Midwest reggae rockers and MNSKA band Jon Wayne and The Pain are once again trekking across the country showcasing their unique mix of Reggae, Rock and Dub.  The Spring Meltdown Tour kicks off on Thursday March 10th and rolls until May 14th.

Reliably packing dance floors, the perpetually touring act has really evolved in the past year on the road. Their sound continues to morph with their live Dub-Step experimentation and high energy renditions of their original and catchy recorded tracks.

The Spring Meltdown Tour is brought to you by Northern Pine Longboards.

WI reggae-rock band T.U.G.G. played a big show in January at Howie’s in La Crosse with MNSKA band Jon Wayne and The Pain.  This video is from that show and features a brand-new song called “Summer of ’93.”  The band invited Milwaukee hip-hop artist Cutty Currency on-stage for the song.  I also like the full horn section, they should play with T.U.G.G. more often!
