Boston Third Wave ska legends Bim Skala Bim hit Shrewsbury with support from Smoke Like a Fish and Rebelation.
BIM SKALA BIM+ Smoke Like a Fish + RebelationSunday 8th November 2026Doors: 15:00£12.50 + Booking Fee
Venue: LOOP, 13A Castle Foregate, Shrewsbury, SY1 2DJ (by Shrewsbury Railway Station).
Bim Skala Bim formed in Boston, MA as a Ska Rock band that was influenced by the bands in England’s 2Tone movement, as well as the Clash, UB40 and Bob Marley.
Bim’s infectious Boston Blue Beat sound led them to be one of the premier bands kick-starting the Third Wave of Ska in the 1980s. More bands quickly followed their example resulting in a lively scene in Boston and much of the United States.
Over the years the band has incorporated secret-agent themes and versioned songs by classic rock acts like Cream, Pink Floyd and Neil Young into their repertoire. And were as likely to dabble in calypso or New Orleans music as ska and reggae!
