THE ALSTONIANS
Alston, MA

This band has yet to release anything to speak  of, however, I 
have often heard them referred  to as the best Boston based 
band of the 90's. Dan Vitale, lead singer of Bim Skala Bim,  
considers them one of the best new ska bands  around.  Over the 
years, they have developed  their live act into a extravaganza 
of bean town  cheer.

They have opened for just about every major  ska band touring.  
I've seen them pre and post  Mushlin, and believe that they 
have regained  their stage presence after the catastrophe of  
Avalon, Boston at Skavoovie '93.

They do have a few songs published on
compilations.  The first is "B-train to Alston"  featured on 
the MASH IT UP '93 compilation. This is my favorite of their 
songs.  Recently,  Summer 1994, they released their second 
song,  "Spike," on the Moon Comp
SKAMAGGEDDON.  Not the best song in the  lot.  Personally, I 
think they should have put  "Goodnight Daniel" on it instead.  
I think they  wanted to release a more recent song, so they  
decided against it.
