If you are a ska fan and didn’t go to the House of Blues last Wednesday you missed out!
The Suburban Legends played a disco infused dance your pants off set with hits like I Want More and Up All Night. The funky guitar riffs and ska jams made it hard to keep still while in the crowd.

Big D and The Kids Table took the stage with authority. Big D is a Boston based band that plays an in your face punk tone with a ska influence. They had the crowd pumped and I could hear fans singing every lyric for all of the songs! You might remember them from the 2011 GreenWaves concert at UCF arena.
