Controversy Brews at Three Floors of Ska
In this article posted at SkaSummit.com, one attendee of the recent Three Floors of Ska show in Hollywood, CA, expresses frustration with anti-third-wave sentiments. Apparently The Hub City Stompers have a song called “Ska Train to Dorkville” and its aim is to criticize modern ska.
According to the poster, the HCS song both lampoons and criticizes the third-wave ska movement. Now, I was at the show, but unfortunately did not see their entire performance, and missed this song. The HCS style of ska tends to straddle the line between more traditional ska and two-tone, and judging by their lyrical content and the faster tempos of some of their songs, I have to think that “Ska Train to Dorkville” contains an element of “tongue-in-cheek.”

the last 3-floors of “Skam” in NYC @ KF. Will be a Good Riddance to shady underhanded Disloyal Skam artists who set Back the NY Ska Scene as a whole. Such As the likes of King Django, Shay, Bucket Rob Hingley and there Jock Crony’s.
in the end was all about Money Grubbing instead of supporting the movement that they Helped ruined such as Moon Ska Which morphed into Megalith Scam Artist Records Now run by another shady ska infiltrator rip-off scam artist name “Jeremy Patton” who should be put in jail for Embezzlement.
