Capturing the Uptones in the studio is no easy feat. With the mighty Michael Rosen’s help, I think I’ve helped The Uptones make a great recording. Each member of The Uptones is a tremendous musician in their own right, but together, these Ska lovers, are an overpowering musical force. Working with them is challenging, but great fun. I hope you take the time to listen the Skankin’ Foolz Unite.
Yay, thanks Matthew! I have to say you named your record company well -it’s fun to play the songs live for our fans, it was fun to record them live in the studio, and it’s fun to see them get out there into the world intact! You and Michael are an amazing team, this record couldn’t have been made with anyone else. Looking forward to more shows and another batch of recordings – we have some good ones brewing! Oh and Moose, you’re right, they put us under “Alternative!” Alternative to what? We’re a Ska band!
From generation to generation!!!
I’m passing down the Uptones to my daughter!
We were visiting SF….on Haight St with my
16 year old when we went looking for the new
Uptones CD in Amoeba Records.
This brought back so many fond memories of when
I was her age and bought LP’s there and was the
biggest Uptones fan. I traveled to every gig
possible back then and it remains to this day the most
fantastic memories….skankin to the Uptones!
Thanks for all the great music you make and with the new tunes
I can continue making memories…with my teenager now.
Cheers,
Julie B.
Oi oi!
Soundin awesome as ever!
Couple o questions
Do you know where I can get a copy of this in the UK?
And is it just download only or is there a CD version?
Cheears!
Phil, our music is available everywhere on the web.
If you can’t find our CDs in your favorite record store, do us a favor and ask for them for it. We wouldn’t even mind you demanding them, but don’t be rude on our account.
LOL!!!!!
because that would make you a “RUDEBOY” !
=P
Love the album…need to go stomp my feet in in the record store until the bring it to me!
