Skatonics / Blondee

Legendary Kent SKA band, THE SKATONICS, come to C2 to unleash their classic Ska sounds.
They have been playing to enthusiastic crowds across the South of England since Spring 2007 and are rapidly becoming one of the best Ska bands in the UK, wowing audiences with their unique style.
The Evening Standard said of their recent gig at the famous London venue, the Hope and Anchor, “A raucous, rollicking, heavy heavy monster of a gig.”
The Skatonics unique selling point is their energy. You will have seen nothing like it! And not just the band, no Skatonics audience can keep still for dancing to the rocksteady beat!
They blend classic Trojan ska alongside an impressive catalogue of Two Tone covers from the likes of The Specials, Madness, Bad Manners and many more.
The band’s 2 ½ hour shows have included support slots for Ska originals Neville Staple of The Specials, Rhoda Dhakar of The Bodysnatchers and Skaville UK . Last summer they were headlining band at the Gazastock Party In The Field music festival where they played to a sell-out crowd for the second year running. Extra security was drafted in to cope with the excitement.

If you are looking for a Blondie tribute band that does exactly what it says on the tin, look no further than ' BLONDEE' , a 6-piece that play and perform like the real thing. Whether it's the pure pop of Atomic or Sunday Girl, the reggae-influenced ‘The Tide is High', the disco-beat of Heart of Glass or one of the bands early punk tunes like X-Offender, Blondee are authentic, dynamic and lots of fun too! No other Blondie tribute can offer this degree of "sound a like" as well as "look a like", so much so that Blondie founder member Jimmi Destri emailed via Myspace to say how impressed he was with the band!
Blondee is fronted by the charismatic Dee, who eerily reproduces Debbie Harry's vocals and ‘don't mess with me' attitude. Strutting around the stage in some of Debbie's trashiest, sexiest outfits, Dee provides the perfect focal point for the band on-stage. As the only tribute band to incorporate the full Blondie line up of two guitars, bass, drums and keyboards, the Blondee sound is guaranteed to get any venue rocking.
