Did You Hear: The Allniters

What would people remember you for (and when)? The first ska band in Australia from the second wave of ska music... Many hit records… The biggest Montego Bay top 10.

What caused the split? Musical differences and too much touring.

What inspired the reformation? The launch of our documentary A Rude Awakening.

Is it a one-off, permanent, or see-how-it-goes? We are old… who knows, we may drop dead.

Who’s back in the fold? Seven original members and other members from different line-ups/incarnations.

How does the live scene now compare to your heyday? There is no comparison… The music scene is shithouse now. We used to be able to play seven days/nights a week in the ‘80s.
