Popes of Chillitown

4 of the finest high energy New Wave Ska bands from all 4 corners of the UK are coming to Wigan for a night of high octane riotous live Ska/Punk. Popes of Chillitown are a Ska/Dub/Punk band from London, who have been rampaging through the UK scene for the last few years like an unstoppable grooving, skanking juggernaut. A straight-up ska-punk band they are not, expertly mashing the energy of upbeat ska, punk, 2-tone and drum & bass with the groove of reggae and dub, adding in the lyrical flow of hip hop and finishing it all off with a generous helping of catchy melodies and hooks. The Hostiles are a ska-punk band from Ayr, Scotland, described by Punktastic.com as ‘upbeat, effervescent, bouncy and danceable’. Reflecting the transatlantic origins of the band members themselves, their sound introduces sunny US ska-punk to slamming Scottish ska-core, dragging the best of both of these musical worlds kicking and screaming onto the stage. The Hostiles’ live show is detonated by the meeting of these highly-combustible elements, underpinned by the two-pronged brass backbone of double trombone, and the band’s relentless drive to perform. Since releasing their debut album in 2009, The Hostiles have played hundreds of gigs and captured cult followings in Scotland, England and far beyond. The Platitudes are approximately 8 people who love to cobble together ska, punk and other junk whilst getting distracted by video game theme tunes and shoddy covers. RedeyedJedi are a Ska band from across Lancashire and merseyside playing their own brand of big brassy catchy ska tunes.
