Hell of a Hat

Featuring Aaron Carnes (‘In Defense of Ska’), Marc Wasserman (‘Ska Boom’), and Kenneth Partridge (‘Hell of a Hat’), and moderated by BV editor Andrew Sacher, this livestream panel explores the rich, diverse history and future of ska.

‘Hell of a Hat: The Rise of ’90s Ska and Swing’ looks at the mainstream booms of two horn-fueled genres. Ahead of its release, we’re debuting a chapter that looks at the careers of Less Than Jake, The Suicide Machines, Blue Meanies, and Mustard Plug.
