It’s been a heckuva long time since we last heard Washington state ska-punks Los Ocupados. In Nov 2021 they dropped a cover of “Espionage”, originally performed by Utah ska act GOGO13, as their debut release. Now we get a proper new single in their new song “A Better Way”. Definitely worth the wait! The track is available now via Ska Punk International.
They’ve also got a string of dates lined up over the coming months, including the Ska Punk International Fest this weekend. Listen below and, underneath, find info on those gigs. Swing by this link page for a whole bunch of Los Ocupados linkage.
03/11/23 SPI Fest, Austin TX
03/17/23 The Plaid Pig with Street Jail, Dead Bars and The Cutwinkles
04/29/23 Cryptatropa Bar with Terror Cactus and Biblioteka
05/26/23 The Charleston with Skablins and The Fun Police
