Welcome to the Wonderful World of Ska Toons where anything can happen and probably already has.
Ska Toons is a rocking collision of ska, funk and jazz, where Prince Buster meets Duke Ellington, The Skatalites meet Charles Mingus and The Ventures meet Don Drummond.
A solid blowing horn section of tenor, soprano sax and trombone, very groovesome rhythm section of guitar, keyboards, bass and drums together with the vocal talents culled from the Munday family band create an irresistible mix of great classic ska, skanked-up jazz instrumentals and rocking off-beat reworkings of class pop songs.
Compulsive dance music, great songs, brilliant playing, high energy and loads of fun.
Ska Toons. 'nuff said.

A message from our fan:
Yo Bro, iss dat SkaToon band gigging again n' wanning u 2 cum n dance, trance n not go to France. Lissen 2 the best evs cold cuts, raw meats, mint sauce an loads ov uvver treats. Ver band will be doing their best fonky hi-contrast brassy freestyle downbeat uptown lo-down ass-kickin 'lectro techno- munday, mixed-up old-skool heavy-dub white-hot rare-groove licks, strokes, pick n mix, hits n highs. Sweat the dancefloor, kick up a storm, pass the salt, dig deep, dance your booty off until u hurt yourself. Lissen to the very nice new-jazz, southeasterly dj, dirty lewesian kool-aid acid-testing master of rubbed-up oh-so-clever-clever bathtub n bass, pitch fork and triangle, dancette and B&O mini-dek chill out fish fingers. All the old faves, wonders from the grave, beyond our ken, go back there again and don't come back until you've done all the washing up. Yup, its a boogie wunderland extravaganza camped up to the max factor of much-missed, drop-stitch, deep house, futurismo kick-start, lip-lop, bossa jungglism, underground hymn-stylie. This hotspot will rock like white hot trash rnb bootleg electronica crossed with the worst of songs of praise until the wee small hours. Take no prisoners. Anthems r us. Scary. U know u want to. Unique dancefloor democracy shennanigans: get your dose. Culty.
