A bit like Picasso if he played SKA...

BEEATCH!! Frankie Foo and the Yo-Yo Smugglers have been in action for over 30 years, however have only recently coalesced into their current state, as of 2000. Its all about the Ess-Kay-Eh stretching from the Jamaican roots of the Skatalites to the Two-Tone revolution and on to Fishbone and the 3rd wave. Ya, we freakin' play a lot of covers, however, we've got a smattering of originals here for your listening pleasure.
