The Toasters have been around since 1981 with their 28th YEAR ANNIVERSARY TOUR IN 2008. Formed on the Lower East Side of Manhattan they traded punches with the best of them at the legendary CBGB’s Club (RIP) on the Bowery. With early releases produced by the great Joe Jackson they zoomed into prominence as America’s early ska pioneers and have been blazing the way for the rest of them ever since. Alongside bands like Fishbone they helped engineer the American ska craze in the 80’s and 90’s. Since that time they have continued to provide an international benchmark for the genre whilst never losing sight of where they came from.

Killbot Factory of Arcata are a new ska band of robots, armed and extremely dangerous, so take care when approaching. The only things that killbots enjoy are killing and kittens. Beware the killbot’s horn section and pogo-dancing skills.

Vigilante Death Squad started playing music a year and eight months ago fucking around with different kinds of music including ska,blue,some metal,grindcore,rocknroll, but lately play hardcore and are getting the humbolt county hardcore sence connected to bands outside the area and trying to get a more active scene in eureka with the limited venues around. They play mostly all ages shows for the kidz, talk to them about music and encourage them to start bands so the scene can grow. VDS are down to play benieft shows for any community awareness organization such as copwatch, P.A.R.C. , Raven Project, and any organized workshops. Short list of things we hate: Cops, snitches, fascism, racism, homophobia, ketchup, rockstars (of any genre), capitalism, religion, violent dickheads, rednecks, nazis, modern country and that stupid bay area thizz music fuckin’ drone heads.
