THE SKA VENGERS
SKA | PUNK | JAZZ | DANCE
India’s first ska band, The Ska Vengers were formed in 2009 and have since been touted as one of the most fun Indian indie acts to watch. Their sound is an organic melange of Ska, Rocksteady, Reggae, Dub, Jazz and Punk with some Cuban and other Latin influences thrown in. Known for introducing socially relevant themes in their songs, they performed for 2,000 inmates inside South Asia’s largest jail, Tihar in 2012. Their most recent album - XX - has received critical acclaim, and one of the music videos of the song 'Frank Brazil' got them nominated for MTV Europe Music Awards.
