My friends have been doing a radio show at UVIC for the last 5 years or so, Skanksters Paradise, evry Saturday afternoon.
Obviously, its a Ska show, but anyway if you like Ska you can tune in to it over the internet, the station ID is CFUV.
Also, they promote a lot of shows locally around Victoria, and one huge Ska festival each summer. This summer will be the festivals 5th year. It started as a tribute for the original Skanksters Paradise host, my best friend, who died while we were rock climbing.
Anyway, I left Victoria after the accident and now I just listen from afar. They‘ve had some really big acts come through though, and the festival is getting much larger every year. What started out as just an afternoon in some park has turned into a full weekend of partying and multiple venues showing multiple acts. If Ska is your thing, and you‘ve ever wanted to get out to the west coast, I‘d recommend checking it out.
Anyway, Scarlino have you ever heard of No Means No? They‘re a punk band from Victoria thats found a lot of success here in Canada but moreso over in Europe. They are hands down the best live show I‘ve ever been to. They‘re like 50 year old punk rockers, who really rock out. They have a secondary act known as The Hanson Brothers, where they get dressed up in hockey gear and play some punk style hockey songs, its awesome.
