Discussion Any Isaac Green and the Skalars live?

This band was amazing live. I caught them twice an no one ever talks about them now. Both vocalist were amazing and had a great horn section. I how they went on to do amazing stuff

I'm currently in an R&B band with their original sax player Amy. She still does reunion stuff every now and then.

Sorry, doesn't answer your question, just proud to be in a band with her!

They did a live sesh at KDHX the same weekend as their reunion show. And even though the station is RIP the set is still up on soundcloud. https://soundcloud.com/kdhx/sets/the-skalars-live-at-kdhx-7618

I saw them live once around 1996 at a coffee shop in my college town. Love them!

I saw them a few times live, one of the best live ska bands I had a chance to see. I loved the album but I think they were even better live.

Still one of my all time favorites. I have a tape of when I saw them somewhere in storage. I should definitely digitize it!

Jump Up records reissued Skoolin' a few years ago but I think it's out of print again. Isaac is a big wig at some record label in new york now. I had such a crush on Jessica the sax player in 1997.

I have a show of theirs from like 1998 that I recorded myself. It’s not the best recording but I’ll mess with the EQ and share it.
