Boy, oh boy, did the Specials get their skank on at Coachella Friday afternoon.
The reunited English band, one of the pioneers of "2 Tone" ska-punk music, played their second U.S. show in nearly three decades (their first was a L.A. warm-up gig the night before) and they must've been hanging out at the Red Bull tent beforehand. Though the bandmembers are all over 50, they hopped, skipped, spun, and danced non-stop all over the stage. It was like a ska-punk fitness class.
