Living On The Ska Official Video Premier

The new Skambomambo Video for Living on the Ska another track off the Made to Specification LP has been released today 19.11.2013. The video features a Go-karting contest held in Szczecin 2013. Some cool thrilling shots produced in collaboration with Anidroc Productions.

Below are Don Mario's lyrics for "Living on the Ska."

Rudy's got one desire, needs to get no higher, music is his firewire,
And you're living in the line of fire.
Rudy needs no bungee dive, he need no overdrive, music makes him come alive.
And now he's living in the line of fire.

Rudy, needs to pay the rent, but all the money went,
On two tone ska, it's money well spent.

Skambomambo on the microphone, on the sex & phone and two tone ska,
Skambomambo when you're home alone on the telephone and no mama.

Living on the ska.

Skambomambo's Skalleluia for the Tall Ships Races in Szczecin 2013

Skambomambo has released a new video for 'Skalleluia' a track off their latest album 'Made to Specification.' It features scenes from events during the Tall Ships Races 2013 which ended in Szczecin, Skambomambo's hometown. The idea was to give people a picture of what Szczecin is about. The parade was joined by the crews of the competing vessels from all over the world. These included crews from Poland, the host country, Ukraine, Russia, Bulgarian and other Eastern European countries, The UK, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Finland, France, Spain....... Brazil, Mexico....... and many others from Africa and Arabia. Skambomambo performed during this event. The main performances included Top Polish stars and Nelly Furtado. Szczecin was in the limelight and on all Polish TV stations for the 5 day bonanza of Tall Ships and their crews, concerts, events and party. Another film collaboration between The Skambomambo Mob and Anidroc Productions.

SKAMBOMAMBO Summer Siesta

Skambomambo has been sleeping through the summer and somewhat left this blog alone. So just for the record. Many gigs but the most important events for the band was gigging for the Woswin Rockfest and especially during the Tall Ships' Races Final in Szczecin on 02.08.2013. A record 400,000 plus people invaded the city to watch the vessels and accidentally Szczecin's Ambassadors of Culture SKAMBOMAMBO.

  

SKAMBOMAMBO Summer skank tour Day 3

Day 3

Date: 28.07.2012

Who would dare wake up the SKAMBOMAMBO after such a long two days?? Sleep, sleep, sleep. Wake up call 15:00. Shower, very late brunch and off to Motherlive in Hoxton London.

Date: 28.07.2012 (Time 21:00)

 Skambomambo was the second band on the night. The line-up included Organ Donner, Arbitrators, Best Behavious and Whisky Chasers  

 However the band was much liked by the fans and was asked to reappear again at the end. So Skambomambo  ended up giving two performances on the night.

Date: 28.07.2012 (Time 23:00)

 Here Skambomambo would formally like to thank Lorraine Ska Mama Foster and the Skarettes for being there and saving our merc. We love you so much for everything.

After that it was one big party for Skambomambo and some time to chill out in London.

SKAMBOMAMBO MAY 2012

SKAMBOMAMBO return home to Poland where they open up the Inkubator open weekend - taras fest which will go on throughout the summer. The new Words by SKAMBOMAMBO video is filmed during the performance: Glad to be back home and with our families and friends.

 

May is Juwenalia Time in Poland - a series of events organised by students for students : Here are some pics of Skambomambo performing for Juwenalia in Elblag.

Obviously the Spring season is a great time for open air festivals - May festivals include Majowka.The band gigged extensively throughout the month. Some pics from Majowka in Szczecin at Jasne Blonia 

Skambomambo in Kidderminster

 

 

 Home to some of the greatest names in Rock history - mainly Robert Plant and other musicians he played with - Kidderminster has become SKAMBOMAMBO's home in the Midlands. The band relaxed, boozed and partied in this green, green quaint little town, making it a perfect escape from the larger Midland cities and venues. SKAMBOMAMBO found Kidderminster to be a great place to be, made a lot of local friends, got acquianted with several pubs round town - especially  The Swan where the band gave their farewell performance to the Midlands this time around.

An inspiring place - here the Band is on the Devil's Seat together with our host, brother, saviour Dysfunctional!!! Led Zeppelin territory, laid back and lots of love shared. Love to Meg, The Flower Lover, Pops, Ed, Colin ... to the Croatian and Slovenian girls who gatecrashed into our party and stayed on with us for the following week, Big Dave, all of you at Swan, Katie for her pics and living close to Meg's..... and a lot of faces and names we will remember forever.  

A big round of applause for the 3 bands that played with us everywhere: Mr Shankly - Lobster and Stiff Joints -Apples. The last gigs in the UK were in Moseley at The Bull's Head - together with Skafinger and Lobster and then in Bristol with The Richardson Maneuver.
