<a href="https://dendritesmassive.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">T﻿he Dendrites</a>Composed of seven talented musicians, The Dendrites have become Denver’s most prominent ska act. The Dendrites create tightly performed, multi-layered music that harkens back to the golden days of 1960s Jamaican ska, while introducing more modern influences. The group initially formed twenty years ago, and have since built a solid following and dependable reputation. Their sound is classic yet progressive, powerful but without sacrificing fun.The Dendrites’ most recent release, 2020’s “Lunchin’ with the Dendrites” provides a fresh take on the classic ska sound, incorporating elements of Jazz, Latin,and Funk into a dynamic new sound. ‘Damn Right’ 2017 served as a follow-up to the group’s self-released 2013 EP, ‘Fly Casual’. The group has also released two other full-length albums– a 2011 self-titled collection of live and studio recordings, and Mountain Standard Time, released in 2009 through Megalith Records.They have opened up for acts such as Ozomatli, The Slackers, The Aggrolites, Fishbone, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Reel Big Fish, The Skatalites and a slew of other legendary groups. In 2018, they were voted Denver’s Best Ska band by readers of Westword Magazine. They were also one of five local acts to play Riot Fest Denver. The band continues to play their slick yet lively version of traditional ska. They remain one of the leaders of a growing new generation of American ska.<a href="https://www.instagram.com/potatopirates/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">P﻿otato Pirates</a>&quot;﻿Tom Murphy from Westword stated back in 2009 that this band is able to, “take various styles of music considered dead — or at least exhausted of ideas — and inject them with an infectious, youthful exuberance. Part ska, part punk, part whatever it is that this quintet has absorbed over the years, the resulting sound crackles with a wiry energy.” ---Colorado Music Buzz.<a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100057275244782" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">T﻿he Repercussions</a>The Repercussions were formed the summer of 1999 in the greater Washington DC metropolitan area. Their sound was crafted carefully over the years by reflecting their environment. Washington DC is a fast paced, bellicose city and consequently so are The Repercussions. Heavily influenced by the DC hardcore sound and bred into a polluted reggae tone, its tough to keep you’re feet still while the band wails and upstrokes its way into that soft spot you have in your heart for music that just makes you wanna’ smash the status quo. After relocating to Denver in 2007, the band immediately went to work making new connections, writing new songs and picked up a new local bass player. Revisiting their influences and adding a sense of urgent direction and finesse, Denver provided the band a breath of new life and inspiration. Don’t get it twisted though, this band isn’t here to preach a bizarre political agenda, rather to point out and frame the position our society has created for its self over the years and therefore essentially mock the existing condition of our consumer driven American culture.
