It's had to beliebe that it's been 3 months already since the reunion show on June 1 and it's even harder to put into words how much the show and everybody who came out meant to us. We've always been told by friends and family that the photo blog we posted from the Victoria Ska Festival was a favorite so we've done it again below with some of the photos from the show. Special thanks to Jon Harkel for some of these awesome images.



One of the things that was so awesome about the night was doing a show of that size in a venue as small as The 449 Room. Here's the line outside before the show



Once inside, things got a little crazy



It was awesome to see Fatter Than Albert again (we last played with them in Philly in June of '05), and The Sneaky Sea Lions were off the hook. Third up was Whiskey Flask Revenge and you could tell by the crowd reaction why they're one of the most popular artists in the area.

Up next were The Distorted Penguins, who were performing for the last time in Jersey that night.



One of the best things about playing shows with DP is that since we started doing them we've had the honor of doing a ton of guest appearances with them on stage. Anybody remember the wall of horns at the old American Music Cafe outside of Pittsburgh in the spring of 2003? Sean Hur played keyboards through most of the set and Joe Pulito who joined them on stage for a tune on guitar.



Afterwards, I and the rest of the horns joined them on drums for a cover of "Metuchen." I had to give Court a fist punch afterwards.



Gotta say that right before we went on the energy in the club was incredible. Here's the crowd just before we started.



As soon as we kicked in with our first tune (Somethings Never Change) Joe Fucking Pulito went up and started crowd surfing.



Frankie C killed it on vocals that night too for the first time in 5 years!

May I also add that Josh Ecochard is the fucking man.



Toward the end of the set, Larry Butts, Jeff Hanna, and Pete Silipino joined us on stage for the loudest version of Overlord I have ever heard.



It was also awesome to see Johnny Smile (Vertical Smile/The Dickheads) there who helped us sing the gang vocals he pretty much invented at the end of Irish Breakfast.



We closed the show with V-Town and then did Centerfold as an encore tune. It was certainly a night that we will remember forever. Here's the

So, how do you put the perfect ending on a night like that? Well, a party of course! After the show we all headed over to The Break Away house in Bristol, PA to blow off some steam and then play some softball the next morning. How did the game go you ask? Check back in a couple of weeks and we'll have more!
