The Skandals

The Skandals is a 7-piece Ska Authentic band from Copenhagen.

The band has gained success very early in their career, and may be one of the youngest bands in Europe with that great routine. The Skandals write and play all their music themselves, and they have been playing lots of concerts, hitting big venues all over Denmark and with occasional shows in Sweden. They have been sharing stage with ska and reggae bands from all over the world, but to name a few: The Slackers, USCB All-stars, Natasja (R.I.P), Alton Ellis (R.I.P), Skalar, Magtens Korridorer and Danish reggae stars BliGlad.

The style is the authentic ska, as it was played in Kingston in the 60’s, influenced by artists such as Skatalites and Toots & the Maytals - mixed with sweet rocksteady and tuff roots.



In March 2009, The Skandals released their first record The Night Is Still Young with a blast. The release-party was more than sold out, and the venue was packed. The record has since recieved good reviews from among others leading danish music-zine Gaffa (http://www.gaffa.dk/anmeldelse/32810)



In october 2009, The Skandals did their first tour of germany - and they have plans to come again as often as possible.



The Skandals will have their first vinyl 7'' out sometime spring 2010! See you out on the dancefloor!
