Description

Checkered Past is the lesser of two weevils as they explore the history of the pride of Utah Ska, Stretch Armstrong! Or is that Stretsch Armstronng? Or the Stretch Band? However you spell it, Rob and Celine need some help so they bring along the online Ska godfather, RJ Phoenix of 23Min of Ska and On the Upbeat! First, RJ talks about R/Ska on Reddit, his history building Ska's online presence and what he believes the future may hold for the genre. Then, the trio dig in on the wild world of Stretch from their beginnings in the wake of Swim Herschel Swim, their circus/swing influences and their general disdain for being career musicians. This episode will make you drool!

Checkered Past is the #1 Edmonton-based Ska History podcast. Every two (tone) weeks siblings Celine and Rob dig in on a different ska band covering their history, impact and catalogue. Expect a lot of jokes, culture discussions and of course, ska-based puns. Great for new, lapsed and casual listeners of the genre as well as fellow Skaficianados!
