Westbound Train, anyone? They are a really great traditional style ska band from Boston. Nothing like streetlight, but definitely recommend checking them out.

I was recently at Downtown Disney in Anaheim, CA. for the Labor Day weekend and found a Ska band called, "Half Past Two" performing. I took three videos of them and posted them up on YouTube. They thanked me for posting the videos that I shot at Downtown Disney. The lady on lead vocals was cute.

Anybody know of a ska band from the 50's (i think) named The Jolly Boys? I've been trying to get a hold of their music for years.

I don't think I saw Skankin Pickle throughout this whole thread. Why are they not mentioned yet?

How about some Let's Go Bowling, Jump with Joey, The Upbeat, Attaboy Skip?

Hi there,

I would try listening to JAZZ JAMAICA. I'm pretty sure most of the guys are based around London but they play in the old style much like the SKATALITES.
