Who knew these apple cheeked imps would go on to be hundredaire rock stars with failing livers?

Live ON July 1996, huh?
Please, please, please, PLEASE... proof-read.

Jesus Christ... Does it really bother you that much?

whoa how did you get those sweet video effects on your cell phone?

An evening of extraordinary consequence.

Man, I used to love these fucking guys. Still do, but I used to too.

skolarx (April 18, 2012)

Did you see the shows they played in the Shelter and at St Andrews back in 96? So so good

sirsambo (April 18, 2012)

Nope. Thanks for reminding me. Dick. Haha! Just kidding.

I saw them play Detroit on that tour. Not quite as amazing as the show a few months before with MU330 (who played probably the second best set I've ever seen any band play ever) but the show is still in my top 10 favorite shows. I miss the days where there were incredible ska shows like once a week.

sirsambo (April 18, 2012)

Whenever I used to think that I was getting bored with ska, I would listen to "Chumps On Parade" and "Ten Songs And Then Some", then it would re-fuel me for months. Not that I had to convince myself to like the genre or anything. I loved all the bands around here back then. Skolars, Parka Kings, Mustard Plug, Suicide Machines... We had it good for awhile in Detroit.

MU330: Most underrated band. They rule so hard. Ultra-panic - amazing punk/ska, perfect.

I haven't listened to Slapstick in years, but I still knew every word to every song!

seeing Brendan without any tattoos (that I can tell) is really fucking weird.

hijacknoise (April 19, 2012)

Dan with hair is bizarre as well.

Lvenice88 (April 19, 2012)

This too always blows my mind, there are some early alk3 videos where he still has hair.

facetofacereunion08 (April 19, 2012)

Love this!

wobbie (April 19, 2012)

This was on my birthday. The day i turned 15. Seems so long ago... :(

palpitations101 (April 19, 2012)

So amazing. And a priceless document in music history.

Great stuff. If anything, this video has taken the edge off of the mythic status this band holds in the ska scene. They were just a bunch of kids playing honest, albeit top shelf 3rd wave ska, and this video is a testament to that.
