Yes they are. I saw them in Amsterdam and in Den Haag(The Hague). Every show a few of them jump into the audience, great!! They always seem to love performing. I wonder when they are coming to the Netherlands to promote their new CD...

I know: Derrick Morgan, Prince Buster, the 2-Tone stuff...but I'm one of those freaks that divide all Ska into waves. It's weird to categorize current American bands with the Jamaican classics.
The Slackers are more 2nd wave in terms of style- mostly traditional with a bit of rock mixed in and a lot of other stuff (like soul, latin, Doo-wop, etc.).
Usually the waves are split into time periods. The Slackers fall into third wave (i.e. 90s), but their style is strictly first wave revival, with heavy influences of American R&B, soul, and rock. Their early stuff was pretty 2-Tone influenced, though.
Yeah I recognize that they are technically 3rd wave, but to me they sound more 2nd. Not strictly 1st wave which would be more like Laural Aitken and Desmond Dekker and early Bob Marley as well as 2 tone, The Slackers mix their ska with a lot of other stuff, which is what makes them great.
Gosh, I love these guys. I saw them last year at the Casbah in San Diego and they were AWESOME, so I'm seeing them again in September @ the House of Blues.
i listend to 3 songs by these guys and already like them! awsome ska band!
