Veterans from the Southern California Ska craze of the 1990's, members of The Maroons and The Soul Fools got back together to form The Bashments in 2007. The Bashments first came on the scene in Nov. '08 @ the Pitzer College Reggae Festival, in Claremont, Ca.. Since then, The Bashments have shared the stage with Ska and Reggae legends such as The Melodians, Eric "Monty" Morris, and have also had the honor of opening for and backing the rocksteady legend Pat Kelly. They have also shared the stage with contemporary artists such as Eek-A-Mouse, General Smiley (of Michigan and Smiley), Warrior King, Gyptian, Shinehead, and Garth Dennis. The Bashments' first release was the 7" single, "In My Life/Hong Kong Flu" on Mossburg Music- a label known for such international ska/reggae acts such as The Stingers ATX and Contra Coup. You can catch that old reggae groove with The Bashments' next 7" single, "If We Didn't Meet" also on Mossburg Music- featuring none other than the "Queen of Ska" herself- Doreen Shaffer of the Skatalites. The Bashments have now released their long awaited debut album on Mossburg Music featuring tracks from Doreen Shaffer and Mr. T-Bone from Italy!
