經過13年舞台生涯,Deskarats 鞏固了其作為加泰羅尼亞最好的斯卡樂隊之一的地位。過去十年確實發生了很多事,包括陣容變動, 四張專輯的推出,合作,走遍西班牙和歐洲和亞洲的巡回演出...這些經歷把這些加泰羅尼亞的阿米爾鎮的樂手鍛造成了一個牢固的樂隊。 他們音樂生涯上的一個轉折點就是第二張的唱片 DKS(2006)的推出,這張唱片是由紐約的傳奇樂隊 Toasters 的領導者 Rob Hingley “Bucket” 所製作的。
與製作人的縁份為他們帶來了作為 Toasters 樂隊巡回演出的支持樂隊的機會,Toasters 樂隊對 Deskarats 的每個成員都具有影響力。Deskarats 完成他們的第三張依然由 Bucket 製作的專輯 Disseminat s/n(2008)後再次陪同 Toasters 作每年度的西班牙巡回演出。在最新推出的唱片,Deskarats 簽了美國領先的斯卡唱片公司 Megalith Records,為他們提供全球唱片分銷和打開了歐洲巡回演出的大門——再為這個屬於所有舞台的樂隊添加了另一個勲章。他們不屈不撓的精神和演奏了300多場音樂會的經驗確保了他們光明的前途。
After 13 years on the stage, Deskarats have solidified their position as one of the best ska groups on the Catalan scene, if not worldwide. The last decade has been eventful indeed, with changes in the line-up, the release of four albums, collaborations, tours all over Spain and in Europe and China… experiences that have forged this group of 8 musicians from the Catalonian town of Amer into a tight-knit ensemble.
A turning point in their career was the recording of their sophomore release, DKS (2006), which was produced by Rob “Bucket” Hingley, leader of the legendary New York band the Toasters. This connection led to the opportunity to tour as a supporting act for the Toasters, who are musical reference for everyone in the band.
Deskarats accompanied the Toasters once more on the American band's annual tour of Spain upon completing their third album, Disseminat s/n (2008), again produced by Bucket. Deskarats signed with leading American ska label Megalith Records, providing them worldwide distribution. Their latest release, Festival (2011), takes another stride forward in sk-awesomeness, with two of the songs on the album reliving wild memories of Macau, a favourite stop on their last China tour (2010).
