The Toasters are on the road this April and May. The band completed a pair of dates in New York this weekend and will continue to bring the east side beat up and down the US east coast.
Bucket also posted a "state of a union" of sorts for his new label. Here's the scoop:
Megalith Records has now been up and running for almost one full year. We kicked off with an advance release of the Still Standing compilation at the March 2003 Ska Summit, where 13,000 attendees and 50 ska bands, both national and international, made a statement about the future of ska music as a viable independent genre. This compilation opened the door to a raft of new Megalith releases and, at time of writing, we are proud to offer releases from King Django, Victor Rice, Desorden Público, Westbound Train, New York Ska Jazz Ensemble, Eastern Standard Time, and of course, The Toasters! Coming down the pipe are releases from Hub City Stompers, Two and a Half White Guys and Italy's Mr T-Bone. Later in the year we'll announce release dates for The Blue Beats and Rudie Crew. Look for more news on future releases soon!…We are in it for the long haul and our goal is to help put ska music back on the map by supporting the artists who share our beliefs in the integrity of the music. In 2004 we will open our European office (Megalith Europe) in Valencia, Spain. Digital downloads in lieu of cd product will also be available this year.
