Bim Skala Bim return to the Crystal Ballroom for their vinyl release party! Bim Skala Bim formed in Boston, MA as a Ska Rock band that was influenced by the bands in England's 2 Tone movement, as well as the music of the Clash, UB40 and Bob Marley. Bim's infectious Boston Blue Beat sound led them to be one of the premier bands kick-starting the Third Wave of Ska in the 1980s. Other bands quickly followed their example resulting in a lively scene in Boston and much of the United States.
