I was proud as punch to be the guests of the Skatalites at the 3 Floors of Ska show at the NYC Knitting Factory, Feb 2007 heres a snippet of the action going down! Guest Trombonist, Obi Fernandez from Westbound Train!
Long time friend of the show, Coolie Ranx aka Obiajula (formerly of Pilfers & The Toasters) came by the set just to represent and Qmaxx called him onstage. Coolie was of course fully down so he got on and rocked the mic. NUFF SAID! Dedicated to Joe Strummer (R.I.P.)

Manhattan Neighborhood Network was rocked to its foundations in August 2001 when 6' blonde bombshell Call me Audrey took on Checkerboard Kids host Phil. She might have height and skill but Phil has the weight advantage plus CSWF wrestler Billy Firehawk in his corner! Hopefully ref will make sure it's a fair match!

Jewel (lead singer/ bass) was angered when she discovered her brother is doing a bid in prison for being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Instead of blowing stuff up, she put her energy into songwriting to positively channel her rage at the system. Bravissima Jewel! We wish you and the other members of "Cedric Obando and the Broken Condoms" success!

Brave New Girls big finale was always this song. But this particular version held special weight because it was their final performance together. After this song the members of BNG would say farewell and they would scatter to the the ends of the earth never to perform together again. When Dunia Best says Goodbye at the end she really means it.
