Rumours about this show have been floating around message boards for most of the month and while it seems to be legit, I thought it best to open it up for discussion here in the meantime. We'll get more information as it's made available but the news is that there is an Oi! / Skampilation 10th Anniversary Show planned for November. It will celebrate the 10th anniversary of Radical Records celebrated 1994 Oi! / Skampilation record. The event, which is to commence on November 6th at the Knitting Factory in NYC, will feature two nights of music from bands involved in the compilation series.
According to the press release Saturday will feature all punk bands, in particular a Blanks 77 reunion. Other bands slated to play the evening include The Wretched Ones, The Krays, The Press, Faction Zero and Broken Heroes. Sunday will feature ska and reggae with reunions of Mephiskapheles, The Skoidats and Inspector 7. Other bands listed include Ruder Than You, The Scorchers and Rudy Crew. Several of the band's websites are confirming that the event is legit, although tentative. We'll get more info on this soon
