The SKABHANGERS are playing at Tanswells Hotel for the first time! Taking inspiration from the sound of 1960s Jamaican ska and early rocksteady, the Skabhangers are a Naarm/Melbourne-based act gaining a reputation for their dynamic live shows. After emerging in late 2019 and performing where possible between lockdowns, 2022 saw the Skabhangers perform at the Jamaican Music & Food Festival and take home 2nd prize in PBS FM’s February Performer Drive! Their self-produced debut album, recorded in a back-shed home studio in Reservoir, was released in January 2023, and has received airplay locally and overseas. In September 2024 the Skabhangers undertook a successful tour through NSW to QLD, and in December played once again at the Jamaican Music & Food Festival! Performing two sets from 9pm. FREE ENTRY!
