Concerts & Live Music

Known as one of ska’s most prominent and influential bands, the Dave Wakeling-led English Beat are back stateside for a new run of live shows. The English Beat is a 2 Tone ska revival band founded in England in 1978. Their songs combined ska, pop, soul, reggae and punk rock, and their lyrics deal with themes of love, unity and sociopolitical topics.

The English Beat released three albums: I Just Can’t Stop It (1980), Wha’ppen? (1981) and Special Beat Service (1982), and a string of singles, including “Mirror in the Bathroom”, ” Too Nice To Talk To”, “Can’t Get Used To Losing You”, “Hands off She’s Mine” and “All Out To Get You”.
