Friday, December 5th at Lucky Bar Victoria BC Ska & Reggae Society is proud to present our last show of 2025 with longtime friends Mindil Beach who will return to perform in Victoria for the first time in over 10 years. Theyll be joined by their longtime friends Deep Sea Gypsies and Ska & Reggae Society alumni Blackwood Kings. The saying Better Late than Never in Mindil Beachs situation would be better categorized as never say never. Thats because Mindil Beach (formerly Mindil Beach Markets) have been on quite a roller coaster ride during their run as an active band. With their late great beloved leader Daniel Kingbury the band toured throughout BC and other parts of Canada. They were actively promoting environmental stewardship in schools throughout BC with their Jellyfish Project and they headlined and played as support on big shows and festivals throughout Western Canada (including Victoria Ska Vol III and will finally perform the material they invested their energy into a decade ago. For those of you that are new to Mindil Beach they have a west coast sound that mixes a bit of rock, folk, funk, hip hop and reggae. Deep Sea Gypsies who will be playing just before Mindil Beach describe themselves as a combination of 60s psych blues rock and 70s southern rock mixed with elements of funk and soul. Their influences include the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Muddy Waters and more. And finally for the Island ska/reggae faithful we have Blackwood Kings. Blackwood Kings have been playing for almost a decade and a half in our scene. Their last appearance was at Victoria Ska & Reggae Festival opening for Jakobs Castle (ft. Jakob Nowell of Sublime), Long Beach Dub All Stars and Mad Professor. They will be coming to bring us their signature brand of ska and reggae straight-up. Doors are 7pm/ Curfew is 11pm. Advance tickets available on Ticketweb.ca and Hoyne Brewing Company. Get tickets as fast as you can because were expecting this one to sell out.
