After this, there will be no more Cats Pooping on Pillows, no more Michael J Fox attempting to play Nintendo Wii, and most of all, no more Nosebleeds.
And we're gonna divorce Awful Waffle LIVE on stage.

June 12 @ Westfield 1st Baptist

Hola!

You can swing by our myspace site to check out our new videos!




For those who haven't heard, we'll be in the studio these next few months to record a new album with the renowned reggae singer, Eyon Irie.
After that it's summer shows and writing songs for the next Orbits album!

In the meantime, if you don't have our self-titled cd yet, you can still pick it up on CD Baby and Itunes.
