Mothership Playlist

• "Kill 'em All" by R2 the Specialist (Audiovisual Drum N Bass) [soundcloud.com/r2thespecialist/kill-em-all], performing at The Phoenix Theater in Petaluma!


This is a reminder from Marilyn: When going to venues to listen to music, make sure that you buy drinks and food from the venue. They're supplying you music and a good time and can't make money if you don't buy food and drinks. That could make the venue have to close down or not have music. So remember, help support your venues, which support the bands, and the people. Let's not have them closed down from lack of common sense to purchase food and drinks when you're there! Thank you.

43 Years of Ska!!! Hoorah!
• The Bracers (Rocksteady and Reggae dripping with soul) [jokesforfeelings.com] [facebook.com/jokesforfeelings] [instagram.com/jokesforfeelings]

THE TOASTERS: 43 Years of Ska
“In my opinion, The Toasters are to ska in America the 1980s and beyond what The Specials were to ska in the U.K. in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, and what the Skatalites were to ska in Jamaica in the 1960s. The Toasters were innovators, creators, shapers of the music, evolving it in a fresh direction, blending it with the cultural influences in a very American manner, and I mean that in a completely complimentary way. Just as Byron Lee & the Dragonaires brought professionalism and polish to ska, allowing others to benefit from the fruits of their labor, so too did the Toasters’ music allow numerous other bands to share in the spotlight of skill and success, many of whom have gone on to great heights. Upon the shoulders of giants. Oh, yeah, and they kick ass!”
-Heather Augustyn, Author of SKA , An Oral History

After 43 years, The Toasters are hitting the gas, not the brakes. With an international all-star line-up their whirlwind global tour continues unabated across the continents. Performances are scheduled in South America, Asia and Russia on top of regular touring in the USA, Europe and Canada.
Formed on the Lower East Side of NYC the band is the longest running US SKA formation. They bridge the gap between England’s 2-Tone movement and the American Ska explosion of the 90’s which they are rightfully credited with starting. During the 3rd Wave Ska revival The Toasters formed the famous Moon Records label and kick-started the careers of dozens of bands.

In hardcore, the pit can be performative– clapping replaced by stage dives, cheers replaced by back-kicks or circle pitting. But you can always tell the difference between going through the motions and truly visceral emotion, especially while watching a band of Jesus Piece’s pedigree. In a recent NYC appearance, the quintet turned a typically indie live room into a warzone complete with humans as step stools, railings and wall-mounted tables as diving boards, and missiles created from anything not nailed down, including the disco ball.  “The number one thing is the live performance,” says drummer Luis Aponte regarding JP’s venomous live reputation. “You can be in the studio and make that record sound insane but if you’re not giving that same energy, that same feeling when you play live, it just doesn’t matter.”

A throwback from back in the day...

===*===*===


Why does Thee Mothership Connection mostly posts Bandcamp links?
When you purchase a song on Bandcamp to support your favorite artist, you typically pay about $1. The majority of this amount goes directly to the artist, with only 15% going to Bandcamp. To achieve a similar level of support on Spotify, you would need to listen to a song approximately hundreds of times just to gift them that dollar. Keeping these figures in mind, it's worth considering the impact of your support the next time you come across a new favorite song. Have a great day
