SKA-STEADY FROM THE 'NAUTS TO TAKE YOUR DANCING FEET RIGHT BACK TO '66. JOHNNY'S REFLECTIVE MOOD MEETS TIP-A- TOP'S FINEST SKA ARTISTES SIR JAY & THE SKATANAUTS WHO TURNED UP WITH A SCORCHING DON D TRIBUTE. HAUL IT FROM THE TOP!
"The media thrives on predicted music trends where trad-boom and revival explosion are familiar terms. For those lucky to catch Skatanauts live shows, it is evident those cats are much more than followers of fashion. Their dedication to the rough street sound of 60s Kingston, JA can be heard in the very first tone they strike. Both tense and slow cookers, but listen keenly and you will sense that pulsating beat sumptuously counterpointed by Johnny Valuti's smooth voice on The Upshot, as well as Andy's delicate trombone play onBarefoot Boy, reminiscent of the great Don Drummond."
A 10-piece outfit from Switzerland, The Skatanauts’ Latin, Jazz and Rhythm & Blues infused Offbeat is devoted to the authentic beat that conquered the world in 1964. Playing exclusively original compositions, they strive that their honest approach to music can be heard in every tone and strikes a nerve with the young AND old. Their mission is quite simple: to make you move and groove - for days and extra days!
