Recently formed LA ska band HaSkaLA played a series of Vans Warped Tour dates on the “Ska Parade Stage” in Southern California this month as part of the 20th Anniversary of Ska Parade.  Each band performs 1-2 songs of historical importance to the development of ska and HaSkaLA decided to go with the classic Fishbone tune “Party At Ground Zero.”  To help them out, the band invited Fishbone’s Angelo Moore, along with members of Monkey, Mustard Plug, Knock-Out, Tazy Phyllipz of Ska Parade Radio and more!   Big ups to Don Adams for directing this video.

You can check out the Vans Warped Tour 2010 when it rolls through Canterbury Park in Shakopee, MN on Sunday, August 1st.
