With over 20 years in the Texas music scene, Los Skarnales was started in 1994. The band rose out of the ashes of local punk rock band Desorden with help from original members Felipe Galvan and Jose Rodriguez. Always true to roots music in all forms, Skarnales performs a mixture of ska, reggae, rockabilly, cumbia, and danzones, all with a punk attitude. Never letting down at a live show, the band has performed extensively throughout the United States and Mexico and has shared the stage with such artists as Flaco Jimenez, Ozomatli, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, the Aggrolites, Maldita Vecindad, the Slackers, the Specials, Fishbone, Agent Orange and many more. ​​Lion Heights began in 2013 in the west side of Chicago, IL between friends Dane Foltin (bass/vox), Jeremy Carlson (keys/vox) & James Campbell (guitar). The trio met while studying music at Columbia College; playing in various bands together before deciding to start their own outfit. The group is mainly influenced by the roots music that was pumping out of Jamaica in the 60s and 70s. However, combining aspects of soul and R&B helps them to introduce reggae music to new audiences.​This versatility has created opportunities for Lion Heights to double as a backing band for legendary Jamaican artists such as I-Wayne, Lady G, Sister Nancy and Dawn Penn. They've also provided direct support for acts such as Kabaka Pyramid, Jesse Royal, Pentateuch, Dubtonic Kru, New Kingston, and Lee "Scratch" Perry. Lion Heights relocated to Austin, TX in 2014 and has since been a reoccurring act at venues all throughout the lone star state - bringing a rejuvenating energy to the reggae scene. Born in Austin, TX, with deep roots in Mexico, Los Kurados is central Texas' premiere party ska band. Blending punk beats and cumbia fever dreams, all flavored with upstrokes hailing from a ska style close to the heart of Jamaica, Los Kurados' live performance will get everyone from crusty punk kids, to Selena loving ladies, to business people in for a drink on their feet dancing.
