i saw one of the "ska revival" bands you guys mentioned last night, and i don't mind admitting that i really dig going to hear it once in a while.
the classic stuff is still best. the early Madness stuff was also pretty good...one step beyond and all..

I wish I could find it but The Onion once ran a headline that went something like,
"Ska Band Outnumber Audience"
Having gone to a few shows to support my friends in ska bands, I had a good laugh.

CT had a pretty big ska scene for a while. lead mostly by my boys spring heeled jack. unfortunately i had to witness a lot of them.
couple 'ska' bands i could get into...
NY Citizens
Spring Heeled Jack
and i don't really consider them ska, but the fucking mighty mighty bosstones are in my top 5 bands of all time! they cover metallica and throw in fucking barry manilow into the middle of the song. that shit is tight.

Just to follow up a post coming from Milwaukee.
Not a huge ska fan, but Ska + Milwaukee = Wild Kingdom. They were a cool band.
