Description

Interskalactic's incredible spirit and live energy combined with top class musicianship is delighting audiences in clubs and festivals all over Ireland, keeping them dancing and whooping from the first beat to the last note of their set, and always calling for more. Their modern big band take on 60's Jamaican ska is making its mark on the Irish music scene, as can be seen here, with their cover of "Simmer Down", the classic 1963 track from a young Bob Marley with The Wailing Wailers feat. Skatalites. Performed on their main stage set at Body & Soul festival, June 2014.
