The Flyover Ska Show: Episode 35 – The Pinstripes

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012

Everybody loves new music, right?  Mike from Cincinnati band The Pinstripes calls in to the show to talk to Courtney about their brand new record The Pinstripes /I.  The two discuss the benefits of Kickstarter, why this album may not be their debut record, but sounds like a completely different band, and how to get lost in the rabbit-hole of Jamaican music. Check out the brand new album, which drops on February 3rd on their website. And if you’re in the Twin Cities area, check out The Pinstripes at The Red Sea in Minneapolis on Saturday, March 3rd with special guests The Prizefighters, Dred I Dread, and Umbrella Bed!

Legends Of Ska Update and Derrick Morgan Interview

Wednesday, July 27th, 2011

Hey ska fans!  I wanted to take the time to remind you that our friend Brad Klein (aka General Moses) is still hard at work on the upcoming Legends Of Ska documentary.  His Kickstarter campaign is coming down the homestretch with only 16 days left, he is a little over $1,000 dollars short of his $15,000 goal.  We at MNSKA feel that this is a very important film and a piece of history, so we encourage you to please contribute HERE.

Back in 2000, General Moses was the host of Rude Radio (Radio K, KUOM 770AM/100.7FM/104.5FM, Minneapolis, MN) and he conducted a phone interview with ska legend Derrick Morgan.  Check out his 4-part interview HERE.


“Legends of Ska” film in post-production!

Tuesday, March 15th, 2011

We here at MNSKA have all been waiting since 2002 for the release of the penultimate documentary on ska, Legends of Ska, and now it’s finally in post-production! The new trailer looks fantastic. The only hurdle left is that the film still needs additional funding.  The film’s producer, Minnesota’s own Brad Klein (aka General Moses) has launched a Kickstarter page to raise funds to cover production costs.  Please visit the site and contribute!

This is your chance to be a part of this ground-breaking film. Every dollar counts, so even small support is appreciated. Although, you do get cool swag if you contribute more…

PLEASE watch the trailer and pledge your support for the release of this long-awaited film. You can check the progress of the fundraiser on MNSKA.com.  What are you waiting for? Help make the Legends of Ska movie a reality!!!
