"HaSkaLA is explosive! Undeniably unique. A boisterous rallying cry for reason, liberty, and freethought. HaSkaLA brings a jolt to the heart, and a tear to the eye. If the world's current Endarkenment will ever transmute into another Renaissance and Enlightenment, then it will be in no small part due to Renaissance bands like HaSkaLA obliterating the false alternative of profoundness and fun with increasingly uncommon skill, melodic sensibility, and passion."

- Jeffrey Falk, "Mencken's Ghost"

TAXI says about our single "Obscene Love-Machine Supreme":
"An attention getter! Engaging and cohesive... Well written lyrics: fun, entertaining and appealing. A good memorable melody, the chorus stands out... Vocals have a lot of personality and emotion and are very believable. The singer has a cool sounding voice with a distinctive style. Good music! 8 out of 10."

The Reviews are In! "Guerilla Grrrl" says:

"Enter HaSkaLA! A brand-spankin'-new haven't-even-cracked-the-owner's-manual-yet ska band from LA... So sparkly new (their second show ever was the show on the 25th in Carson City)... with the emphasis both on showmanship (including dress code) and on musicianship. HaSkaLA's got this down: they write songs that are eminently danceable. In a nutshell, HaSkaLA is fun. Frontman Steve takes the stage with his eyes ringed with kohl, clad in a burka, which is quickly shed... Watching him perform, I got the feeling that I had wandered into a vaguely sinister dystopia in which ska is the only possibility for redemption... HaSkaLA has caught on to the ludicrous irony of both the universe as a whole and the music industry specifically, and so far at least, they're laughing at it. Spring for a $35 Warped ticket and camp out in front of the Kevin Says stage, where HaSkaLA will be taking over!"

Um, about last night... FISHBONE!!!!!

About last night... Welp. How can I say this politely? It was the GREATEST %^&%^&$!!! night in HaSkaLA's short life! At our 4th show ever! Lead singer of Fishbone, Angelo Moore (my childhood hero, the man who has provided me with endless fuel & fire, and gifted me with innumerable black-eyes in incalculable mosh-pits), the man didn't just hang onstage and skank to our entire set at The Vans Warped Tour. During our encore he hopped up and sang an epic, certifiably insane ten minute version of "Party at Ground Zero" with us. One which with be ringing sweetly in my ears on my death-bed! We exchanged flips & rolls onstage and he told us "we were some crazy, Crazy, CRAZY Muthers". (For a loyal Fishbone Soldier I consider this the highest praise possible!) The smiles say it all. See below and/or attached. Video footage should be up by week's end. All love to Kevin Lyman, Tazy Phyllipz, The Vans Warped Tour, Ska Parade Radio, Fishbone and Angelo for being alive and knowing it! And come catch it again, Tuesday August 10th in San Diego!
