About Me

Like all of you I have a love for SKA music and all its forms and premutations. I have listened too and promoted SKA for over 20 years. I have a small label and promotions company BEAT HAPPY! MUSIC. I have toured and done merch for SKANKIN' PICKLE, LESS THAN JAKE, DR ROCKET and the MOONPATROL(released on BH!M) and drove the Plea 4 Peace van on the 2003 Warped Tour. I would like this page to be a resource for bands, bookers, zines and the like to spread the music we all love. Please feel free to send promo packs for consideration on future releases or if you are planning on coming to California and looking for shows.Beat Happy! Music P.O.Box 690101 Stockton Ca. 95269
