AFTERNOON CONCERT: JAYA THE CAT & VOODOO GLOW SKULLS

Sunday 31 January 2016 2016

Support: Drunktank.In their 24 years of existence, the Voodoo Glow Skulls have an impressive list of achievements. 9 albums, one million records sold, appearances in exotic locations like Brazil and Japan as well as the creation of a record store, record label, recording studio and a music venue attests to the remarkable creativity and energy of the band. Formed in 1988, Voodoo Glow Skulls meshed hardcore punk, traditional ska, tough guitar riffs and the Mexican music of their roots to create the prototype for the West Coast ska-core sound. Unflinchingly honest, their songs often used humor to comment on harsh political realities – from racial inequity to unrest overseas. This is a special band indeed.

Half Dutch, half American, founded in Boston and now rocking away in Amsterdam. Jaya The Cat plays an original bled of reggae, ska and punk rock – dosed with dub and dance hall beats – all blending into a musical soundtrack to support tales filled with drunken sunrises, narrow escapes, dysfunctional love affairs, political disillusionment and optimistically raised glasses, through seedy bars, carnival parades and late night dives.

Drunktank brings you fast, melodic, sing-along 90’s skatepunk in the tradition of Epitaph, Fat Wreck Chords and Burning Heart bands, combined with riffs and guitar harmonics from 80’s metal. The band started out in The Hague more than ten years ago, but are now signed in the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark and Japan.

“The songs are done, the band is tight, vocals and backingvocals worked out perfectly and the guitar-riffs and solo’s bring this music on the crossing of metal and skatepunk” – Live XS Magazine
