In Oregon, Skamatiks have played such clubs as Tommy John’s, Ash
St Saloon, Key Largo (now Ohm), Lenora’s Ghost as well as many
all-ages venues.
The six-piece band from Salem Oregon plays ska music in general, but
you can also find them rocking out and getting the house swinging! They
also perform cover songs of almost any nature.
Just ask!
Skamatiks
released their first CD under Ionic Records in November of 1999.
Sending messages of hope and love through ska music was their goal then....and
