For every article about some rich as***le actor who wants to save us from the other rich as***le Twitter owner... I look up the actor and block them.

As***le therapy.

Cancelled. So sad. 🥺🥺

With absolutely crushed sprits, we must inform all of you that our big return show at Urban Farm Fermentory with our friends Barbicidehas been cancelled. due to circumstances beyond their control Urban Farm Fermentory cannot host us and we are left without an alternative venue on such short notice. I BEG YOU - PLEASE TRUST that everyone involved with this show ABSOLUTELY WANTED THIS THING TO HAPPEN. But unfortunately, there are other forces at work in the city of Portland that will continue to threaten Live Music for the foreseeable future. This show is but a casualty of a brewing conflict.

now, as for our personal statement - we're fu***ng bummed. for real. if you are upset, trust that we are FIVE-HUNDRED AND FIVE times more upset. Really, genuinely fu***ng dejected about the whole thing. Trust that we will work hard to find another time to return to the stage with each other, with Barbicide and with all of you. f**k man. it was gonna be so awesome. we will find another chance. As soon as we can. I promise

We want to thank all of you for everything. This is the longest the world has gone without a Sonic Libido show since we were doing matinees at the public library! I beg for and appreciate your patience! When it does happen, it will be a moment. we'll see you there

Today, the band shares their new track “The Final Parade.” The track heralds the ups and downs of the band’s journey, the history of ska, and features vocal cameos and guest appearances from many ska-punk luminaries. At nearly 8-mintues, the track has been referred as “The Ska Summit” by Tim Armstrong, who co-produced the track with fellow Grammy award winner Ted Hutt. “It’s a love letter to Ska music and the people that make Ska music and it’s a whole lot of fun,” says vocalist Dicky Barrett.

The features on the track include Tim Armstrong (Rancid), Aimee Interrupter & The Interrupters, Stranger Cole, Angelo Moore (Fishbone), Jake Burns (Stiff Little Fingers), Jay Navarro (Su***de Machines), Chris DeMakes, Pete Wesilewski, Roger Lima (Less Than Jake), Jimmy G (Murphy’s Law), Toby Morse, Rusty Pistachio (H2O), John Feldman (Goldfinger), Laila Khan (Sonic Boom Six), Robert Hingley (Toasters), Dan Vitale (Bim Skala Bim), Dave McWane (Big D and The Kids Table), Sirae Richardson, Erin Mackenzie, Brie McWane (The Doped Up Dollys), Jesse Wagner (Aggrolites), Karina Denike (The Dance Hall Crashers), Christian Jaccobs (The Aquabats), Jon Pebsworth (Buck O Nine), Peter Porker (The Porkers), Steve Jackson (The Pietasters), Felipe Galvan (Los Skanarles), Jet Baker (Buster Shuffle), Fumio Ito (Kemuri), Glen "The Kid" Marhevka (Big Bad Voodoo Daddy), and Roddy Radiation (The Specials).

The Man who popularized the word reggae.
Without him, your music would've sucked. He was the absolute greatest performer for a man of his age that I'd ever seen.

It is with the heaviest of hearts to announce that Frederick Nathaniel "T***s" Hibbert passed away peacefully tonight, surrounded by his family at the University Hospital of the West Indies in Kingston, Jamaica.

The family and his management team would like to thank the medical teams and professionals for their care and diligence, and ask that you respect their privacy during their time of grief.

Mr. Hibbert is survived by his wife of 39 years, Miss D, and his seven of eight children.

Oh no!

International reggae star T***s Hibbert is in intensive care at a private medical facility in the Corporate Area after he developed "breathing problems" over the weekend.
