This week we are joined by Eitan Avineri from Western Standard Time Ska Orchestra. Eitan tells us how he got into ska music and started playing the trumpet. We also learn how WSTSO got their start and how their latest EP came to be. We discuss the Los Angeles ska scene and ska in the mainstream music scene. Lastly, we give you ska news and our ska picks of the week.
