2005 NEWS (JANUARY-APRIL)

4.30.05
Alright here's some updated news! The Ska Fest Fundraiser shows won't be going down this summer - there's just tons to do and we felt that it'd be better to put our efforts towards Ska Fest III than working on these fundraisers shows not knowing how beneficial they would even be. If you haven't joined the STREET TEAM, now's the time to do it! It's just starting to be active again and some AMAZING ska shows are listed in the MEMBER'S SECTION. Go and sign up!!

I know it's been a while since we've had an update, but things have been in the woodworks as of recently. Some news for now though:
Some Ska Fest fundraising shows are now in the making for a cooler and better Ska Fest III. We're hoping to have around 2 of these fundraising shows, in the beginning and end of June. These shows will hopefully let us make Ska Fest t-shirts, stickers, have some really awesome out of town bands play (even from Canada!) and we're also looking into bigger venues to host SFIII. Stay tuned guys.A new poll is up too, so go check it out!

WOW. Thanks a ton guys for everyone showin' up. Amanda and I had a blast and we hope everyone else did too. For the next week this site will continue to be updated with pictures from the show as well as the "band" section being updated with all of the bands that played.

Go ahead and leave a post in the forum in the "VOICE" section. We love to have feedback about anything from the show since we'll be trying to do this show a lot.

Also, Amanda and I are considering putting together a compilation CD from all the ska fest bands. We weren't able to record the show unfortunately, but we're gonna try and put a pretty rad CD together. If any of you didn't get a chance to sign up at the show, you can email us at SKAFESTMAIL@HOTMAIL.COM to say you're interested. And we'll email you with updates and when it's finished. The cd will have about 16 songs and will be probably 5 bucks.

Thanks again guys and keep on skankin'
Sincerely,
Erik & Amanda
