I'd love to hear live reggae in Seoul, but the international acts focus on Japan where it's popular. I saw some big names in OSaka - Lee Perry, Ken Booth..
Anyway in Seoul there's Kingston Rudie-ska (traditional ska, legit but their limited number of tunes get old fast) and the Reggae Pub - Mr. Kim has a great playlist and is an awesome guy. Go there and buy some drinks. |

Old style? get with the times old man! No one listens to the specials any more. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streetlight_Manifesto |

| The Specials weren't old ska. They were 2tone. Go back 15 or so more years. |

Used to be a Windy City fan until they came down for a show here in Busan.
They are a bunch of poser (expletive for male organs)!
Would definitely not pay to see them as they overcharge, are not worth it, and are too busy trying to show off what huge "stars" they are.
They also have an entourage of violent hip hop wannabe idiots.
Thoroughly disappointing.
Do NOT recommend! |
