SkaBoom!

In November 1986, one of Vancouver’s legendary Ska bands was born. SkaBoom! exploded onto the Vancouver Music scene with sold out shows since their first gig on February 8th 1987 at the Town Pump. SkaBoom was one of Vancouver’s most popular bands and became a regular headline act at many of Vancouver’s Live Music Venues such as the Town Pump, Commodore Ballroom, the Roxy & 86 St. The members of the band are: Dave Neal on Vocals & Guitar, Ross Cambrin on Vocals & Keyboard, Chris Grant on Vocals & Bass, Leigh Grant on Drums, Graham Howell on Tenor Saxophone, Bruce Nicholson on Trombone and Kevin Lee on Trumpet. With SkaBoom’s popularity in the 80’s, they recorded and released a self titled record under the Checker Bomb Recording Label. The record received airplay on radio stations across Canada & into some parts of the US. Along with the record release, SkaBoom filmed a music video of their hit tune “Love & Affection” which was aired on Canada's Much Music. The band stayed together for 6 years and disbanded as members went in separate directions. After a decade passed, SkaBoom reunited with all original members except for our drummer. Replacing our former drummer is Leigh Grant. SkaBoom has been back performing and is working on revamping old favourite tunes as well as writing new material.
