Syracuse Ska Forum

Just wanted to say that. Before this year's seniors graduate, and other people forget who we are....

Hey Jeff, always good to hear from you. Make sure to say hi for me to Jeff Contray as well.

It's funny you bring this up, because I was just talking about your band today. There is a modish girl from Watertown that saw Razbari Sumthing there and who was upset she didn't catch TSC at our last Skalloween. I guess she used to be in a swing band and she misses the music a lot. Other kids have brought it up as well. I got the impression maybe you wanted to stick to just playing Skalloween here. This is good news!

I'll give you a call on this in a few days. The ideal situation would be to pair you with someone like Too Short Notice or BTMI and make a bigger show out of it. We now have an all ages venue that can hold a lot more kids and I'm itching for a cool show for it. This might be just the ticket.

BTMI has weaseled there way onto my list of good bands list.

I would be at this show if that happened.

I would really like to see TSN again and TSC.
And breifly, who is BTMI?

I heard TSN is on hiatus.

But yes, TSC and anyone would be great.

My brother said that too. I wouldn't doubt it. And they could still come out of hiatus before a show date is even scheduled.

And The Cat Empire.

Btmi is bomb the music industry

Yay for Bomb The Music Industry and Tri-State. I love swing almost as much as i love a good piece of pie. (almost) And wuts up with so many abreviations on this forum, even if i know a band, i get lost in all the letters and think its a totally different band.

Yeah, I always wonder when we start using initials how many people we lose in the process. When I can remember, I try to at least not use the initials the first reference. But once we're talking about Tri-State Conspiracy, I'd like to think people can catch on who TSC is.

tsc is sooooo awesome

Well...for a while I've been pushing everyone in TSC to play longer distance shows so that we're more than just a tri-state area band. Recently we played in North Carolina which is our biggest road trip so far. Anyways, I think it's working because our sax player calls me up out of the blue the other day, keep in mind that he's the biggest pain in the ass about doing road trips, and says, "You should get us on another Syracuse gig before people forget about us". Everyone had such a blast the last couple of Skalloween gigs that we all want to do more shows. Ideally I'm looking to do an Albany show on a Friday and then a Syracuse show on a Saturday. I've got some contacts in the Albany area....

So yeah, that show you mentioned sounds cool. Let me know the details when they come into fruition.

...and I'll tell Contray you said hi. I'm going to his bachelor party in Miami next month.

I would love to have BTMI! here.

Come to Rochester.

I'd be happy to book you guys.
