Yes, you are right. It is a typical trait of human mankind to start off clubs to socialize and join in on doing such useful things as smoking cigars, read the newspaper or mow the lawn together. You never know...
But a great club for sure is France's finest TWO TONE CLUB. Founded in 1999 by former members of the GANGSTERS ALL STARS, the club is rooted in Ska and Reggae with a driving beat and since then unstoppable in their mission for Jamaican music. Numerous shows by these nine sympathetic guys followed, all over France and in the neighbouring European countries.
The Two Tone Club knows how to capture their audience with a melange of traditional Ska, e.g. like being played by The SKATALITES or LAUREL AITKEN and later influences as THE SPECIALS, THE SELECTER or THE BEAT. No wonder, that they've shared the stage with some of these legendary bands since then.
