This sounds awesome. Will you include second- and third-wave ska in the film? I'd like to see some Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Reel Big Fish alongside the original Legends of Ska! :-D
The trailer is great - it puts a smile on your lips - this is SKA!
Need any production help ? I edit :)
I am so glad that you are doing this Brad! I can't wait to see it!
this is such a great project and i know you have been working on it for years, your efforts to really get it done right and to properly recognize these legendary artists are greatly appreciated. Can't wait to see it shakin' up Orange Street all over again.
You go, Brad! We love you.
