SAN JOSE, Calif. — Local reunion show for ska band Skattergories was reportedly ruined by all the ska music, confirmed sources who wondered when it was going to finally end.

“As a ska fan, I was mortified by all the ska,” said Vinny Smalls, founder of The Skattergordiots fanclub and one-time street team member for the band. “You have to understand—this band was my life, and for the first song or two, I felt like I was back in a bouncy castle in 1996. I was skanking with the best of them until out of nowhere I started to think about 9/11. I lost my rhythm, experienced vertigo, then nearly passed out. It’s like my body physically rejected all the ska. Anyway, I’m less of a Reel Big Fish guy nowadays and more of a Counting Crows kind of dude now. Maybe I’ve aged out of upstrokes.”
