| Beat Soup / Press / Old News / The First Annual Middlebury Ska Fest | March 8, 1998 |
The
First Annual |
w/ Skavoovie and the
Epitones, Beat Soup, Big Lick, and the Skamaphrodites Although not a single member of Beat Soup woke up Sunday morning in a dorm room, Middlebury College's first annual Ska Fest on 2/21 was still indeed a great event. We had a great time playing and the crowd was awesome! Our new tunes received some very positive feedback, so keep your eyes and ears open for them appearing on a new CD in the not too distant future. The Skamaphrodites (from Burlington VT) did an outstanding job warming the crowd up with their entertaining brand of energetic ska. This is definitely a band to watch out for in the future - make sure you catch them if you get the chance. Big Lick delivered once again a rockin', pumped up set that never let down, and forced you jump around with them. By the time Skavoovie took the stage, the crowd was good and ready to be whipped up into a skanking frenzy. Skavoovie is a great band and their
shows are always heaps of fun. We've played a
number of times with them over the years and they're
sounding better than ever. EVERYBODY in the crowd
was dancing and a good time was had by all. Much
props go out to Russ Costa who did a fantastic job
organizing this show! We're looking forward to the
2nd annual show up there next year! |
