DESCRIPTION:
Rude Boys Outta Jail
Made up of an absolute all-star group of musicians, RBOJ are more than your average ska band. Imagine seeing all the legends of the Two Tone ska movement of the late 1970s / early 1980s - Madness, The Specials, Bad Manners, The Selecter, English Beat, and The Bodysnatchers - all on the same stage at once! These southern California-based musicians are not only fans of the music, but have actually supported, played with, and shared the stage with a lot of the inventors and legendary names in the ska and reggae genres. Rico Rodriguez (The Specials), Lynval Golding (The Specials), Lee Kix Thompson (Madness), Eek A Mouse, Prince Buster, Derrick Morgan, Hepcat, The Aggrolites, See Spot, Jerry Miller (The Untouchables), Mobtown, and Kingston A Go-Go are just a few of the names that these great musicians have performed with.

RBOJ offer a spot-on representation of the music you love and grew up listening to. The sharply-dressed ensemble support five singers who perform, sing, and portray - in identical fashion - the artists they are representing.

"I felt like I was watching the Dance Craze movie, except in person! This is a must-see performance!!" - Rudie Boyd

RBOJ stress authenticity and work hard to represent the bands and the artists they are playing.

"When we are playing The Specials, we want to become The Specials. When we play Madness, we want to become Madness. And the same for Bad Manners, The Selecter, The English Beat, and The Body Snatchers." says keyboardist/band leader Brad Pate.

RBOJ are indeed 'One Step Beyond' the rest in performance, style, and professionalism. This showcase will have you movin' and shakin', dancin' and skankin' all night long! They are sure to bring the party and be a real crowd pleaser!
