"Friends of the 'Bones - Dunedin 7 piece ska band! The ’Bones are a seven piece ska band named after the jazz-slang term for ‘Trombone’. The ’Bones formed in late 2003. Originally the ’Bones starting out playing covers from popular third-wave ska bands such as Mad Caddies, Reel Big Fish and the Aquabats. The band has since written original material and now has a full repertoire of covers and originals, with influences of a variety of styles including Ska, Jazz, Latin and Rock. The philosophy of the band is simple; get people dancing and having fun. Dressed in suits, the ’Bones present themselves as a professional (but not too professional) outfit on stage. The music is high energy with a nerdish sense of humour, and audience participation is encouraged. The ’Bones have accomplished much in the last three years, winning the 2006 OUSA Battle of the Bands after coming runners-up the year before. They have played support for many well established New Zealand bands, including The Managers, The Offbeats, The WBC and Kora. Their following is continually expanding in and outside of Dunedin.
