Slackers

One of the best nights of my life... and I've seen A LOT of shows.

This show was definitely one of the best I have been to in a long time. As usual, the Bowery Ballroom was a relaxed venue with a great atmosphere. The crowd was typical of a group of reggae & ska fans, laid back yet enthusiastic. The highlight of the show, of course, was the bands! It goes without saying that The Slackers provided a 5 star performance in their hometown, but I was surprised by how talented all of the openers were. All too often the crowd needs to survive a mediocre or unpleasant opener, but Roosevelt Dimes, Maddie Ruthless and (especially) The Del-Reys brought their A game and earned themselves a new fan. Finally, a well deserved kudos to those in charge of lighting and sound for doing a phenomenal job. Everyone involved in the show completely nailed it. Nights like this are the reason I go to shows.

Their 20th anniversary show was fantastic! These guys have been rocking for 20 years, and they still rock hard!!

most amazing ska band in the wold. great rhythm, great energy. Every song is a hit. They know how to work a crowd. Even after the show they stuck around to personally greet and meet all the people in attendance.

Such a good show!! Great energy, great music, would go again and again!!!

They were terrific, as always. I only wish that they had played longer.

This is one show we never miss. The Slackers are amazing - should probably move on to a decent venue. (Mohawk Place had live cockroaches running up and down the bar on this evening). Love watching the crowd dance and sing along with the intricately worded songs!
