~,-~u "'^.,^ ' ''. By PAIGE PARSONS HESE DAYS the kids on New _ f l York's Lower East Side are danc- ing to a new beat. Ska is hot right now in the Big Apple, and I luckily it's getting a big enough reputation to bring itself to Boston. Thursday, the Channel showcased some of the hottest ska Bands from the East Coast, and a rocking, skanking evening it was. Among the featured acts were two local ska ensembles, Bim Ska La Bim and Plate o'Shrimp, who were launching their new record. Joining them were The Toasters, who had travelled up from the big city to show a Boston audience what New York ska was all about. Ska, in various forms, has been around for some 20 years now. It began in Jamai- ca in the early sixties as the local interpre- tation of pop. Ska was characterized by a fervent, very danceable beat. It was re- vived in England during the late seventies by Two-Tone records and groups such as and The (English) Beat.
