About Me

After over three years of hardship, Mechatama appears to have found itself nearing the top of Buffalo's local scene, gracing the stage with such musical acts as: English Beat RX Bandits Toasters Slackers Big D and the Kids Table Ill Scarlet One Night Band The Expos and Bedouin Soundclash ...These lads continue to hone their craft by touring when ever within their means, from Ohio to Vermont, Ontario and Quebec. Mechatama's eclectic and undoubtedly original mix of ska, rock, reggae, latin, pop and dub, all served with a progressive edge, leaves the crowd hot and heavy into the night demanding more. With plans for yet another tour in early August (check for dates!) and a full length album in the writing stage, this group seems to have an electric start which gleams with potential.CHECK OUT OUR NICE MERCHANDISE n CLASSY Big Cartel STORE @ : http://mechatama.bigcartel.com/products Link to us!:
