Known many years ago as State of Emergency, this group of 30+ ska old schoolers have been keeping the flame of '60s Jamaica for over a decade, long before the music became such a fad with junior highers. In 1996 Skapone release the full length CD, Bold New Flavor.
Skapone continues to perform at many venues throughout the Chicago area and mid-west. The band has also been hitting the studio hard, putting the finishing touches on a new CD of original tunes for release later in 2007.
Members include bassist Mark Calahan, guitarists Link Seabrooks and Chris Dorff, brothers trumpeter Mitch Goldman and trombonist Al Goldman, Kurt Anderson and Jason Duerr on saxaphone, and drummer Tony Dale.
