Skavenjah
During their 17 years together, many bands have come and gone, but with the March 2009 release of their new live album - “One More Night With You” - Skavenjah remains one of the constants in the world of SKA music. Skavenjah has worked very hard to become one of North America’s premiere Ska, Reggae and Soul bands, and their strong songwriting and incredible live show are proof of that.
From their homebase on the Canadian prairies the band tours relentlessly, continually expanding on it’s already dedicated worldwide following as they consistently sell out shows with their trademark mix of SKA, Reggae and Soul music.
In addition to over 20 International compilation appearances, Skavenjah has released 5 full length albums:
Put Some Skank In Your Tank (1993), All Dressed Up (1996), Little Monsters (1999), Light It Up (2003) and El Ritmo de la Vida (2006).
Skavenjah’s sixth full-length album, “One More Night With You”, was released in March, 2009. This diverse 22-track/2 disc offering is a perfect example of how the band has grown and developed over their 17-year career. Recorded live over the course of thier 2008 summer tour, the end product is a solid mix of SKA, Reggae and Soul styles that have become the bands trademark and encompasses the energy of Skavenjah’s live shows. One More Night With You is just what fans of the band have been asking for. This album is proof that Skavenjah has moved well past the growing pains of a band trying to carve a place for itself within a genre. They have not merely survived, but have emerged stronger and ready to take their rightful place as veterans in the world of SKA music.
