The Klaxon will be bringing their Latin take on ska and reggae sounds all the way from Bogota, Colombia.

With ten years of experience The Klaxon, has been nominated for best ska band in the Shock awards, has been participated in three editions of Festival Rock al Parque (2001, 2002 and 2009) the Rastazo (2002 and 2008) and in different ska- reggae festivals throughout the country, sharing the stage with bands like King Chango, Los Condones, Timmy O 'Toole, Dr. Krapula, La Severa Matacera and Nawal. The Klaxon has participated in 2 CD compilations: "El que la hace la grita" with Sony Music in Mexico, "Latin America United Skabox 1 and 2" under the label Viuda Negra Music.

Joining them will be The Afterbeat from Winnipeg who have a very upbeat pop/punk feel to their brand of ska. The Afterbeat are no strangers to the Victoria Ska Fest playing in 200Nanaimo's own Bananafish Dance Orchestra will be fusing different genres and elements of sound.
