Livestock Music and Music from The Black Barn is really pleased to bring you Skatonics.
Get down to The Black Barn for an amazing night of 2 Tone, Rock Steady and Ska with the Skatonics.
THE SKATONICS
came crashing onto the scene in 2007, and since then have performed to the ever growing enthusiastic Ska followers at venues and festivals across the UK and Europe. The last 11 years have seen the band play some prestigious and iconic venues in the UK and across Europe, county showgrounds, racecourses, Santa Pod raceway, The Hope & Anchor (where Madness and The Specials started out), The Dublin Castle and even a pre-kick off gig at West Ham F.C. In June 2017 they headlined the ‘Electro Love’ stage at the Isle of Wight Festival to a crowd of several thousand which impressed the band as their timings clashed with Rod Stewart and George Ezra. They have backed Suggs at a charity event in Whitstable and have supported MADNESS in August 2017 at the Kent County Showground 2017. They have also supported The Selecter, Bad Manners, Geno Washington, Neville Staple (The Specials), Bruce Foxtons ‘From the Jam’
and most recently in June 2018 The English Beat, at the Norwich Waterfront
They have also been regulars at large VW events, Dub Aid, numerous scooter rallies, BMF meetings and Folkestone’s annual ‘Skabour’ Festival since it's started in 2010 when the guys were the very first band on supporting The Beat. The Skatonics pride themselves on an authentic look and sound. Sharply dressed in tonic suits, pork pie's and loafers to match the tight, energetic sets they perform to loyal followers. At any event, you can expect to hear most of the hits from the bands of the 2 Tone era (Madness, Specials, Bad Manners, Selecter etc ) as well as some older Trojan ska classics and a few 'others' the band have given their little ska twist to.
This 9-piece band is rapidly becoming one of the 'must see' SKA bands in the UK
