Cherry Poppin' Daddies @ Ska Fest - "Dr. Bones" (1/12)

PART ONE OF TWELVE
This is the Cherry Poppin' Daddies' "full" live performance at the 2010 Victoria Ska Fest in British Columbia on July 10, 2010, shot by myself. I didn't have access to a proper HD camera, so I resorted to using a cheap camcorder; as I had neglected to think things through, I failed to bring a tripod (or fashion one out of beer cans and shoelaces) and was forced to hold my camera above my head for the duration of the show...thus, jittery video. Hey, at least the sound quality is good. Rip 'em to MP3 and slap it on your Sony Walkman!

Any Daddies show is an event, but a show consisting entirely of their ska and punk material? Now THAT'S worth video documentation. And so, I hiked up from California to bask in the Victoria's ska goodness for the weekend, hoping to catch what would surely be an epic show on tape. Alas, the Daddies were ultimately not to flaunt the whole of their rude roots that night, as a power surge eight songs in resulted in the lead singer receiving an electric shock strong enough to cut the whole set by half. To preemptively answer your question, NO, I DID NOT CATCH THE ELECTROCUTION ON TAPE. The footage was too dark. What WAS caught on tape, however, is still ace material. Check it out.
