Kinecta Presents Too Rude and The Untouchables with Special Blend

Too Rude: Too Rude’s roots are Punk Rock and Reggae music. One word to describe it is…original. Not to be pigeonholed as just a Reggae band or just a Punk band, the hybrid equates to just great songs. Located in Southern California’s Southbay, birthplace of such bands as Black Flag, Decendents, and Pennywise, Too Rude’s founding members Dogboy and Lazy Dread rank legendary status in the Southbay as Hermosa Beaches first Punk Rockers to play Reggae music and the first to mix the two with The Mighty Rhythm Trak. They were to the Southbay much like Sublime was to Long Beach on an underground level. Missing Punk Rock to balance themselves musically, Dogboy and Lazy Dread started War Called Peace, a legendary Southbay Punk band as a side project to The Mighty Rhythm Trak. Dogboy also worked with the Kottonmouth Kings on their first three albums as a featured artists writing such hits as “Dog’s Life” and “On the Run” to name a few. During that time Dogboy recorded the first Too Rude CD (self titled) for Suburban Noize Records (Kottonmouth Kings label). Starting out as a solo project, the record reflected his roots in Rhythm Trak. The band consisted of a traditional Reggae line up, featuring a horn section and keyboards as well as guitar, bass and drums. Currently Too Rude has recorded its second full length CD, “Reinvention”. Reinventing the line up Dogboy and Lazy Dread added Flan on guitar, a highly respected LA studio musician and Dub mad scientist. Fatal on guitar and vocals, founding member of the Southbays first Ska-Core band, Out of Order.

The Untouchables: The Untouchables are a soul/mod revival band from Silver Lake/LA, CA that was formed in 1981 and inspired by the ska revival/punk rock band, The Boxboys. Described by original lead singer, Kevin Long as "mods who played ska music," The Untouchables are credited with being America's first ska band. After a shaky start playing at parties, the integrated septet eventually started playing bigger and better gigs at some of the best clubs in LA including the Roxy Theatre. In early 1984, they were signed to Stiff Records and did concerts with The B-52's, Black Uhuru, Bow Wow Wow, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Fishbone, No Doubt and X all over California, which gave the group a disparate following of whites, blacks, mods, punks, surfers and rockabilly fans, with the local performances drawing up to 1,500 people. The band also appeared in the 1984 film Surf II, performing "Dance Beat," and 1987's No Man's Land, performing "What's Gone Wrong". In 1984 the band recorded "Free Yourself," which became very popular, especially in the United Kingdom. The band has gone through many personnel changes, and as of 2006, only vocalist Jerry Miller remains from the original lineup. Kevin t. Williams joined the group 3 years ago.The current line-up includes Doug Sanborn-drums / Mark London Simms- bass / Moises Casillas– guitar
