Formed in 2003, The Skabilly Rebels rose from the ashes of The Specials and continued the course of blending Ska and Punk with Roddy’s signature Rockabilly guitar work. Their sound is steeped in the cool of the 1950's-80’s era, and the rhythms come down on you with an all-out Blues Attack. The Skabilly Rebels are sure to get the crowd moving! As a hit songwriter, Roddy’s creations have been featured on movie and television soundtracks and commercials across the globe. Songs like “Concrete Jungle", "Rat Race" and "Hey, Little Rich Girl" were recently used in the BBC’s hit series “This Town.” His contribution to modern music is immense, as he single-handedly brought about the Ska Punk movement, while he also helped to create the world’s fascination with post-Jamaican music, but have been covered by artists like Tim Timebomb (Rancid), and Amy Winehouse.

Monkey started the show off right with high energy ska and The Inciters kept the vibes rolling with some amazing soul that had the crowd on their feet. The Steady 45’s were absolutely outstanding with Andre laying down soulful lyrics that rivaled the greats and kept me dancing all night. Great crowd, great venue, great bands, amazing night.
