Act Profile
Skankstas
Skankstas have been together for five years.
The band have built up a name for entertaining, and involving audiences in their shows in clubs, pubs and festivals across London and the South East.
Recent gigs at Proud Camden, The Bedford in Balham and Folkestone Ska Festival have cemented their reputation as a great live act featuring top quality musicians.
As such, Easyskanking aim to put a smile on your face and a swing in your step!
A typical set includes songs ranging from Desmond Dekker's 'Israelites', through 'Monkey Man', via a reggae rendition of 'Walking in the Air' and over to a rather surreal delivery of Katy Perry's 'I Kissed a Girl'.
If you can hum it, we'll skank it!
