Description
Don't watch your 10... watch your back as Checkered Past digs in on highly influential Canadian Ska band, The Kingpins! In this special episode, Engineer Joey takes over hosting duties with Celine as they welcome returning guest, The Ghost of Ska Past to do some much needed Ska history! First they catch up the listener on Ska Past's Checkered Past, how he came to pass away and how he became the beleaguered spirit he is today. Then, the trio dig on the Kingpins from their spy-ska debut to their traditional sophomore album to their way-ahead-of-its-time New Wave-Ska third album. Then, Rob returns to do a game of Guess That Horn and answer some birthday Question the Answers! It's not your average CP/SC! Listen back to the 2022 Skaliday Skanktacular to hear Ghost of Ska Past's previous appearance!
