The SKABHANGERS

  • The Post Office Hotel 229-231 Sydney Rd Coburg, VIC, 3058 Australia (map)

The SKABHANGERS are coming back to the Post Office Hotel for a two set show on Friday October 13! 

Taking inspiration from the sound of 1960s Jamaican ska and early rocksteady, the SKABHANGERS are gaining a reputation for their dynamic live shows. 2022 saw the band perform at the Jamaican Music & Food Festival and take home 2nd prize in PBS FM’s February Performer Drive! Their self-produced and self-written debut album, recorded in a back-shed home studio in Reservoir and released in January 2023, contains cheeky lyrics on modern life in Naarm/Melbourne, with burning instrumentals and improvised solos.

The Skabhangers will feature Luke Drohan (keys and vocals), Jason D’Monte (guitar), Jack Doherty-Brown (trombone), Thomas Coleman-Bell (tenor sax), George Borthwick (bass) and Paschal Lee (drums).

The performers wish to acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Owners of the land this show takes place on, and pay respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. We also wish to acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded.
