The English Beat brings ska-punk fusion to explosive, danceable life once again, this time with plenty of dancing room in The Warehouse. Busting out of the late 70s UK post-punk scene, the band led the charge of ska-revival bands dubbed "2 Tone" and brought 60s pop and soul tunes to a new generation. Selling out nearly every show they've ever played at FTC, it appears that fans can't get their fill of these guys. They've also released an album of new infectious up-tempo major-key ska music since we last saw them called Here We Go Love. "Here We Go Love is convincing evidence that Wakeling still has plenty of good music left in him, and he leads a band that's tight, versatile, and full of joy and fire." - AllMusic "The English Beat hasn’t dated one iota over the three decades plus since their last LP." - Glide Magazine FACEBOOK EVENT RSVP for updates ARTIST WEBSITE englishbeat.net Concert Tickets $55

Description

The English Beat brings ska-punk fusion to explosive, danceable life once again, this time with plenty of dancing room in The Warehouse. Busting out of the late 70s UK post-punk scene, the band led the charge of ska-revival bands dubbed "2 Tone" and brought 60s pop and soul tunes to a new generation.

Selling out nearly every show they've ever played at FTC, it appears that fans can't get their fill of these guys. They've also released an album of new infectious up-tempo major-key ska music since we last saw them called Here We Go Love.
