Last night started off in a little post-Two Tone, contemporary UK Ska, kind-of-place-  but things quickly turned back towards the States, where we spent most of the rest of the night.  3rd wave Neo-Trad was the order of the day, with non-Hepcat tunes from Alex Desert and Greg Lee;  NY Ska from The Slackers, Stubborn All-Stars and The Checkered Cabs; and tons of STL tunes from the likes of The Skalars, Murder City Players and The Urge.

There was much dancing and merriment, but if you missed it all is not lost-  this episode will be archived and streaming at KDHX.org for the next two weeks.
