About Me

From Sacramento California, comes an 8 piece ska band (mascot included) called Flip The Switch. Formed in the summer of 2002 with a dream of bringing back the greatest music ever, SKA.

NEWS
9/20/07: We finally get to play with REEL BIG FISH! HEY YO!!! November 8th at Sac State College. Get your tickets at the College, or get them at Tickets.com. Right now we are totally broke! Yes, we barely have any merch left, and we dont have the funds to re-make or to make new stuff. If your interested in buying something, please email us and we will send you our current inventory. That way you can see if we have in stock what you want! In other news, we finally got the 2 albums up on SnoCap! I dont think we will be posting our Best Of Stuff Volume or Live at Ska Is Dead 3 albums. Sorry. If you want those, just order them the old way or just buy them at a show. Last but not least in FTS news, we are recording some songs for the new album this coming Sunday. We are going to record 3 or 4 songs just for use in sending them to record labels. Sorry fans. You will be able to get our songs once the FULL CD IS DONE! Even if that takes us a few more months. Hopefully not though! Recording is expensive, and so is pressing CDs. Hope to see you all at the RBF show! Show them how much you love us! That would be greatly appreciated. Wear an FTS shirt to the show... that would make us very happy too! Much love fans! - Rob
