As we all know, there's nothing quite as fulfilling as being old enough to drink, and now Skinnerbox has crossed that threshold collectively as a band. To congratulate them and help them toss
back a few, Knitting Factory Brooklyn and New Jersey's finest ska label, Version City, is presenting their 21st Anniversary Show on Saturday, April 3rd, 2010.

The show is Skinnerbox's first concert since 1998, and will be supported by the Scofflaws, Eastern Standard Time, the Forthrights, the Hard Times, plus late night Version City All-Stars Jam Session.

Skinnerbox (sometimes Skinnerbox NYC) was founded in the late '80s by scene veteran Jeff "King Django" Baker, who had previously played with the Boilers, the Slackers, the Skadanks, and hardcore band Murphy's Law. Handling the songwriting, vocals, and trombone, Baker put together a band capable of leaping from song to song between R&B, punk, jazz, and pop variations on the ska sound.
