Einburgh Festival Gigs: Bombskare @ Whistle Binkies 2010/09/08


So, Edinburgh's 20-legged ska monster returns to rock up the fest!

Well, maybe. I'm being a sad sack tonite and staying in, but a mate said they're playing. Can't even confirm this coz Whistle Binkie's listings page only displays upcoming shows, and it's technically tomorrow now.

Anyway, fine excuse to share some awesome ska!

"I'm So Happy" is one of my fave Bombskare tracks, but this live handycam recording is the only thing I can find on Youtube the now. The quality doesn't do them justice, and it's not the complete performance either, but it should give you an idea of their live energy!

Another fave is "Fistful of Dynamite", a soaring instrumental skankalong reminiscent of Apache. This is the promo vid so it actually sounds alrite.

Seen these guys in St Andrews last year, and more recently in Edinburgh at the Club 54-46 ska nite, 4 hours of hi-energy skankin grooves! Their mates The Big Hand were up first, and I got to mosh about to Bombskare with their trumpet player after they had finished the set!

Seeing as these two go together so well, here's a couple of Big Hand faves as well.
