The Skopitones

The Skopitones bring to this world a mix of traditional Jamaican Ska and a jazzy and soulful voice.

After the successful experience that was Les Rockeurs de Valves, winners of the Envol et Macadam contest in 2006, many of the band members expressed their desire to explore the roots of ska. They added more horns to their lineup traded the rock and punk for the groove and skank of Jamaican music and completed the lineup with the powerful and silky voice of Lily Thibodeau! Thus were born The Skopitones.

The music of these 8 musicians rally a broad audience. Young rebels or experienced enthusiasts, they gather to listen and dance to the upbeat and festive music. Their interpretation of many tunes from the 60s repertoire is especially appreciated amongst the fans of the genre.

On stage, driven by the solid rhythm groove and supported by a blazing horn section, they are sure to make you move and skank the night away!

Les Skopitones

Les Skopitones c'est ce qui arrive quand on mélange du ska traditionnel jamaïcain avec une voix voix soul et jazzée.

Forts de l'expérience que furent Les Rockeurs de Valves, vainqueurs du concours Envol et Macadam 2006, plusieurs de ses membres ont exprimé le désir d’effectuer un retour aux sources musicales du ska. Pour ce faire, ils ont bonifié leur section de cuivres, transformé leur son punk-rock pour le rythme syncopé de la musique jamaïcaine et ont complété le tout en incorporant la voix puissante et douce de Lily Thibodeau! Ainsi sont nés Les Skopitones.

La musique des 8 musiciens rassemble une large audience. Jeunes rebelles ou enthousiastes expérimentés, ils viennent dancer et écouter la musique festive. Leur interprétation de plusieurs pièces du répertoire des années 60 est particulièrement appréciée par les amateurs de ce style musical.

Sur scène, menés par une solide section rhytmique et appuyés par une section de cuivres percutante, ils sauront vous faire bouger toute la nuit!

Thanks for adding!

If you're a ska band or ska musician - you NO LONGER EXSIST on MySpace - NO chart, No promotion = NO CHANCE

If you're a ska listener - go try and find a ska band in the charts or on MySpace Music ... thats right, SKA NO LONGER EXSISTS.

Please add a link to this profile in a comment to friends, or a mass post to friends, ask them to add the profile if they think ska should be returned as a genre.

Please do your bit and pass it on ASAP

Hi all! We have some news for our beloved fans! Like the most of you already know, we went trough some line-up changes in the past months. Those changes brought The Wax Buckets to a new level of sound and we want to share with you that new vibe. We recorded some live tracks lately and uploaded them on our myspace page. You can now hear new versions of "Sex", "Drunk & Out" and "Pick It Up!". Also, we have a surprise for you! A brand new track! So check it out! Your feet will probably start stomping before you even know what happens when you'll hear "Highjacking the Scene". 

Salut à tous! Nous avons de bonnes nouvelles pour nos chers fans! Comme la plupart d'entre vous le savez déjà, nous avons vécu quelques changements au niveau de nos membre pendant les derniers mois. Ces changements ont amené The Wax Buckets à un nouveau niveau de son et nous voulons partager avec vous cette nouvelle "vibe". Dernièrement, nous avons enregistré quelques tracks live et les avons mises sur notre page myspace. Vous pouvez maintenant y entendre de nouvelles versions de "Sex", "Drunk & Out" et "Pick It Up!". Aussi, nous avons une surprise pour vous! Une nouvelle track! Alors allez jetter un coup d'oeil!
