Ska fans, this one’s for you! Shotkickers is turning into a skank pit this November as two of the most exciting ska acts from either side of the border come together for one night of high-energy, horn-fuelled mayhem.

All the way from Adelaide, The Overits bring their rhythm-heavy, roots-inspired ska steeped in the sounds of 1960s Jamaica. With members hailing from across the globe and musical roots ranging from swing to punk, The Overits craft original tunes that blend soulful grooves with stomping, trad ska power. Formed in 2019, just before the pandemic as The Isolators, their name change and evolution from a cover band idea to a fully original ska force has made them one of the most unique acts in the Australian ska scene today.

Sharing the bill are Melbourne’s own Loonee Tunes – Starting in Boronia with high school friends many moons ago, Loonee Tunes are two-tone powerhouse channeling the energy of The Specials, the cheek of Bad Manners, and the soul of Dexy’s Midnight Runners. With sharp suits, sharper riffs, and a rhythm section built for dancing, Loonee Tunes deliver a sound that’s as nostalgic as it is electric. They have played the live music scene here in Melbourne for over 40 years, building a great energy, atmosphere and a great crowd.

Whether you're a long-time rudeboy or just ska-curious, this is a night of brass, bounce, and unity not to miss.
