About Me

Django formed at the back end of 2006. All of the band have "done time" with some of the best known unsigned ska bands on the scene. These include 2 Tonic, Urban Rhythm, Orange Street, The Loonee Toons plus a few others over the years. Steve, Chris, Vijay and Rich were also part of Bad Manners for a while, and Rich and Liam often play with the Neville Staples band.

We are actually heading into the studio during November and will be recording our own material (some of which is already in the set). Keep an eye on the profile, as soon as we have the songs, they will be uploaded.

And just in case you were wondering, Django is pronounced "jan-go".

Some of us have myspace pages as well.
