Okay what’s been happening in the SWAGGA camp? Well this week we filmed the video for our contribution to SPECIALIZED 2 album BEAT CANCER. We did a version of THE BEAT’s song JACKPOT and as usual we gave it the SWAGGA treatment & have hopefully done the track justice. So we were excited this week to film our first proper video which we did in London in a South London boozer (Lukey in a boozer @ 11am? I hear you say) Don’t worry he was on his best behaviour. Now the various members of SWAGGA are used to performing but it’s quite weird miming to your own music in the morning in front of strangers, but our director top...

Well, what a blast we’ve had recently! During October, our involvement with the Specialized album culminated with a gig at the superb weekender in lovely Dorset. Who would have thought that great music and copious amounts of alcohol could actually raise thousands of pounds for charity? Beats running a marathon, that’s for sure! Big respect to Demelza’s Tea Party, a superb band, in terms of both their music and their tolerance for late night boozing. A big shout out to all the wicked people who we met and supported us out there, especially the nutters who stage invaded our set near the end! Stage invasion alert! And while you’re here, why not buy the album that spawned the monster weekender...

Following our involvement on the SPECIALIZED album the fantastic album featuring modern day bands doing their take on classic SPECIALS songs all in aid of THE TEENAGE CANCER TRUST SWAGGA have continued their involvement with 2 fabulous gigs in London Town. The first of these was @ The Blues Kitchen along with King Hammond, Demelzas Tea Party and other great bands. THE SPECIAL’s drummer John Bradbury made an appearance as did RHODA DAKAR. SWAGGA closed the show and finished their blistering set with their badass version of STUPID MARRIAGE which featured a guest appearance from Darren Fordham from Lee Thompson’s Ska Orchestra. A good time was had by all and lots of lolly was raised. The 2nd gig was @...

SWAGGA had a great mention in ‘Scootering Magazine’ on their version of STUPID MARRIAGE describing it as ‘the modern Ska sound of SWAGGA’ giving 2012 lyrics to a 1980s song.

Our newest member, SHORTY joined the SWAGGA ranks for our most recent gig, lifting the vocals to new heights.  What a fantastic start to what will surely be an incredible journey.

Our friends THE SPECIALS contacted us via FACEBOOK to say they were putting together an album.  The long awaited date for the Album launch is February 22nd at The Blues Kitchen, Camden Town. SWAGGA  have been asked to play along with THE CRAVEN BRAVES, THE DUSTAPHONICS and wait for it LEE THOMPSON’s SKA ORCHESTRA that contains 2 members of MADNESS. Whoop Whoop. Should be a great gig.Look forward to seeing you all there!
