- I heard them in Orem, Utah in early October. I was told the band consisted of
- Ranking Roger from The English Beat and three members of The Specials, although
- there were about seven people jumping around on stage, so I don't know who the
- others were. They played nearly all the songs from The Specials self-titled
- album, and although I'm not as familiar with The English Beat, they played the
- Beat songs I did know (Mirror in the Bathroom, etc). I thought they were
- pretty good, and so did the crowd, but besides locals Swim Herschel Swim
- they're the only ska band I've heard live.
