Magadog, Tampa Bays very own Ska Band formed in 1992 as part of the Third Wave with influences such as The Specials, and The Toasters graced my studio this past Thursday night for a photo-shoot.
I’ve had the privileged of seeing Magadog perform live 3 times now. I first met Magadog at Skipper’s Smoke house in 2007. I’ve been a fan of Punk Rock all my life so Ska being a form of post-punk-influenced-something-or-another I found them more enjoyable than Rancid. Magadog is the kind of band that makes you want to dance… and I don’t dance.
The second and third time I saw these guys was at the Dunedin Brewery. Which has awesome beer btw that’s left me stumbling around downtown Dunedin. The brewery gets jam packed with people from all walks of life and Magadog is right there in everyone’s face the whole atmosphere is a meld of music, dance, and beer.
I hung out with Magadog after the shoot at New World Brewery. 
This was my first time being at New World Brewery, it’s a quaint bar with Foosball tables. Sadly, I didn’t get to play any Foosball but I did have some great beer and conversation. Not to mention a few bar regulars I found entertaining to listen to/look at.
Magadog’s next album “Ybor City” is currently in the works. I have not yet heard when it will be released but I have heard a few snippets of the songs to be included and I have to admit I’m excited for them. Magadog’s music is deffinately maturing without compromise. Yes, there’s a bear-skin rug in my studio and David (resembling very much like a snooping cat) found it.
