OC’S TAZY PHYLLIPZ BRINGS SKA TO THE 2010 VANS WARPED TOUR! 
In celebration of the history and impact ska has had on music culture since its humble beginnings in Jamaica – Tazy Phyllipz, along with his brother Albino Brown, have organized an all star ska reunion tour. Partnering with the Vans Warped Tour they will host 6 hours of ska on the Kia Kevin Says’ Stage at four of the CA Warped Tour dates!
The tour coincides with the brother’s 20 year anniversary of their infamous radio show “The Ska Parade”, which is credited with helping to launch the careers of Sublime, No Doubt, and 3rd Wave ska! Tazy and Albino will also be promoting their forthcoming book “The Ska Skrapbook”, which is the follow up to “The Reggae Scrapbook” (*written by Bob Marley’s chief historian, Roger Steffens).
During each show, each band will be performing 1-2 songs of historical importance to the development of ska [e.g., 1964 Millie Small's "My Boy Lollipop" (the first international ska hit); 1979 "2 Tone" ska sound e.g. The Specials' "Gangsters"; Operation Ivy's "Sound System," etc.)].
