"Fenwicks For Freedom"!
From Steve Schub and the Fenwicks:
-From this day forward, let the word go forth, to friend and foe alike! Mark it on your calendars and tattoo it on your tushies! One month from today- the little 10-piece "Afro-Celtic Yiddish Ska" band that can not, Will not, WON'T not die- your very own ferocious, fanatical, phantasmagorical Fenwicks return to the East Coast for the first time since the 2005 Vans Warped Tour! For over 20 years we 'Wix have been bringing it, and you Wick-heads have been humoring it- so why stop now? This time it's for Freedom! Quite literally. Thanks to the support and blessings of the Human Rights Foundation- the world's leading think tank dedicated to the defense of Individual Rights in the Americas, we 'Wix have the distinct honor of being the opening act on Big D and The Kids Table's "Steady Riot" Ska Fall tour- (along with the bands: Whole Wheat Bread, The AKA's, and of course Big D himself).

p.s. Um, for those of you who've never been to a Fenwick fiesta, and may perhaps be, shall we say, a little shy/nervous and/or possibly unprepared? Here's a few new reviews to let ya know what you can expect:
"The story of this band is legend. America's only Afro-Celtic Yiddish Ska band is like Oingo Boingo on steroids. Shifting seamlessly from circus music to booty shaking third wave ska at it's best. With an insane, hysterical, vaudevillian stage show, deranged lyrics and a frenzied assault on everything sacred, The Fenwicks will not disappoint".
-Skratch Magazine
"Bold and powerful. Blew my mind. I have never ever heard anything like this before".
-Southern Ska Magazine
"How can you not like this band? A band that swings and rocks at the same time, a lead singer, who is at heart a showman- the best live band I have heard".
-Silly Little Trouser Monkey Magazine
"What is this?! The Fenwicks are not a normal band. Blending punk, ska, pop and klezmer, they sound like something you'd hear at a mutant cross-cultural wedding. They are a band with a message: enjoy one's life! The songs ask you to live with integrity, love with sincerity, and act to make your life better. The Fenwicks promote joy both in theory and in practice- they sing and perform with the joy
they preach".
-G. Murray Thomas, The Independent
"Diverse and electrifying. These guys make you want to cavort with wild spasms of joy, ruthlessly kicking your legs up with reckless abandon. Their infectious grooves leave you begging for more. Spin this disc at your next big party, and it will not soon be forgotten"
-Glass Eye Magazine
