Ska Nation takes their line-up very seriously; so serious in fact that Dying Scene has been asked to vet each and every band with a round of intense questioning that will determine whether or not they deserve a slot on the bill for the greatest night of ska Victorians will ever see (until next year).
We’re cranking up the heat, rolling up our sleeves and serving up each band the most hard hitting questions they’ve ever been forced to answer. If they answer well they will merit a final stamp of approval. If they answer poorly it’s immediate deportation to the rejected ranks of don’t-quit-your-day-job land.

Who are you and what do you what do you have to offer our party nation?
We are Los Capitanes, we seek asylum from a claustrophobic incest dungeon known as ‘Canberra’. We come to exploit your social welfare system and defraud your public transportation.
Before we approve any application we need to know what your cultural fit would be. What are your top 3 Ska albums of all time and why?
Sublime, Sublime: to smoke to
Less Than Jake, Hello Rockview: to drink to
Skatalites, Ska Authentic: so Francis thinks we’re cool
Where do you currently reside and what makes this place, “the place to be” in your eyes?
Well actually, we reside in a place so uncool that even John Howard refused to live here. We’ve got a shallow man-made lake filled up with algae and dead livestock…I guess that’s pretty gnarly?
Name three things you won’t come into the (Ska) Nation without?
Heroin
Condoms
Sarcasm
If you saw the gent pictured below walking down the street, what would be the first thing to come to your mind?
‘Will Smith sure has gotten pale since he started wearing that pork-pie hat’
(Ska) Nation we take the security of our commodities very seriously. On a scale of 1 to Navy Seal Team 6, just how much of a security risk are you to the Nation’s beer supply?
I don’t care what colour the seals are, stealing The Resignators rider is just par for the course.
Please disclose one piece of information that your mother wouldn’t know about you.
That I got my clitoris pierced. Also, that I have a clitoris.
Who do you most want to see when you enter (Ska) Nation?
Bosma, so that I may fellate him.
Are there any other things you’d like us to consider when processing your application?
We wont steal anyone’s job because we flat out refuse to work.
Fuck! Their from Canberra. They’ve been through enough. Dying Scene hereby declares…
