Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

The Beat Goes On

Ironically, Boston’s Big D and the Kids Table may be to ska’s eventual Fourth Wave what The Toasters were to its Third: elder statesmen. For more than a decade, the punkish two-tone outfit has maintained its rude and reckless cool, bearing the torch as countless genre contemporaries faded into ska’s checkered past. This Thursday, dust off that bomber jacket, straighten your skinny tie, and kick up those Doc Martens as the band swings by Club Metronome with B-town rude boys Husbands AKA and local punks Lord Silky.
