Enjoy Yourself: There's More Ska Than You Think
@enjoyyrself
Live from Denver, an internet show about all things Ska airing on Mixcloud (most) Thursdays at 7pm Mountain Time. Recently migrated from the Nazi platform. DMs open. skeets by @skankingdept.bsky.social
Once a year the airport in Norfolk, Virginia gets jammed up with ska fans from around the world who then converge down by the beach to do the ska for 72+ hours straight before heading back to real life. Tonight we're talking to one of the brains behind our adult summer camp: It's Tim Receveur, y'all
Originally Dr. No in the late nineties, another enigmatic third wave band has reunited in the Lord's decade (the 2020s, as everyone knows), this time reborn as Doc Turbo. We don't like to get serious on the show but this WILL be a gruelling deposition on their whereabouts over the last 30 years.
Tonight is just hour after hour of our guest and my co-hosts just dunking on me relentlessly for being baby. We're joined by Lone Raspberry, the enigmatic '90s Orange County act who *looks around and hushes voice* was actually behind the entire 3rd wave. Come unravel the conspiracy with us.
Cancel your plans--tonight is a two-for-one: 1. H-Town haters rejoice as we host our first ever Houston-free episode. Will it be a hit? All data points to yes! 2. Our first ever international live stream as we dig into the beautiful sounds of Colombia's own, The Toughers. C u in the chat linkinbio
In the lead up to Pioneer Valley Ska Fest, we reached out to Eric from 413Ska to chat and help promote it. He immediately concocted the wild night we have ahead of us as we are joined by members of Sgt. Scag, ghost tones, and The Agonizers. Show at 7p MT. linktr.ee/enjoyyourselfskashow
Tonight we're lucky to be joined by Harry Katz of Harry Katz and the Pistachios, a new act with a sound that's both retro and fresh. They're being described as "Tom Waits meets B-52s with a horn section" and it's so concise that I'm at a loss for words beyond it. Go listen to their EP right away.
Screaming, crying, throwing up, and never killing myself because tonight we get to host some of my favorite people (and one of the absolute best bands doing it right now) on our little program. It's skacore's finest, PWRUP, y'all! See you in the chat, Lincoln bio, xoxo.
Tonight! I am once again pushing through a sick day, this time to help welcome the Erics from Los Mal Hablados to the program. We are huge fans of this band's huge sound and we can't wait to dive into it with them. Join us in the chat, as always, at 7pm MDT (5/28) linktr.ee/enjoyyourselfskashow
Tonight we are beyond delighted to have Ontario's own, Arcade Allstars on the program. Mathias has been a long time friend of the show and we can't wait to turn the tables on him. Go listen to their 2025 album Destined 4 Disaster then come hang in the chat. 7 PM MT linktr.ee/enjoyyourselfskashow
2 whole years already. Nuts. Bonkers. Come join the chaos with us as we will be joined by EVERY past guest with the GUTS to join us. Get up in this chaos. Join us tomorrow @9 Eastern Time. linktr.ee/enjoyyourselfskashow
To say I've glazed this record is an understatement but glaze is only surface level. Tonight we've got Rosey and Kurt on the show to plunge into the substance and details that make this album so special. If you've got some burning Qs, throw 'em in the chat! 7p MT :: linktr.ee/enjoyyourselfskashow
We've got Leah Farmer on the stream tonight! We are so excited to chat with the person behind one of our favorite voices in the diaspora (especially finding out where she stands on the whole hamster/bear debate). Her debut solo record drops on Badasonic next month--keep your ears peeled! 7p MT do it
Tonight at 7p MT we've got the only ska band out there making music that actually sounds like it was crafted by creatures forged from pure darkness. It's Stuck Lucky, y'all, hop in. linktr.ee/enjoyyourselfskashow
Tonight on the show, we've got our friends from Albuquerque, Los Domingueros. On top of making a top notch blend of ska, cumbia, and alt rock, AND letting us premiere a their new single, they are some of the sweetest, most supportive people in the scene. 7p mst linktr.ee/enjoyyourselfskashow
Speaking of, we've got Mega Infinity (@megainfinity.band) on our program tomorrow evening! These are some of my favorite people in the ska community. And the ska community is my favorite community, so these are some of my favorite people, period. Hop in, 2/26 @ 7p mst! linktr.ee/enjoyyourselfskashow
50% Mega 🤝 50% Sweetheart 100% reason to remember the name Tonight! on twitch.tv/megawednesday
Alright, for real and for true--no fooling this time--the Mike Sosinski episode is happening tonight. You've had an extra week to prepare hot takes for the chat. Did you blow it? linktr.ee/enjoyyourselfskashow
Head's up! We're starting 30 minutes earlier than usual tonight to accommodate for our east coast guest's schedule. Don't get used to it! Tonight we've got Mike Sosinski on the stream with us to get everyone pumped for the newest rendition of the Bad Time Tour. Trust me, get tickets while you can.
Tomorrow we've got our pal Chris from Catbite pouncing on the stream. This will be our first (of many!) drummer-only episode, so come witness our brains short circuit and get rewired live on air. Hit the chat! 2/5 @ 7p MDT linktr.ee/enjoyyourselfskashow
All our favorite moments happen off the air.
Tonight we are beyond honored to be joined by hometown heroes and latest addition to the Bad Time roster, Sorry Sweetheart! Link in bio, show @ 7p MDT. Apologies for no alt text, using my phone lefthanded suuuucks.
The 'Dulus are back, baby! And this time Jeremy is bringing Mario and Leah along to go on a deep dive with us into their new (for us!) album, The Stars Above, out everywhere 1/16. Come listen to this record with us and hit the band with some questions and compliments. 1.15//7 PM MST linkinbio
Our top 20s weren't ordered but we did rank our top 13s:
It's time! The final show of the year when we're gonna give all of our favorite releases of 2025 their due praise. And with a guest co-host in tow! Everyone come say hi to @almightydanish.bsky.social in the chat tomorrow night (12/18, 7p MST) linktr.ee/enjoyyourselfskashow
Our final interview of the year is someone we've looked forward to having on the show since we began. Tune in this Thursday to catch @flyingraccoonsuit.bsky.social on the stream! Mississippi's only ska-punk band (maybe--don't spoil it for me, let's find out together). linktr.ee/enjoyyourselfskashow
In 2.5 hours, we are going live with hot mics, hot butts, and even hotter feet to chat with Scott and Ryan from FoCo favorites, The Swashbuckling Doctors. This is a show for people who love: 1) energy 2) skanking (demonic or otherwise) 3) line dancing? Get on it! linktr.ee/enjoyyoursel...
In 87 minutes we'll be going live in person with one of our favorite acts playing ska/rocksteady in the Denver area. Between politically-aware banter, The Opalites play chill ass bluebeat music with soulful tenor vocals that make you feel like falling in love for the first time. linkinbio #ska
Boo. Scared ya. Got ya. Tonight we're gonna give y'all something to get you In The Mood (for Terror). 2+ hours of spooky ska. Or ska-adjacent spooky music. Or spooky-adjacent ska music. The request lines are open here and Facebook right now and will remain open on the stream chats.
Tonight we are #blessed to be graced by members of the hot, new ska punk outfit @lesserrockstars.bsky.social. c u in tha chat 📸: @everyshowjoe.com 📸: Thomas Ochoa Photography
