Subject: 3.1: Introduction
In response to all of those ``Isn't ska some dance form of reggae?''
questions, I present the following historical background to the music we
call ska, gleaned from liner notes I have lying about the place, various
postings to (news:alt.music.ska), and sundry emailings with helpful ska
fans.
*** [August 96]
The Hypertext Ska FAQ has moved to its final home! The new URL is

Michael Cancilla (mailto:mcancill@polyslo.calpoly.edu) posted a long list
of ska bands that I have incorporated into this FAQ. That list has grown
to list over 500 bands! Mike Fragassi (mailto:mfragass@ucs.indiana.edu) emailed
me about 10k in response to my request for more info and is still at it.
Thanks Mikes! Thanks also to everyone else in a.m.s and other reaches of
netspace who sent me info.
Dance harder!

Hey, if we're going to dance, someone has to make the music!
Bandlist
========
Subject: 3.3: *What are the names of some ska bands?*
These names are culled from various sources, especially Michael
Cancilla (mcancill@polyslo.calpoly.edu), Brian Rosenthal
(brianr@skamusic.com) and others on alt.music.ska. Giusy Grasselli sent
in more Italian bands. Hector Rivas (rivash@ing.ula.ve) sent info
about Venezuelan bands.
Thanks to everyone who sends me information. We now list over *760*
bands! Yes, we finally go `A' to `Z'.
The format: Bandname (Location) {Style} [time period]
e.g. Fubars, The (Verona) {Funky ska} [1989-1992]
So, please help! Send me any info you have for this little project,
which I think will make this band list much more informative.
Also, for bands with non-English names, I will alphabetize by the
name, *including the article* (`Los,' `Die,' `La,' etc.). That is,
`Les Enfants de St. Gall' are listed under `L,' even though, in a more
multilingual world I would list them under `E.'
Additionally, Jay Vidheecharoen, jvidhee@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu, snail
mail at: 1800 Engel Road #747, Lawrence KS 66045, is developing a
"Directory of Ska." Contact Jay for details.
