Checkered Socks

“From the Muddy Banks of the Wabash River comes the Soul Sonic, Blues Drenched, Sounds of Reggae and Ska that is the Green Room Rockers. Tuff concrete for your dancing feet thats served hot by the slice, for the Right Price.”

Pulled from their Facebook site, how could I better describe a band? Blue’s Drenched is right: The Green Room Rockers, a band I saw a few nights ago open for the Slackers, focuses on the tough spots in life. Songs about being poor, ex-girlfriends, and people who don’t understand are all lyrical topics of the band.

Thee band was produced by Dave Hillard, the saxophonist of The Slackers, and I can see why he has an interest in the young group. These guys can’t be older than there late twenties, which in ska-terms, is pretty young. That means with the talent they showed on stage for getting the crowd moving, they have plenty of time to ripen into a big name in the ska community.  You can still get some cheap tickets at basement shows to see them, but don’t plan on that deal lasting long. These guys will be going places.
