Read The Full Article on my Substack: Bass Culture While most fans know The Specials, Madness, and The Selecter, the ska revival ran far deeper than the iconic headliners. This mix dives into the underground of the 2 Tone era—bands from Canada, the US, and the UK who embraced identical sharp suits, offbeat grooves, and social bite.

"I was never going to be a nice little white girl" she says. Instead, she became an underground star, had hit records with the 2-Tone band The Selector, became a style-icon, an actor, a TV Presenter - and author. Whilst Margaret Thatcher was reshaping Britain and promoting her very own particular vision of what it meant to be British, in the urban jungle of Coventry, a young woman whose image couldn't be more different than Maggie's, was presenting a radically different vision of what it meant to be British Belinda Magnus, born on 23 October 1953 was given away as the baby of a white unmarried mother and an unknown black father. She was adopted by a white family and re-named Pauline Vickers. Growing up in a completely white neighbourhood as the only person of colour, she experienced first-hand the often racist attitudes of the time. She came to the Bureau to talk about all that, how she overcame it, her life as a star of the 2-tone musical scene with her band Selecter, and how, along the way, she became Pauline Black For more on Pauline Image by Dean Chalkley #PaulineBlack #2ToneRevolution #BureauOfLostCulture #SkaPunkHistory #TheSelecter #WomenInMusic #PunkAndPolitics #CulturalResistance #BlackBritishVoices #MusicAsProtest
This week we're joined by author Daniel Rachel, whose book Too Much Too Young: The 2 Tone Records Story: Rude Boys, Racism, and the Soundtrack of a Generation, which transports us to the late 70s and the explosion of 2 Tone Records, the home of such recording artists as The Specials, The Selecter, Madness, The (English) Beat, The Bodysnatchers, and more. Our conversation goes beyond the music, though, and touches upon the socio-political environment in which 2 Tone existed, and the history and truths that the artists brought to light about social issues, racism, class, and gender struggles.

Les années 1980 sont devenues magiques pour beaucoup de gens qui donneraient cher aujourd'hui pour y revenir. Et en y repensant, je dois vous avouer me souvenir qu'on avait l'impression de vivre un grand moment. Tout nous semblait nouveau et moderne en 1980 : on jouait aux Space Invaders, on écoutait des radios libres pour la première fois et on utilisait un enregistreur VHS. Et si, question musique, en 1980, il y avait encore des Chantal Goya pour chanter Bécassine et Julio Iglesias Je n'ai pas changé, le reste, mis bout à bout, était sacrément moderne : The Buggles, Orchestral Manoeuvres, Funkytown, le Manureva d'Alain Chamfort, le Banana Split de Lio ou John and Mary de Robert Palmer, c'est quand même une musique futuriste avec tous ces synthés.Et puis il y a le ska. Je revois encore toute la piste de danse sautant d'un bloc sur One step beyond quinze fois sur la soirée d'un samedi. C'était quelque chose de radicalement nouveau qui correspondait tellement à la jeunesse du début des années 80. Si le genre n'a pas fait long feu, en Angleterre, il a été un véritable phénomène social avec des groupes comme Madness, bien sûr, mais surtout les Specials, Selecter, Bad Manners et The Beat. Complètement méconnu chez nous, The Beat enchaîne trois albums, tous disques d'or, avant de se séparer. Alors qu'est-ce qu'on fait ? se demandent Andy Cox et David Steele, respectivement bassiste et guitariste de The Beat, les auteurs de cette intro que tous les Britanniques connaissent … Moi je vous dis : une paire pareille de musiciens ne devrait pas se séparer, et justement, ils décident de continuer ensemble. Mais que jouer comme musique ? Ils sont plutôt punk, ont connu le succès avec le ska, deux musiques bien passées de mode en 1984, alors ils suivent un peu le mouvement du milieu de cette décennie, avec les Wham!, Madness ou Culture Club qui ont injecté de la soul américaine dans leur musique. Andy et David jouent chacun de plusieurs instruments, ils sont un band à eux seuls mais voilà, il leur faut un chanteur, un frontman. Alors ils passent une annonce dans un magazine musical. Pour vous dire à quel point la scène musicale était intense et lisait les magazines, ils reçoivent 500 cassettes de gars qui veulent être leur chanteur. Quand va-t-on écouter tout ça ?Ben on s'arrête au premier qui nous plaît.Et si le suivant est dix fois meilleur ?Ils vont mettre huit mois à trouver le temps de tout écouter et à choisir le bon. Il se nomme Roland Gift, et a aussi fait du ska, mais comme saxophoniste, dans un groupe de Hull sur la côte est du nord de l'Angleterre, bien connue de ceux qui prennent le ferry pour la Hollande. Ainsi naissent les Fine Young Cannibals, un groupe qui incarne tellement la seconde partie des années 80, une carrière fulgurante, seulement deux albums mais quels albums, synthèse de la pop d'une époque où on vivait pour la musique.

As a documentary about her life reaches cinemas, musician and activist Pauline Black, the lead singer in 2-tone hit band The Selecter, talks about her career. We hear from the curators of the Waters Rising exhibition at Perth Museum, which features representations of flooding in literature and art over many centuries. And as an unfinished play by award-winning writer Oliver Emanuel comes to Radio 4, and an unstaged play by writer, poet and musician Beldina Odenyo is produced in Glasgow, we discuss posthumously completing a loved one's creative work. Presenter: Kate Molleson Producer: Mark Crossan
Ska Week concludes with author Daniel Rachel and our discussion on his fantastic new book, Too Much Too Young: The 2 Tone Records Story. This essential document tells the story of one of the most revolutionary record labels created to release some of the most revolutionary music ever made. Created by Jerry Dammers in the late 70s, 2 Tone was meant to be a safe place for interracial bands like the Specials and the Selecter to release the hottest ska music happening at the time. Eventually, the label launched other legends like Madness and the English Beat as well, but only lasted a few years. This discussion gets deep on the issues of race and class and how they play a part in the story. The book is as incredible as the movement and music itself.

Musician Pauline Black is best known as the frontwoman of 2-tone band The Selecter, and wrote about her experiences in the band and life in her memoir Black by Design: A 2-Tone Memoir. On reading her book, filmmaker Jane Mingay was inspired to get in touch with Pauline and the result of their collaboration is the new documentary, Pauline Black: A 2-Tone Story, which is showing at the London Film Festival. Jen caught up with Pauline and Jane to chat about Pauline's experiences, the impact of the 2-Tone movement, and why it is so relevant to what's going on at the moment in modern British – and global - politics. Pauline Black: A 2-Tone Story is showing at the London Film Festival on October 12 and 19. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In 1979, 2 Tone Records (formed by Coventry, England art student and Specials keyboardist/songwriter Jerry Dammers) exploded into the consciousness of music lovers in Britain, the US, and beyond, as albums by the Specials, the Selecter, Madness, the Beat, and the Bodysnatchers burst onto the charts and a youth movement was born. 2 Tone was black and white: a multiracial force of British and Caribbean musicians singing about social issues, racism, class, and gender struggles. It spoke of injustices in society and fought against right-wing extremism. It was exuberant and eclectic: white youths learning to dance to the infectious rhythm of ska and reggae, crossed with punk attitude, to create an original hybrid. This week's Third Lad, Daniel Rachel, has penned the definitive story of the label that, for a brief, bright burning moment, shaped British, American, and world culture. Too Much Too Young: The 2 Tone Records Story is out now from White Rabbit (UK) and Akashic Books (US). Daniel Rachel is a Birmingham-born, best-selling author whose previous works include Isle of Noises: Conversations with Great British Songwriters; Walls Come Tumbling Down: The Music and Politics of Rock Against Racism, 2 Tone, and Red Wedge; Don't Look Back in Anger: The Rise and Fall of Cool Britannia; The Lost Album of the Beatles: What If the Beatles Hadn't Split Up?; One for the Road: The Life & Lyrics of Simon Fowler & Ocean Colour Scene; and Oasis: Knebworth: Two Nights That Will Live Forever. He is also co-author of Ranking Roger's autobiography, I Just Can't Stop It: My Life in the Beat. In 2021, Rachel was a guest curator of the "2 Tone Lives & Legacies" exhibition as part of Coventry Cultural City 2021, and he curated the anniversary edition of the Selecter's debut album, Too Much Pressure.

Daniel Rachel's new book Too Much Too Young, the 2 Tone Records Story: Rude Boys, Racism, and the Soundtrack of a Generation (Akashic, 2024) presents the definitive history of 2 Tone Records. In 1979, 2 Tone Records exploded into the consciousness of music lovers in Britain, the US, and beyond, as albums by the Specials, the Selecter, Madness, the English Beat, and the Bodysnatchers burst onto the charts and a youth movement was born. 2 Tone was Black and white: a multiracial force of British and Caribbean musicians singing about social issues, racism, class, and gender struggles. It spoke of injustices in society and fought against rightwing extremism. It was exuberant and eclectic: white youths learning to dance to the infectious rhythm of ska and reggae, crossed with a punk attitude, to create an original hybrid. The idea of 2 Tone was born in Coventry, England, and masterminded by a middle-class art student, Jerry Dammers, who envisioned an English Motown. Dammers signed a slew of successful artists, and a number of successive hits propelled 2 Tone onto Top of the Pops and into the hearts and minds of a generation. However, infighting among the bands and the pressures of running a label caused 2 Tone to bow to the inevitable weight of expectation and recrimination. Over the following years, Dammers built the label back up again, entering a new phase full of fresh signings and a beautiful end-piece finale in the activist hit song “(Free) Nelson Mandela.” Told in three parts, Too Much Too Young is the definitive story of a label that for a brief, bright burning moment shaped British, American, and world culture.

Daniel Rachel's new book Too Much Too Young, the 2 Tone Records Story: Rude Boys, Racism, and the Soundtrack of a Generation (Akashic, 2024) presents the definitive history of 2 Tone Records. In 1979, 2 Tone Records exploded into the consciousness of music lovers in Britain, the US, and beyond, as albums by the Specials, the Selecter, Madness, the English Beat, and the Bodysnatchers burst onto the charts and a youth movement was born. 2 Tone was Black and white: a multiracial force of British and Caribbean musicians singing about social issues, racism, class, and gender struggles. It spoke of injustices in society and fought against rightwing extremism. It was exuberant and eclectic: white youths learning to dance to the infectious rhythm of ska and reggae, crossed with a punk attitude, to create an original hybrid. The idea of 2 Tone was born in Coventry, England, and masterminded by a middle-class art student, Jerry Dammers, who envisioned an English Motown.

Elana Levin from Graphic Policy Radio returns to the show for a deep dive into the second wave of Ska music, a brief but influential era when black and white UK musicians fused Jamaican dance music of the sixties into punk and new wave music of the seventies to create a sound that would further revolutionize American popular music in the nineties. The modern ska genre gets made fun of a lot (mozzarella sticks, anyone?) but Elana will have you know that ska music is not a joke. In an 18-month period, 2 Tone Records, an indie label founded by the keyboardist from The Specials, Jerry Dammers, took over the UK pop charts with major distribution support from Chrysalis Records. In the wake of the election of Margaret Thatcher and the rise of white nationalists taking advantage of national economic malaise, a musical rebuke of these trends came from bands in the town of Coventry, offering alternative visions of racial harmony and anti-fascist songs you could dance to. The 1981 concert documentary Dance Craze, recently restored, captures the 2 Tone bands performing in their prime. We discuss the evolution of ska, pay tribute to some of the top groups of the Second Wave Ska era including The Selecter, Madness, Bad Manners and The Specials and bid farewell to their lead singer the late great Terry Hall, whose passing last year inspired this episode.

Episode 170: In Conversation With Will Crewdson (Scant Regard, Adam Ant, et al) Brian and Sarah recently had the honor and pleasure of meeting the great Will Crewdson in person at an Adam Ant concert. During that encounter, the three agreed to set up a time to meet and talk some more. This episode is the result! Will Crewdson is a talented, prolific, and extremely busy guitarist who has lent his formidable skills to a number of well-known acts, including Adam Ant, Flesh For Lulu, The Selecter, Gaye Bykers on Acid, and Sigue Sigue Sputnik, to name just a few. He was also a founding member of the indie band Rachel Stamp, and he currently works with ex-Rachel Stamp band member Shaheena Dax under the name She Made Me Do It (SHEMMDI for short), and as a solo artist under the name Scant Regard. Brian and Sarah had a fun and enlightening conversation with Will about a number of topics, such as his musical background, performing and touring with Adam Ant, his solo project Scant Regard, and a cool story about working with someone that Brian (perhaps surprisingly) was super-excited about! Additionally, Will shares an exclusive tour update—an upcoming solo date on the East Coast!

Con la llegada de la democracia en 1983, en Argentina surgieron centenares de grupos y artistas con ganas de hacerse escuchar (o ver). Fue una década rica, no solo por la música, otros medios de expresión como el teatro, la danza, diseño, también crearon otra forma de expresión. Con la gran crisis financiera del 89 y el cambio de década, toda esa efervescencia se diluyo. Aquí podréis escuchar un brevísimo resumen de lo que fueron aquellos años. Virus - Sin Disfraz: Grupo formado en la ciudad de La Plata por los hermanos Moura. Fueron los precursores de la “modernización” del Rock en Argentina, luego llegaron todos los demás. Grabaron 6 discos hasta la muerte del cantante Federico Moura. El grupo continuo adelante un par de años más, hasta la disolución. Actualmente realizan conciertos por Latinoamérica rememorando sus grandes éxitos. Miguel Mateos/Zas - Perdiendo El Control: Debutaron como teloneros de Queen en 1981. Y el éxito masivo llego en 1985 con “Rocas Vivas”, un álbum en vivo grabado durante sus presentaciones en el Luna Park. Fueron de los pioneros en actuar en todo el continente. Charly García - Buscando un símbolo de paz: Luego de liderar varios grupos, en 1982 comienza su carrera como solista. Durante la década publica sus mejores discos y es protagonista de varios escándalos. Junto a Luis Alberto Spinetta y Litto Nebbia conforman la santísima trinidad del Rock Argentino. Enanitos Verdes - La muralla verde: Originales de la provincia de Mendoza, publican su primer disco en 1984 con un sonido de Rock Clásico. En 1986 cambian de compañía discográfica, publican su segundo álbum “Contrareloj” (Producido por A. Calamaro), con un sonido más cercano al Pop logrando sonar en todas las radios latinoamericanas. Fabiana Cantilo - Detectives: Comenzó en 1980 en el grupo de Rock teatral, Las Bay Biscuits. En 1982 se une a Los Twist. Su primer disco solista llega en 1985, producido por Charly García, del cual varios singles llegan a sonar en las radios. Además, desde 1983, forma parte del grupo de Charly García como corista. Man Ray - Extraño Ser: Duo formado en 1987 por Hilda Lizarazu y Tito Losavio, en 1988 publican su álbum debut, producido por A. Calamaro. No logra gran repercusión, y solo consiguen actuar en algunos pubs y clubes. Con el cambio de década la suerte cambiara. G.I.T. - La Calle es Su Lugar: Trio de músicos (Guyot, Iturri, Toth) que forman parte del grupo de Charly García. En 1984 editan su disco debut, muy influenciado por la New Wave (The Police, XTC). Logrando un gran éxito que aumentaría con la publicación del segundo, un año más tarde. Pasan el resto de la década girando por toda Latinoamérica con gran éxito. Soda Stereo - Persiana Americana: Su primer disco sale en 1983 y el éxito masivo llegará con su segundo álbum en 1985. Luego conquistaran Latinoamérica convirtiéndose en el grupo más importante de Rock en español. Yorio - En todas partes te veo: Durante los 70s María Rosa Yorio fue parte de varios grupos y proyectos. Durante los primeros años de los 80s lanza varios discos como solista, de sonido Folk y Rock. Pero en 1986 sorprende con un disco de sonido más Pop y actual. Raúl Porchetto - Bailando en las veredas: Músico pionero del Rock nacional. Publica varios discos durante los 70s y principios de los 80s. En 1986 publica “Noche y Día” con un sonido más “ochentero”. Los Abuelos de la Nada - Costumbres Argentinas (Live) Segunda formación de los abuelos, la primera fue a finales de los 60s pero solo publican un par de singles. En 1982 Miguel Abuelo regresa con su grupo con una formación distinta y con influencias del Reggae y la New Wave. Luego de varios discos se convierten en uno de los grupos más populares del país, hasta el fallecimiento de Miguel Abuelo en 1988. Fito Páez - Bailando Hasta Que Se Vaya La Noche: Formó parte de la llamada “Trova Rosarina” a comienzos de los 80s. En 1983 se edita su álbum debut “Del 63”. Tras el asesinato de su abuela y su tía durante un robo su sonido se vuelve más crudo y roquero. Sumo - La Rubia Tarada: Luca Prodan deja Inglaterra para alejarse de la heroína y en Argentina forma un grupo influenciado por todo lo que Luca escuchaba en el Reino Unido (Joy Division, The Clash, The Cure, etc). Luego de 3 discos de gran éxito, Luca Prodan muere en 1988. Sobrecarga - Viajando Hacia El Este: Grupo de Dark Wave, Post Punk de la ciudad de Trenque Lauquen. Publicaron 2 discos, el primero logró gran repercusión en ciertas radios del país. El segundo, publicado en 1987, el sonido se volvió más oscuro y la discográfica dejo de promocionarlos. Al año se separan. Don Cornelio y La Zona - Ella Vendrá: Grupo de Dark Wave formado en 1984. En 1987 se edita su álbum debut, logrando gran éxito y difusión en las radios. Al año siguiente publican su segundo disco con un sonido más agresivo y roquero, convirtiéndose en un álbum de culto. Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos de Ricota - La Bestia Pop: Formación de La Plata que luego de años de actuar en distintas salas logran publicar por su cuenta su álbum debut en 1985, Poco a poco, tras la salida de un nuevo disco, su popularidad va creciendo hasta llegar a convertirse en uno de las grupos más importantes e influyentes de la historia de la música de Argentina, así como también uno de los más convocantes en términos de audiencia. Los Twist - Jugando Hulla Hulla: Durante los primeros años de los 80s surgió un movimiento denominado “Música Divertida”, en referencia al sonido fresco y desenfadado de grupos como Virus, por ejemplo. Los Twist se convirtieron en una de las bandas más icónicas del movimiento. En 1983 Charly García los convocó para producirles su primer álbum, llamado “La Dicha en Movimiento”, el cual se convirtió a los pocos meses en un gran éxito, llegando a vender más de 120.000 copias. Viuda e Hijas de Roque Enroll - Hawaian II: Grupo de cuatro chicas que con solo 3 discos se convirtieron en una de las bandas más exitosas de la década y más representativas de la denominada “Música Divertida”. Los Fabulosos Cadillacs - Yo Quiero Morirme Acá: Formados en 1984 tenían como influencias más fuertes a las bandas del revival del ska en Inglaterra, tales como Madness, The Specials, The Selecter o English Beat, y de ellos copiaban la imagen. Su debut llegó en el 86 con “Bares y Fondas” de sonido y estética puramente Ska. A partir del segundo álbum ampliaron los sonidos al Reggae y el Dub y a partir del tercero ya se comienzan a notar las influencias latinas. Este es un pequeño resumen de cada uno de los artistas que suenan en este podcast. Quien quiera más información os recomiendo que busquéis en Wikipedia :)

Daniel Rachel's book Too Much Too Young: The 2 Tone Records Story is a new history of the iconic record label. He's joined by Pauline Black, lead singer of The Selecter, to discuss the cultural impact of the Ska music it released. Actor Martin Shaw remembers the late, great theatre impresario Bill Kenwright, whose productions included Willy Russell's Blood Brothers and Andrew Lloyd-Webber's Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, who has died at the age of 78. The game of squash and a family overcoming grief are at the heart of Chetna Maroo's debut novel, Western Lane, which has been shortlisted for the 2023 Booker Prize. She talks to Samira about creating the story which centres on a spirited 11-year-old protagonist, Gopi. In Lyonesse, Kristin Scott Thomas plays Elaine, a star who gave up her career and retreated to a remote house on a Cornish cliff. 30 years later she decides she must return and tell her story. Kate, played by Lily James, is a young film executive, juggling work, a toddler and a peripatetic director husband. She comes to help Elaine – and is transformed. But who will control her story, who will get to tell it? Playwright Penelope Skinner tells Samira Ahmed about her new drama of female solidarity and male power. Presenter: Samira Ahmed Producer: Paula McGrath

And on a recent NPR segment, Sadie talked about the huge influence The Selecter's Pauline Black had on her. Pauline, through example, taught her that music could be a political toolThese days Sadie plays in the indie-rock band Speedy Ortiz, and she also releases music under the moniker Sad13. But she hasn't forgotten about her love for ska. In fact, she makes a plea to JER for a Sadie Dupuis / Skatune Network collaboration. (Hopefully, you're listening JER!) We also get into a lot more, like how Sadie's parents worked at record labels in the 70s. Her mom worked at the UK ska/reggae label Rock Steady Records. We talk about how The Specials' "Ghost Town" is a perfect song, we discuss the ska leanings of 100 gecs. And she talks about sending an AIM message to I Voted For Kodos. We also talk about booking MySpace tours, Sinéad O'Connor, and her love for Weezer. (Her favorite non-album track is "Blast Off!!"). We also talk about a ska band Sadie played in when she was a kid called "Walker Exists." They had no bass player! (She also mentions the ska band that Kevin Bacon's kid used to play in.) We talk about her songwriting process, fostering dogs, and get into the 2 Tone ska influences on the Brit-pop genre. But most importantly, she tells us her AOL and AIM screen names from back in the day. They both are ska-related. Be sure and check out Speedy Ortiz's new album Rabbit Rabbit, which releases on Sept 1! Support the show
This week we explore Ska-Jazz. Specifically, we talk to Fred Reiter (aka Rocksteady Freddie), the band leader of the New York Ska-Jazz Ensemble. And we aim to understand the difference between the jazz-influenced traditional ska sound and ska-jazz. Fred gives us a simple explanation and a more complex technical explanation. But Fred also talks about his entire personal history in music: He studied jazz in high school--clarinet, flute and saxophone. He played the sax in a variety of bands including the N.Y. Citizens, The Scofflaws and The Toasters. New York Ska-Jazz Ensemble started as a recording project, but he soon realized there was a demand for it on the live circuit. The band continues to play. To this day they have played in 37 different countries. Fred also tells us what it was like to be a part of the legendary Skavoovie tour in 1993 (The Special Beat, The Selecter, The Skatalites, The Toasters), what it was like to share the stage with Coolie Ranx, how the German band The Busters helped get the New York Ska-Jazz Ensemble to Europe, and what it was like to back ska legend Laurel Aitken in the 90s. Plus we discuss various elements of jazz, and why the elitism of the genre he experienced in New York may have influenced him to play in ska bands. Support the show

Fred Armisen loves ska. He's brought it up on multiple Tonight Show appearances. Portlandia famously did the Bart Ska-mpson skit (with guest Matt Groening), and he performed a ska song in one Saturday Night Live sketch (with Bill Hader and Katy Perry). So, we brought Fred on the podcast and discussed all things ska. He had a lot to say on the topic. We talked about his love for 2 Tone ska bands (The Specials, The Selecter, Madness, English Beat, Bad Manners, The Bodysnatchers). But we also talked about the US ska bands he got to know in the 80s and 90s while he played drums in Chicago punk band Trenchmouth. We talked about Fishbone, Skankin' Pickle, Gangster Fun, Slapstick, Let's Go Bowling and more. We also talk about ska in Latin America, which he learned about during his multiple trips to Santiago, Chile, while filming Los Espookys. We talk about the larger movement of punk/New Wave bands that dabbled with ska XTC, The Clash, The Members, Joe Jackson) or stemmed from ska bands (Fun Boy Three, Fine Young Cannibals, General Public) and we talk lovingly about Chicago's famous indie venue, Fireside Bowl. I also tell Fred about a rumor I heard that Cap'n' Jazz were the first band to play Fireside and he votes on whether it was true or not! We also talk about how dumb band fights can get, the influencing role that Alan Myers (Devo), David Barbarossa (Bow Wow Wow), Topper Headon (The Clash) and Clem Burke (Blondie) had on his drumming style, and he takes a moment to mourn the loss of Specials lead singer Terry Hall, which hit him hard.Plus, we decide the perfect number of bands to have on a bill.

Alongside Chris this time is musical pioneer and stye icon, Pauline Black of the 2-Tone legends The Selecter. The Coventry ska band not only influenced many UK post-punk bands, but would also later help shape Trip-hop and the American punk scene in the 1990s. There's much to enjoy in this warm and open conversation, including why a chance meeting at a folk club set Pauline on her musical path, how Jimi Hendrix and Angela Davis helped her find her style and why a Bob Marley gig proved to be so critical to future of The Selecter.

Only a handful of bands made up the 2 Tone era of ska in late 70s England. Today, we bring on Rhoda Dakar, the singer of The Bodysnatchers, an all-female ska band that released 2 singles on the 2 Tone record label before breaking up. The band also recorded a few Peel Sessions and were featured on Dance Craze. Though short-lived, The Bodysnatchers were an important band and are still loved by many to this day. Rhoda also sang on the Specials' song "I Can't Stand It" (A really cool duet with Terry Hall), and was part of Jerry Dammers' Special AKA project. Their In The Studio record took 2 years to record. Rhoda tells us about "I Can't Stand It" and what it was like to work on In The Studio. (It was no fun!) We also talk about Rhoda's pre-Bodysnatchers years of being a punk kid and seeing Iggy Pop and Lou Reed, becoming friends with The Sex Pistols' Paul Cook and Steve Jones, and how she tried (and failed) to sneak into a Roxy Music concert in 1973. She tells us what it was like to work with The Interrupters on their most recent record, how she finally got to perform at the Brixton Academy Theater and the role that The Pogues' Shane MacGowan had in her joining The Bodysnatchers. She talks about writing "Ruder than You" with scenester Gaz Mayall (son of British blues legend John Mayall), playing on the Seaside Tour with The Specials and the Go Go's, and we talk about the legacy of her song The Boiler.

It's the 1981 documentary that captured the energy and excitement of the ska scene during the height of the 2 Tone movement in Britain. Featuring electrifying live performances by bands like The Specials, Madness, and The Selecter, it remains a cult classic, one that played a key role in kickstarting the third wave in the US. Recently remastered, remixed and rereleased by the British Film Institute, we are finally given the chance to see it restored to it's original glory… it's DANCE CRAZE and the latest episode of the Hornpod Film Club! Our special guest is Marc Wasserman, he's the author of Ska Boom: An American Ska & Reggae Oral History; host of Ska Boom podcast and bassist for Rude Boy George & Bigger Thomas
Dance Craze recently got re-issued in the UK. So we figured it was time to give it another watch. Adam had never seen Dance Craze. I've not only seen it several times, but I interviewed several people involved with its creation.We got together and watched the film and said all of our thoughts! Hear what we had to say.If you want to watch the film along with us, here's the link. Start it when we say! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HT77dnsFkikSupport the show
There was one particular genre that sprang from the post punk era that was all at once joyous, political, infectious, melodic, alternative and danceable. It was a revival of the '60s Ska Movement that became known in the UK as Two Tone. And in this multi cultural cafe, full of delectable delights and international flavours, we had the opportunity to taste a little Madness, try a little Selecter, indulge in the sweetness of The Beat and maybe order some Bodysnatchers to go. But before ordering anything on the Ska menu, it's always good to see The Specials.
