The Slackers’ Vic Ruggiero said it best "We’re not Jamaicans, we’re New Yorkers playing Jamaican music". One minor difference (approximately 2,000 miles difference), we’re from Los Angeles. Not really all from East LA, but east of LA.
We do what we can with what we got, whats been given to us. Our surroundings and everything we hear influences us in all ways. An awesome show, hearing amazing lyrics, hearing amazing beats, tough days, and good days all influence us.
Most of all, we do it just for the love and fun of it all.

First, its a lil' late I know but props for the show with Rancid.
Second, please tell me there are some tickets for the show Sunday with the Skatalites left...and if there are how does one Samoan go about getting them.
Yo peeps, is there a digital flyer for the Skatalites show? if not... is it cool if I make one? so that we can start posting. We're excited about the show, just let us know. THE SKATALITES SOON COME!!
You guys ROCKED with Rancid!!. It was my first time to hear you and I was really impressed! Couldn't stop dancing - your music is infectious! I hope you guys come up "north" again soon!!
