SUMMARY:The Toasters
LOCATION:Coventry Just Dropped In
DESCRIPTION:Plus Special Guests: Lobster - New York City’s pioneering SK
 A band The Toasters are going strong 45 years later\, with a series of tou
 rs spanning North America to Europe in 2026. They are set to bring their s
 ound to various cities as part of their 45 Years in SKA Tour\, delivering 
 the high-energy\, brass-driven sound that has made them legends of the gen
 re. “When the world gets turned upside down\, when loyalties realign\, w
 hen everyone expects conformity: Don’t let the bastards grind you down. 
 The Toasters\, New York City’s seminal ska band\, have lived by this max
 im since their founding in 1981 by sole constant Robert “Bucket” Hingl
 ey – even if those words waited until 1997 to appear (in the classic bas
 tardized Latin) on a Toasters album of the same name.Formed in an older\, 
 grittier NYC\, The Toasters lit the fuse on the American ska explosion —
  the U.S. crest of ska’s second\, U.K.-bred wave\, following the genre
 ’s birth a generation earlier in Jamaica. At the center of it all was Bu
 cket\, a British expatriate working at the Forbidden Planet comic bookstor
 e who simply missed the 2 Tone ska sounds of his homeland. With little sce
 ne to speak of\, he did what any self-respecting rude boy would do — he 
 started his own band and he hasn’t stopped\, wave or no wave.“Whether 
 or not the mainstream media is paying attention to the genre is no real ba
 rometer about how well it’s doing\,” Bucket tells Pure Honey. “And t
 his ‘wave’ theory of ska is just a nuisance because it’s just one wa
 ve that started in 1955\, depending on who you listen to\, right?”The To
 asters’ early days were pure DIY hustle. Unable to find a label interest
 ed in their supercollider of ska\, punk\, reggae and New Wave\, Bucket fou
 nded Moon Ska Records in 1983. Moon Ska would go on to become the Toasters
 ’ home and the epicenter of ska in the U.S.\, launching dozens of bands.
  The label folded in 2000 but The Toasters have racked up over 6\,000 live
  shows as new recordings became distant images in the rearview.Bucket sees
  more value in touring\, the part he considers the most fun. “You have t
 o be a little bit crazy\, I suppose\, but that works because I’m crazy a
 s shit. I prefer to buy air tickets and go around the world and play shows
 \,” he says. “That’s a much better delivery of the product right now
