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!
