The Dance Hall Crashers, a notable band from the punk and ska scene, are reuniting largely because of their children, who never witnessed their parents' performances. Logan Hammon talks about the group's ten-year dream of performing together. The band was formed in the late '80s at the iconic 924 Gilman venue, part of a lineage connecting with punk figures like Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman. The revitalized lineup features powerful frontwomen that set them apart in a male-dominated genre, and their unique sound blends punk, pop, and ska, making a memorable mark.
"We've been joking about it for like 10 years: 'Wouldn't it be cool if Dance Hall Crashers got back together and we got to play with you guys?' So yeah, this is the coolest thing that could have ever happened."
"I was already a rude girl at age 12, because there's such a big Caribbean and West Indian community [in England], so much reggae and ska influence."
