Faintest Idea & Dakka Skanks

Faintest Idea & Dakka SkanksCo-Headline TourDeadbeat At DawnThursday 24th September, Doors 7.30pm *This is a standing show* Two of the UK's most exciting ska-driven live bands join forces for a special co-headline date at The Crescent. Faintest Idea and Dakka Skanks will decide the headliner on the night, making this a rare chance to see two rising powerhouses share the same stage with equal fire. Faintest Idea bring their explosive fusion of 2 Tone bounce and fast, furious UK punk. Hailing from East Anglia and signed to TNSrecords (UK) and Jump Start Records (USA), they've taken their politically charged, brass-heavy sound across Europe, Russia, Japan, Canada and the USA. Expect big hooks, bigger choruses, and the kind of rabble-rousing energy that turns a room into a movement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XravE5WQ0ps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWK_qLDIW3Y Brighton's Dakka Skanks push ska into the 21st century with a fresh, modern edge - blending Jamaican rhythms, indie-rock guitar lines and the commanding, emotionally charged vocals of Clara Byrne. With European tours, festival main stages, and shows alongside Madness, The Selecter, The Slackers and The Skatalites under their belt, the band continue to evolve with sharp songwriting and a powerful live presence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Jk3YjmJiKk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kt6KWULQSnM A night of brass, rhythm, politics, passion and high-energy performance from two bands shaping the future of UK ska.
