MSO team up with superstar Rola for Japanese commercial

It’s a crazy arse, fun-filled world in the key of Ska!
We were recently invited to record the music and partake in a Japanese commercial.
The Bill Murray in all of us wanted to have our own take on Lost in Translation so we scurried up a small team of Skanksters and hit the Nippon shores.
Lots of fun, a full China Town movie set, costume hilarity, the karaoke tilt, the culinary delights, Tokyo Hands, Yoyogi Park, Mt.Fuji, Sake and the cooky arty culture had us hooked.
Thankyou to Jeff Stockwell for a fine send off, the studio crew,the producers and the team.

Bless!

New digital album ‘SATURN RETURN’ out now!

Melbourne Ska Orchestra are thrilled to unleash SATURN RETURN, a full-length album of previously unreleased recordings from the ‘Sierra-Kilo-Alpha’ sessions. The new release is available from the 9th December as a digital download and in a limited edition spaceship USB!

SATURN RETURN expands on the eclectic and international journey which MSO embarked on. Stand out tunes include the beautiful trio of vocals on ‘Feel The Breeze’ the rock steady ‘No Show’, ‘Mercy Lord’, which features the legendary Owen Gray (Jamaica) and the Two Tone style of ‘No Friend Of Mine’, will hit the right note for ska fans.

Nicky Bomba, band leader & SKA-BQ head chef states: “These new tunes could not be released until now due to quarantine issues, scientific research, musical analysis and the now patented Skattertron distillation device that can only process 11 songs at any given time! The Orchestra is thrilled to share these new discoveries and fly the ska flag a little higher following the success of the ARIA and Victorian Music Award winnings for Sierra-Kilo-Alpha.”
