After several technical difficulties, I was finally able to sit down with  Dave Kirchgessner to talk about all things ska.  For those who don’t know, Dave is not only the frontman for Mustard Plug, he is also the architect of the popular Ska Is Dead tour, the founder of Dashiki Clout Records, and the manager of Deal’s Gone Bad.  Strap in for a nice, hour-long conversation filled with funny stories about the Warped Tour, the ska boom and bust, and the importance of supporting the local music scene.

Track of the Day: “Hit Me! Hit Me!” by Mustard Plug from the album In Black And White
