Skazz - Authentic from ireland

SKAZZ AUTHENTIC SKA FROM IRELAND

Skazz play the original ska from the 60’s, with skanking brass and tight rhythms, solid beats and delicious vocal harmonies, riffs and licks.

Formed in 2007, after making the crossover from a swing jazz outfit, Skazz embraced the music of the early Ska & Rocksteady greats, such as the Skatalites, Roy Ellis, Toots & the Maytals and have delighted audiences all over Ireland and Europe with their enthusiastic and happy music.

Regulars at Cork Jazz, Dublin Ska Festival, Booleigh Ska Festival, Cork Ska & Reggae Festival and Ska Rox, Skazz are delighted to be playing at the new Boss Reggae Train Festival this July.

Skazz are also in great demand for weddings, parties, corporate events, bar-b-ques and gigs and will guarantee to get the crowd up and dancing to the beat.

Cork City Paper

! SKAZZ: This five piece are the embodiment of the Ska movement starting out as a swing and jazz outfit and converting in early 2007 to pure Ska vibes. In keeping with their jazz roots, Skazz have chosen the original Jamaican scene Ska of the 1960’s - when Caribbean mento and calypso first met American jazz and rhythm and blues. Having already shared stages with the likes of The Skatalites, Prince Buster, The Pioneers, Syramip, and performing regularly at the Cork Jazz Festival since 2009, Ted Fest, & the Electric Picnic, they have also played countless gigs and events all over Ireland and Europe this year looks like a promising year for Skazz.

It’s THE SKAZZ - absolutely brilliant JAMAICAN SKA, REGGAE AND LATIN MUSIC, this band are the top banana for dancing and shaking your thang! A fantastic brass section leads the way with tenor sax and trumpet ably backed by a tight rhythm section and skanking guitar riffs that will have to jiving away as though you were on the beach in trenchtown.

Great time, great people, great sound and what a sound . Pure heaven. If you haven't seen this band you need to. Went to see them twice this weekend and they have to be one of the tightest most entertaining bands you will ever see. If you love your ska, f**k even if you dont, go see them and I bet you will end up dancing and leaving a fan. Thanks for a great time hope to see yous soon again.
