About Me



WE ARE DON’T MESS WITH WINKIE!
(and we suck.)
We’re a ska band. We have horn players. We play music that we like. We hope you like it too. If you do, come out to a show and enjoy the time with us. We will love you for it.
TESTIMONIAL
"Hey guys, um. I was just wondering if you’ve heard the song "When I come around" by Green Day.. ‘Cause... "Why should I try," your song, sounds, sounds pretty much the same. Except your version fucking sucks. Ska fucking sucks. It sounds like me shitting a bunch of Mexican food out of my asshole, except even that sounds better than you....you’re gay."
We will pretty much play wherever and whenever you want us to. Just drop us a line and we will probably do it.

Please Support!


This is from the Riverfront show! Thanks to Pink Fink Production .
