All English ex-pat New Yorkers come hither! Checkered Past is digging in to the history of ground-breaking East Coast Ska band, The Toasters! For Part 1, Rob and Celine welcome returning guest, KMoy (Precure Album and Catbite). They catch up with Kenny on his tours, how life has changed since his last appearance and the magic of twitter. Then, the trio dig in on The Toasters 80's years from their humble beginnings in a New York comic store to their connection with Joe Jackson to the start of Moon Ska thanks to the folding of Celluloid Records. Come on EVERYONE to this East Side Beat!
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.
