Happy Friday From The Voodoo Glow Skulls

When I was in high school in the 1990s I used to listen to the Voodoo Glow Skulls and think they were the epitome of cool. As a matter of fact, I was going to be in a band, and we were going to be cool like them.

Of course that never happened, but nonetheless I still listen to this ska band from Southern California. They’ve been at it since 1988, and by “it” I mean making often silly and ever cool, bilingual rock/ska songs.

There is English, Spanish, trumpets, saxophones, bass, drums and more, here are a few of my favorites, but the band has a pretty extensive catalogue. You could say that VDGS inspires nostalgia in me, but then again, it’s also great driving music.
