SUMMARY:The Toasters - 43 Years of Ska
DESCRIPTION:THE TOASTERS: 43 Years of Ska\n\n“In my opinion\, The Toaster
 s are to ska in America the 1980s and beyond what The Specials were to ska
  in the U.K. in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s\, and what the Skatalites
  were to ska in Jamaica in the 1960s. The Toasters were innovators\, creat
 ors\, shapers of the music\, evolving it in a fresh direction\, blending i
 t with the cultural influences in a very American manner\, and I mean that
  in a completely complimentary way. Just as Byron Lee &amp\; the Dragonair
 es brought professionalism and polish to ska\, allowing others to benefit 
 from the fruits of their labor\, so too did the Toasters’ music allow nu
 merous other bands to share in the spotlight of skill and success\, many o
 f whom have gone on to great heights. Upon the shoulders of giants. Oh\, y
 eah\, and they kick ass!”\n\n-Heather Augustyn\,\nAuthor of SKA \, An Or
 al History\n__\n\nAfter 43 years\, The Toasters are hitting the gas\, not 
 the brakes. With an international all-star line-up their whirlwind global 
 tour continues unabated across the continents. Performances are scheduled 
 in South America\, Asia and Russia on top of regular touring in the USA\, 
 Europe and Canada.\n\nFormed on the Lower East Side of NYC the band is the
  longest running US SKA formation. They bridge the gap between England’s
  2-Tone movement and the American Ska explosion of the 90’s which they a
 re rightfully credited with starting.  During the 3rd Wave Ska revival Th
 e Toasters formed the famous Moon Records label and kick-started the caree
 rs of dozens of bands.\n\nBy the numbers:\n\n 	 6500+ live shows\n• CBGB
 ’S core top 20 artist\n• Mojo Magazine ranked #4 SKA band of all time\
 n• Chosen by Dicky Barrett of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones as one of his 
 top 5 ska bands\n• Bandsintown #5 hardest working band 2014\n\nSponsorsh
 ips include Reverend Guitars (International Ambassadors)\, Ernie Ball\, Du
 nlop\, Mono\, Orange Amplification\, Danny Cash Hot Sauce\, Pickworld and 
 Ska Brewing
