After a 3 year hiatus, the Stomp All-Stars are back January 18th, 25th
and February 2nd at the Petit Campus in Montreal!
This year's version features members of the Planet Smashers, One Night
Band, x-Kingpins, Subb and includes guest appearances by Vernon Buckley
of the legendary Maytones, Chris Murray aka Venice Shoreline Chris of
King Apparatus and many more.
The All-Stars first came together in the winter 1999 with a series of
January shows at the Swimming. With a constantly rotating line-up, the
Stomp All-Stars continued the series for the following 3 consecutive
winters, and developed into a Montreal underground winter tradition.
Matt Collyer, the original brain child of the All-Stars said "we
decided to pack it in for a bit cause bands like the Kingpins, Gangster
Politics,and Undercovers broke up in 2003, so the All-Stars would've
been 5 guys from the Smashers and a few guests, which is kinda lame".
But due to the onslaught of new killer ska bands like One Night Band
and the reappearance of Subb, Stomp Records decided to bring the
All-Stars back. This year's band leaders Dave Smasher and Alex One
Nighter claim that the new version is the best ever! The band
guarantees to deliver three intense nights of old-school ska and
reggae, so put on your dancing shoes and get ready for the ska!
