the Tokyo band is a bunch of corporate dickheads with majors from colleges! they remind me fo the mickey mouse club and mephiskapheles is just pure raw talent!
i dont know if tokyo ska paradise is better, but, mephiskapheles was one of the best ska bands in teh 90s... i remember, taht when i had my first ska band, this song was one that we tried to play... obviously... it cant sounded like that... i dont know that this band had 2 brases and 2 woodwinds... the first disc only had 3 of them... i think that this is an old video.... thats cool!
@wompasdub no my friend you think that because they speak your language, but to me tspo is a more traditional ska (two tone) this band is good but does not have comparison, just compare the tspo fans to this band, any way i dont think there can be a compare them since thay have different rhythms acording to their hemispheric location.
@tito720 actually, tspo formed 1988, and two years later mephiskapheles formed. i'm glad you corrected me. either way, only one band was on the legendary moon ska records.
This has always been my favorite Mephiskapheles song for a number of reasons, but mostly for the beautiful chord progression and horn line. Genius stuff.
i just listened to a few of their songs, i had never heard of them before i read your comment. that is some god awful fucking bullshit, seriously. ten thumbs way down.
This is so fucking awesome it hurts. This mob were my favourite band for such a long time but I never got to see them as I live on the other side of the world.
There are only 2 people on brass, and 2 on woodwind. I agree that there is'nt anything like this anymore. What a shame, but I guess thats what makes it special. Did you ever see them?

@congajack Actually tspo started in the mid 80s and Mephiskapheles in 1990 or so.

@tito720 i guess i never gave two shits about tspo to even notive they existed since there much better bands on moon records to listen to. my bad.

How long ago was this filmed? Last time we saw them play, they were stumbling around and barely coherent. It was sad. :(
Haven't heard anything from them in years. What are they up to now?
