Pilfers

A band on the Mojo Records label formed in 1997. I really don't know if you can get much cooler than this band. They are a blend of ska, reggae, hardcore, dancehall, jungle, punk, and more. I don't think they like to be labeled. Their album Chawalaleng is incredible. The members of the band have been around the ska scene for some time. Coolie used to be with the Toasters, Vinny with Bim Skala Bim, Nick with the Erratics, and Anna and James with Skinnerbox. They have opened for Bad Brains, the Specials, Madness, and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones.

Members: James Blanck - drums; Vinny Nobile - trompone, vocals; Anna Milat-Meyer - bass; Coolie Ranx - vocals; and Nick Bacon - guitar.

Albums:
