Vegas ska punk act Be Like Max will be skanking all over the western US this summer as part of the inaugural Ska Revival Tour. The tour is headlined by Survay Says! (fresh off their tour with 3rd Wave bigwigs Reel Big Fish) and The Last Slice. The Ska Revival Tour also features Kill Lincoln, The A-Oks, No Such Noise and Joystick with more bands on select dates.
What is the Ska Revival Tour? According to the tour’s Facebook page:
It’s really not that ska left… that is not the point. The point is simple, over the past few years I’ve heard many people say the words, “no one is breaking out.” I’ve watched people try and reason why for a long while and decided, it’s time to try something different. We’re all doing similar things…but alone. Networking, but worrying about me first, that’s human nature though! This is The Ska Revival Tour. A tour featuring easily over 20 ska bands from around the USA at different times, even if only for a date or two. We chose to work together. It’s that simple. Why do this alone…when we can work together.
We will document this tour every step of the way. Booking… dealing with promoters… band politics….tour life…. show successes AND failures. Throughout the summer we will have daily video (hopefully) of what’s going on out there in our world. People will be able to follow us… and throughout all this, hopefully we can showcase the local communities across North America in a positive light.
Now let’s have some fun.
There will be many more announcements in the near future. More bands. More shows. And probably a classic rant or two from yours truly. See you on the road.
