The DekkerTones at the Water Rats
The Water Rats, WC1X 8BZ , [Venue Details]There’s a sound that runs from Kingston to Coventry to every sweaty back-room gig that ever mattered. Off-beat guitar, walking bass, horns that punch and weave, voices that carry the whole thing. The DekkerTones know that sound inside out.
The DekkerTones land at The Water Rats with a setlist that runs the full ska bloodline: the Jamaican originators, the 2 Tone insurgents, the Trojan classics that built the whole thing. Expect Dekker, Cadogan, Toots; expect Madness, The Specials, Selecter, Beat; expect the kind of brass-led, off-beat-driven set that doesn’t let up.
Eight musicians, deep in the tradition, bringing the Trojan songbook and the 2 Tone canon to The Water Rats. This is the music of rude boys and rude girls, of Two Tone and Saturday-night dances, of bands who understood how to pack a dancefloor.
Played by people who love it, for people who love it. No filler, no fuss, no apologies. Just ska, the way it’s meant to sound.
