Bluesfest: The Resignators

Bluesfest features all kinds of music these days, but they seem to have particular success with the crowds in branching out into reggae and ska. I like the ska, albeit not in the heroic doses usually consumed by the two-tone faithful, and I prefer the purist variety. So while Melbourne, Australia's The Resignators definitely won a few new fans on the Subway stage with their "psycho-ska" I was only mildly interested.

Guitar action with Steve!



Francis gets a grip.



Trumpeter Ted blows it.



Stacy works the keys.



Bruce on bass. An Australian named Bruce?!?



Brassy action with Jono and Ted.



Singing and skanking (and that's drummer Sharpy at back).



More Jono!



Dancin' Francis!



Steve frets!



Singing and strumming action!



Bonus Francis!

Extra Bruce.



The end!



Next stop, a quick trip to see The Twisters.
