The English Beat

Dave Wakeling is set to release the first new English Beat album since 1982. Here We Go Love is out June 15 and finds him revisiting the ska sound of the band’s early days as well as the more pop-oriented direction of Special Beat Service…

Plus: Yo La Tengo, Bonny Doon, ‘Dark Side of the Mule’ and more recently announced tours.

The Beat are on U.S, shores and touring from one end to the other and back again.

John Doe, Jeff Rosenstock, Lyle Lovett, Pete Holmes, Sad13, The Selecter, and more Wednesday show options.

Born Lionel Augustus Martin, Saxa was 50 years old and already an established Jamaican session musician when he was recruited by The Beat. His melodic style was a crucial part of their sound, maybe the the most distinctive part…

The 2017 Tribeca Film Festival runs April 19-30.

Also: Robyn Hitchcock, The English Beat, Paul Collins, and Dave Hause.

Two ’80s UK pop greats brought the hits to Port Chester.
