The U.S.-based version of The English Beat, fronted by Dave Wakeling, will be touring all over the United States in the coming months, with dates announced through early April. The band and its spin off efforts are staples of New Wave and Modern Rock, responsible for a number of 80s hits and a unique blend of ska that has influenced many bands that followed.
Having had a chance to see them myself last year, I’m looking forward to catching them one or more times in 2013.
