It was a pleasure to spend Saturday night in Taupō with hometown heroes Skarpakazoo and their visitors from Wellington Ska Pai. Here’s Skarpakazoo playing their theme tune, which is always a boss move. Good humans in both these bands so check them out! #ska #nzska #wgtnska #04ska #tauposka

A Japanese ska band from Palmerston North, New Zealand? It happened! The Screaming Orgasms formed in 1991 while the members were all studying at International Pacific College. Here they are covering One Step Beyond (with an Offbeat on keys) #ska #nzska #wgtnska #04ska #japaneseska

A nice batch of videos of Wellington NZ ska legends Skapa just dropped on YouTube.

This is Skapa's cover of German ska heroes The Busters 'Orion'. The Busters were a huge influence on Skapa's sound and set-list which often included multiple Busters covers #ska #nzska
