THE TOASTERS IN CONCERT:

Ska masters The Toasters have stuck to their guns over the past three decades with a supercharged, punk-infused third wave style that always makes for a rowdy show. Their upbeat concerts are a total party, inciting serious skanking among fans with swinging basslines, bouncy rhythms, and a rambunctious horn section. Leading the fun-loving madness is frontman Robert "Bucket" Hingley, who lays down tasty guitar licks and belts the melodious refrains of lighthearted favorites like "2-Tone Army," "East Side Beat," and "Don't Let the Bastards Grind You Down" with infectious verve. The Toasters give ticket buyers all the rollicking ska they can handle, delivering non-stop, fast-paced sets fueled on pure, unadulterated adrenaline.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

After relocating to New York in 1980, Englishman Robert "Bucket" Hingley (guitar/vocals) saw British 2 Tone pioneers The Beat perform and immediately began assembling his own ska band, The Toasters. Their wild early shows – including their live debut opening for legendary reggae/hardcore act The Bad Brains – won them a dedicated following before they released their 1983 EP Beat Up. They made their full-length debut in 1987 with Skaboom, an acclaimed effort that helped the band become an integral part of the third wave ska movement. The group found commercial success in the '90s when they wrote the theme song for the cartoon variety show KaBlam! and licensed their music for America Online and Coca-Cola commercials. Hingley then founded the Megalith record label in 2002 to distribute records by The Toasters, including Enemy of the System (2002) and One More Bullet (2007). The Toasters turned 30 in 2011 and embarked on an extensive tour to celebrate the momentous milestone. Though the lineup has changed over the years, they continue to proudly carry the banner of third wave ska every time they kick out their amped-up tunes in concert.

  • Fun chill and mosh!!

    by FLynne on 4/16/24Revolution Live - Ft LauderdaleRating: 5 out of 5

    This was such a fun band!! The crowd was chill, even if you wanted to get into the Mosh pit!! Good times 🙌😍🎶

  • The Toasters rocked!

    by Xenaphile on 11/5/12The Local 662 - St PetersburgRating: 5 out of 5

    The Toasters were amazing live. I had so much fun at this concert! The tickets were too expensive though. They were cheaper at the door than buying them online. I wish they would have been less expensive, but overall the show was absolutely incredible.

  • The Toasters were great, Frankies....not so much.

    by Luminouswrath on 2/19/12Frankies - ToledoRating: 3 out of 5

    My party and i drove 5 hours to go see the toasters(big fans), we get to Frankie's and the attitude of the door guy is awesome,laughing and joking around, everything was fine until our DD went to get a plastic Dixie cup of water and the snotty female bartender tried to charge her 3.00 dollars. the concert was unforgettable,but the bar was hardly mentionable.

  • Awesome!!

    I had an amazing time. I loved all the costumes and everyone had so much energy and fun. The dance floor was moving under our feet. Ska always makes for a good time.

  • Pietasters were amazing

    by Skavoovie on 10/26/10Masquerade - AtlantaRating: 4 out of 5

    In a nutshell: The first two bands were okay. Not bad but not particularly memorable. The Pietasters alone were worth the price of admission. They absolutely burned it down. Amazing set, amazing energy, quite possibly the most fun I've had at a show. The Toasters were a disappointment compared to when I've seen them before. Low energy, short set, 1 song encore. It's almost like Buck was disappointed that there weren't a ton of people there, but when you schedule a ska show on a Sunday and then start an hour and a half late, what do you expect? I'm giving this show 4 stars based solely on the performance of the Pietasters.
