The Skamonics are a London based jazz meets ska collective, playing a unique mix of authentic 60s ska, jazz, two-tone and completely unexpected covers.
Imagine Herbie Hancock jamming with The Specials, or if Kraftwerk were from Kingston, Jamaica...
A driving rhythm section provides a firm foundation for four blazing horns and a top female vocalist, blasting out a wide repertoire of ska favourites and tunes given a ska treatment for the very first time.
Made up of musicians with roots in jazz and ska, the Skamonics sound has wide appeal. From cool West End clubs to East London pubs, festival stages to weddings and country house parties the Skamonics have filled dance floors and won repeat bookings. We play with various line-ups of 6-9 players, with and without vocals.
The Skamonics are available for gigs, festivals, weddings and functions.
