OTTAWA SKA FEST NITE 1: SKA PUNK

THE RESIGNATORS (Korweinguboora, Australia Ska-Punk)
The Resignators, have been bringing their brand of 'Aussie' Ska Punk to the universe for the past eleven years. It’s a sound of melodic horns and floating keyboards fuelled by a tight, hard hitting rhythm section powered by a Jamaican inspired back beat that has been compared to The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Less Than Jake and Suicide Machines

LOS KUNG FU MONKEYS (Tijuana, Mexico - Ska Punk)
0ne of the most authentic and active ska/punk bands in the DIYscene, Los Kung Fu Monkeys; famous for their tireless non-stop touring, have shared the stage with The Addicts, NOFX, Misfits, Moby, Dropkick Murphys and more, gaining fans internationally in The U.K., Mexico, Europe, Canada and of course the U.S. 

SUITS N' TOQUES (Ott. Ska-Punk)
Suits n toques are a 6 piece ska punk band from Ottawa, Ontario. Known for their energetic stage shows, and ability to get everyone skanking like idiots, the band has been providing wild dance parties together since 2011. SNT has had the pleasure of playing along side a plethora of local Ottawa talent over the past few years as well as out of town acts like ska legends The Planet Smashers, Belgium's own Skarbone 14 and Toronto's Panama Red.
