Bim Skala Bim celebrates 40 years of Boston ska

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:13:22 GMT

When the band Bim Skala Bim first appeared in 1983, Boston didn’t have much of a ska scene. They worked hard over the years to make sure we got one.This Saturday the band celebrates its 40th anniversary at the Crystal Ballroom. True to their roots, it’s an all-ages matinee. “When we started there were just a couple of ska bands in town,” frontman Dan Vitale recalled this week. “There was Dub 7, who we really looked up to because they opened for the Clash on Cape Cod. As a young band we were very much into reggae as well as ska, in fact some of the first airplay we got in town was for our reggae songs. We didn’t have anyone to compare ourselves to, but we all loved Bob Marley and UB40. At that time it wasn’t easy to be an all-white reggae band, but now you can’t swing a stick without hitting one.”Bim Skala Bim has also been a remarkably stable band: All seven of the band’s original members have remained in the picture over the years, and all will be appearing this weekend.

Trump’s unexpected victory in 2016 launched conspiracy theories about how Russia had helped him win; catalyzed a years-long law-enforcement investigation into him and his campaign based on those theories; and set off protests in the streets.Trump’s opponents are sincerely, and to some extent, understandably alarmed by his conduct after the 2020 election, and how he’s branded his political comeback as a revenge tour.For most of them, though, saving democracy doesn’t mean upholding the rules no matter what and letting the voters decide the election and the fate of the next president. No, it means blocking Donald Trump by any means necessary, regardless of the consequences for the rule of law, democratic politics or faith in our system of government....
