ACTION has helped keep Calgary's

blend of music rooted in third wave
ska-punk with shades of reggae and
dub mixed in. Having shared the stage
with such acts as Bedouin Soundclash,
The English Beat, Gob, The Flatliners,
The Aggrolites and illScarlett, they
have become known for their high energy
performances and beats that make you
want to dance!
The

horn-driven ska at its finest! This
5-piece band brings a wide variety
of influences and styles to the stage...
be prepared to dance, skank, mosh,
sweat, and find out why they're called
The Brass Action.
BONE
DADDIES have created a new
sound that is familiar and yet distinctively
unique, taking influences from a wide
variety of musical genres including
ska, reggae, swing, jazz, rockabilly
and punk. Moving dance floors with
their newly fused sound, they present
a musical momentum that's easy to
get swept up in.
BREHDREN
- With varied musical backgrounds
and a combined love of ska and reggae,
the eight members of Brehdren blend
elements of jazz, indie pop and progressive
rock to create their unique flavour.
Boasting a crazy, energetic front
man and dedicated horn section, they
cover a wide range of ground from
extended jams to two-minute freak
outs. Not to be missed!
