Event Description

Tickets for this show are only available in advance as a double ticket package with the Aggrolites concert. You can also get an advance ticket via purchase of a full festival pass. Full festival passes will be exclusively available in Victoria BC at The Reef Restaurant (533 Yates Street or through paypal. Full festival passes on sale May 14, 2010. Tickets will be available at the door for the Los Kung Fu Monkeys/Resignators show if not sold out in advance.

Since the summer of 2004 the makings of the show you see here have been in the works. It wasn't until the spring of 2008 at Festival Extremo in Guadalajara, Mexico (on tour with Los Furios) where direct contact was made with Los Kung Fu Monkeys. The horn player was near one of the backstage performer portables playing "Boys Don't Cry" when Dane from Victoria BC Ska Society went up to him and said, "Hey! Aren't you in Los Kung Fu Monkeys? If so I'm the dude that has been speaking to you for 4 years on myspace!" The horn player replied, "I am indeed. You're the myspace guy!"

So now finally Los Kung Fu Monkeys will be doing a one-off fly in specially for Victoria's 11th Annual Ska Festival.

They'll be joined by Melbourne, Australia's (Stomp Records Artists) THE RESIGNATORS. The band will be making an even longer trip all the way from down under to come. Big ups to Francis (lead singer of the group) for making the trip just to party at the festival regardless.
