The Operators

The Mad Bomber Society monopoly on traditional ska is about to break. Eric Budd from MBS (formerly the Clones) is teaming up with some old Clones, Jonathan Parent, Mike Garth, as well as Brad Nattrass, who finally joined a band. Look forward to them playing shows in January.

See this image? I think they should use that on their Operators buttons.


Their first show at Power Plant

To get this picture, I had to climb onto a railing at the edge of the stage. A bouncer came to drag me down. I was walking away, past the skinhead table, when one of the skins gave me a chair to stand on. I dragged it back and stood exactly where I was before, able to get this last shot before the bouncer told me to get down again.


I saw them in practice, and brought along my camera.
