Description

Don't watch your 10... watch your back as Checkered Past digs in on highly influential Canadian Ska band, The Kingpins! In this special episode, Engineer Joey takes over hosting duties with Celine as they welcome returning guest, The Ghost of Ska Past to do some much needed Ska history! First they catch up the listener on Ska Past's Checkered Past, how he came to pass away and how he became the beleaguered spirit he is today. Then, the trio dig on the Kingpins from their spy-ska debut to their traditional sophomore album to their way-ahead-of-its-time New Wave-Ska third album. Then, Rob returns to do a game of Guess That Horn and answer some birthday Question the Answers! It's not your average CP/SC!Listen back to the 2022 Skaliday Skanktacular to hear Ghost of Ska Past's previous appearance!Hosts: Engineer Joey and CelineEngineer: JoeyEditor: CutmanSkassociate Producer: Chris Reeves of Ska Punk InternationalWebsite: www.checkeredpast.caPatreon: www.patreon.com/checkeredpast

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!
