On this day in Ska(2Tone)History, The Specials and Madness performed on the same stage for the first time. June 8th, 1979, at the Nashville Club in London. Dammers is so impressed he offers to put out the band's first single on Two Tone Records.

Because of the earlier opening slot with the Specials, Madness nearly misses a show in front of 300 at the Dublin Castle in London, the first of their regular residency. Lee asks Carl to announce Madness, which he does with a speech based on the intro of Prince Buster’s Scorcher and Dave & Ansel Collins’s Monkey Spanner. Rather than leaving the stage afterward, he stays to dance.

Franks & Deans announce Last Shows. They are calling it quits after 10 years. This is one of the craziest things to me, but I’ve enjoyed the 10 years watching this band. Absolutely one of my favorite bands of all time and if you get a chance you need to come out to one of these shows they are always amazing!

Yes, dear friends, you’re reading correctly…
Your pals, Franks & Deans have decided to close up shop. BUT, we’re not done just yet!
We want a few more opportunities to see your smiling faces. So we’ll be playing We**ie Roast each month until the 10th anniversary show in November…

…and believe us, it’s gonna be one for the books!! Lineup for the final show on November 6th coming soon!!
