The planets aligned this week and Courtney was able to talk to not one, but TWO members from long-standing punk-reggae group Sic & MAD.  Guitarist Vic Ruggiero and frontman Happy call-in from Version City Studios, home of Stubborn Records, to promote their latest record Songs For The Revolution.  Listen in as the guys chat about why it’s “punk rock” to like MySpace, how Happy is indirectly to blame for the formation of The Slackers, and how the genesis of Sic & MAD is a story of kids lying to impress a cute girl.  From high school reunions to Hot Topic, Vic and Happy discuss it all.

This show is brought to you in part by MNSKA.com, Minnesota’s Ska Community and the Fancy Pants Gangsters podcast network.  Become a fan of the show on Facebook, follow Courtney on Twitter, or email him at FOSS@fancypantsgangsters.com.
