In April of this year, Hellcat and Smelvis Records teamed up to produce the Dale La Bota compilation.
… a compilation showcasing the massive Latino Ska/Punk scene that is centered in the streets of Los Angeles. In the tradition of the globally successful Give Em The Boot Compilation, “Dale La Bota” (meaning Give Em The Boot in Spanish) brings to light a scene that is large by any standards that is growing onto other states and internationally. Having over 20 unreleased songs both in English and Spanish, this comp showcases the true diversity among the bands and styles.
The Dale La Bota Tour, featuring Voodoo Glow Skulls, The Toasters, and Left Alone, comes to The Middle East Downstairs on October 4th in support of the record. Head over to Interpunk to order a copy of the disc.
Boston Ska (dot) net has a pair of tickets to give away courtesy of the Middle East Details on how to win below!

On the weekend of September 28th, we’ll pick our favorite from the photos. Yes, those are my boots, and no, they’re not so exciting. Yours are probably much cooler.
