50. The Toasters - Part 2 (w/ KMoy)
Take a little ride on Checkered Past to continue the three part exploration of legendary New York Ska institution The Toasters! Rob and Engineer Joey welcome back Ska wunderkind, KMoy to break down the early 90s era of the group. First, Kenny catches the CP/SC crew up on their last year, tell several more tour stories and talks about their evolution as a keyboardist and songwriter. Then, the trio break down the middle era of the Toasters from the back to basics skank of New York Fever to the vegas-style exuberance of Dub 56 to the rock oriented Hard Band For Dead. The episode is capped off with a game of Two Tonne Discography.
KMoy
You might know Kmoy as a member of the Tape Girl band. He was also part of the Songs For Moms compilation covering ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow.’
‘The Precure Album’ is a concept album that touches on many different genres. It’s a ska punk album at its core but to only call it ska punk would be a huge disservice to the story it tells and all of the colors of the music. Kmoy played or programmed almost all of the parts on the album.
The Precure Album also features some vocals from Beth Rivera, the person behind Tape Girl. Beth mastered the album as well.
Fans of Tape Girl, Jeff Rosenstock, The Hippos, Fishbone, The Moody Blues, Streetlight Manifesto, Yes, Queen, Jethro Tull, and Frank Zappa will love Kmoy.
