About Me

The Shenanigans are a Ska-band hailing from the City of Utrecht Since their start early 2002, they've developed an own, typical sound. Modern-time ska with that flavour of rock, powerfull up-tempo ska, jamaican rocksteady, The Shenanigans play it all! The two demos, Ashes to Ashes, Ska to Ska, (2002) en Sharpening the Horns (2003) and the debut album Loud & Clear (2006) are good examples of the qualities of this band. However, everyone agrees: The Shenanigans are a band you need to see live. Smartly dressed, they manage with their energy, positive vibes and enthousiasm, to put down a show which grips anyone! With their solid beat, battery of screaming horns and melodic vocals, The Shenanigans guarantee that you will dance, whether you like it or not!!
