Thank you to everyone who came out to Ska Fest IV today. A truly beautiful day today too. A huge thanks to the awesome bands that played as well as the great staff at the Creepy Crawl. I hope all of you had a great time. Chris from skafreaks.com was able to record Ska Fest IV on video so I'll be updating you guys with what's going on with that as soon as that gets finished up.

A huge thanks to The Monskasities and their great contribution to the St. Louis ska scene. You guys will be missed by hundreds of people. Ska Fest just won't be the same.

For the next few days I'll be updating the site with the usual Ska Fest Aftermath: Bands, History, Voice, Shows, Pictures, etc. so be sure to check back every now and then for updates!

If you took pictures from the show - SEND EM IN! I'm relying on all of you guys for the pictures, and I'll be doing a culmination of most pictures that everyone took from the show for the pictures section. I'll be posting a thank you list with the names of everyone who contributed pictures so when you send them in - make sure you put your name in the email. Send your pictures to skafestmail@hotmail.com.

Thanks again,
Erik
