A Steady Beat Film Details
A Steady Beat Film chronicles the Los Angeles 90s Ska Scene, documenting a gray area gap period commonly referenced as the "Third Wave" era in the Ska community. Though there is debate over how the artists featured in this film fit under that mainstream umbrella in sound, the period, not the music, can be classified as 3rd wave. The difference is the rear-view mirror approach to the music which arguably would not have happened without the bands, but also, without The Blackpool and Steady Beat Recordings there would have been a definite vacuum. The L.A. Ska scene is notorious among scenes for its sights, sounds, and fury. And now through the gift of technology & social media can we invite the world in for a closer look.We invite you to experience never before seen footage, photos, stories and interviews with Los Angeles' heavy-weight bands and performers from over 30 years ago. Among them: Hepcat, Jump with Joey, Ocean 11, Mobtown, Yeska, The Allentons, See Spot, The Dynamics and L.A. 's first all-female ska band, The Shantees.
