Holy Crap, this is insane [spoiler] the part where Scott Klopfenstein talks about “play small little towns” [/spoiler] it shows video footage of a club [spoiler] (even though he is talking about a community center) [/spoiler] with a disco ball and tinsel curtains behind the stage which was like 6 inches to a foot off the ground. That was a club called “putting on the ritz” in Victorville, Ca(maybe Hesperia or Apple Valley). I saw SO many bands there, even saw [spoiler] Reel Big Fish for the first time there and bought the EP version of Everything suck before Turn the Radio Off came out. [/spoiler] so I could have been there that night. Heck my brothers band Just Four Now (ironic name for a 3 piece punk band) played there. It’s so insane to me that a place I have been to is in a documentary, I may have been there when the footage was shot, there’s even a possibility I was in the footage. It blows my mind and just unlocked so many memories.

This is a love letter to not only ska in the 90s, but ska in general. The film makers do a superb job at providing the history and context before diving into the 90s and then spend a decent amount of time discussing its future.

Many many many ska bands were interviewed.

It’s ver much required viewing if you consider yourself a fan of ska or want to learn more about it!
