- Ska Parade
Ska Parade, also known as SP Radio One, is a
radio show whose goal is to promote up-and-comingska , as well as new music bands. The show was created byTazy Phyllipz andAlbino Brown . It broadcasts in southernCalifornia .The show is perhaps best notable for being ground zero for the Orange County ska revolution of the mid-1990s.
The Ska Parade's first compilation, "Step On It: The Best of The Ska Parade Radio Show", helped catalyze the career of Sublime and helped launch third-wave ska onto the airwaves of many commercial radio stations (ie:
KROQ ,KCXX ,91X , etc). The Ska Parade's second compilation, "Runnin' Naked Thru the Cornfield ", featured exclusive tracks byReel Big Fish ,The Specials ,Save Ferris , andThe Aquabats (whenTravis Barker ofBlink 182 fame was their drummer).The show is still on the air in an updated form as "SP Radio One".
