This is a Selecter song. Pauline Black had a fantastic voice and rude girl style...my backing band on this tune is my favorite young ska/punk band the INTERRUPTERS.

Lip Up Fatty-This is the third 2 Tone era song that we've done so far. I first saw Bad Manners while I was in high school-when they played the Berkeley Keystone in 1983. A lot of the punk rock kids went to that show, and it was so cool to see punks, mods, and skaters all under one roof getting along and loving ska music.

I've always loved Social Distortion, and Mike Ness is a great songwriter. Rancid and Social D. have a history... Mike played guitar onstage with Rancid at Roseland in New York in 1996, and Matt Freeman played bass with Social D. on tour. We used to love seeing Johnny Two Bags play in Cadillac Tramps, and during his stint in U.S. Bombs. You can see how intertwined we are.

DJs in the 60s, from the UK would bypass playing the smoother R&B from Tamla/Motown, and would instead choose to play artists on labels like Okeh, Champion and Cameo-- rarer records on labels that would churn dance floors with their harder sound. We love to play songs that have a big strong back beat that moves quick. Northern Soul!

Thirty Pieces Of Silver
iTunes//Amazon//Spotify
Shakin' up Orange Street- the street with a beat, in 1964 was Jamaican ska singer, and heavyweight producer Prince Buster, a musical pioneer. I love the story that Prince Buster was security for Coxsone Dodd's 'Downbeat" sound system. He was hired because he was a boxer. If anybody wanted to smash Coxsone's sound system, you'd have to get through Prince Buster first. He was super influential with the 2 Tone movement -- Madness "One Step Beyond", and "Madness", are Prince Buster Songs, plus The Specials- "Enjoy Yourself", "Judge Dread"and "Al Capone", to name a few--and we're doing "Thirty Pieces Of Silver".
