In the rhytm of Ska-P

SI SEÑOR !
Yes , it’s true , I’ve been having 2 days break from WoW to attend something I’ve been looking forward to since I bought tickets in October. I’m talking about Ska-P concert in Prague February the 10th. For those who have no clue what Ska-P is let me introduce it to you a bit. It’s a spanish ska-punk band. But what speaks better about band than their music and lyrics ? So I won’t bother you further explaining ,I recommend you to go , listen and translate :D

The journey begins
Me , my Brother and 2 of our friends went to the concert. We went from Trencin to Puchov and then to Prague by train. It was long and boring 6 hours ride. We arrived at 17:00 with hours left to the begining. We bought something to eat ,checked trams and set off to Tesla arena where the concert was hold in. It was supposed to be in a lesser building but the organizers didnt realize that after reunion of disbanded Ska-P a large number of fans would want to see them performing again. The gates of ice-hockey stadium opened at 19:00 and around 19:30 Prague Ska Conspiracy started their show followed by Fast Food Orchestra. Then we had to wait and at ~21:00 when Ska – P got on the stage . I thought they would play mostly songs from their new album . I was wrong . They started with El Gato Lopez , followed by Nino Soldado . They played only like 3 or 4 of their new songs. The rest were the most famous ones from Incontrolable album. Organizers estimate that more than 9000 tickets were sold. They could be right , the hall was full . Damn , how my legs and throat hurt. But it was totally worth it . I love their songs . I love the combination of ska and punk. It makes you smile , it makes you jump and enjoy it. It’s such energic music full of life that cant let anyone just stand and watch. I liked it even when I didnt understand the lyrics when I first heard them on Pohoda fest some years ago because I cant speak spanish ^______^. So I browsed the internet a bit and found out that they were singing about freedom , antifascists , anti – racists , and against war and I loved them even more :D
Viva la revolucion !
Hasta la Victoria Siempre !

Not sure yet when it will be but it will be there! Problem is that I want to make it a really nice entry and not just the "every-day" blog which means it takes a lot of time to write - Atm I am not in the mood to write a lot of stuff. :P It will be there! I won't let you down!

No konecne, skacko je parada, kazdy leto, vypiname trance a pop, jedeme na chatu a poslouchame jen to u ohne a burtu. Mp3ky jsou k nicemu, zivace jsou parada. (In Czech, just for Dagmara .. xD)

Ska-P, the best music to cure a wipe-fest. Not really the case in Wotlk but in Swp it hit the spot (the dread of M'uru)
Envy you for going, seems like a super cool concert.
