This classic Sharpie flyer is from one of our first shows (‘92) at the original @csubakersfield campus pub - where we students let off a lot of steam during midterms, finals, and jazz ensemble practice! Lots of local band debuts. Thanks for the support! 😎👍🏽 Happy 50th CSUB! 🎂 . . . . . #sharpieflyer #skaflyer #bakersfield #mentoburu #bakersfieldband #supportyourlocalbands #hispanicheritagemonth #csub50 #csubalumni #reggae #centralvalleyska (at California State University, Bakersfield) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGINvvIAQ31/?igshid=1n1xsib2gtd58

“El Chapo knows don’t argue!” So...two months after the capture of Chapo Guzman in 2016, we did a show to prove everything goes better with SKA! 🎨👉🏽 @erock1980 Oi! We might print some of these classics up again for a giveaway. 😎👍🏽 . . . . #chapoguzman #skapoguzman #skaflyer #californiaska #skaband #bakersfieldska #sandrinis #bakersfieldmusic #2016 #thirdwaveska (at Sandrini's Public House) https://www.instagram.com/p/CESCp2AAoER/?igshid=h403cagg5wog

From The Archive - 199?According to @king_steady_beat - this show was the final show under the Blackpool banner (at Hollywood Moguls, not Terraza Jamay) before becoming @steadybeatrecordings 😎 Do the math with all those ska bands and you have about 300 musicians under one roof! All Cali SKA styles represented from traditional to third wave to Latin ska and in between. Everybody was cool and just there to play music, dance, meet girls, witness the occasional skinhead scuffle, and split up the free beer tickets. Shout out to Luis Correa for always paying the bands. White envelope, cash, no BS. Oi! 👍🏽 . . . . . #mentoburu #steadybeatrecordings #hollywoodmoguls #skaflyer #californiaska #latinska #thirdwaveska #hollywood #moonska (at Hollywood, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDMQPxvgbGf/?igshid=1sydzwx53k3pb

From The Archive: Coffeehouse culture ☕️ came to downtown Bakersfield in the nineties at 1523 19th St. First as Matches Coffeehouse, then Chaos, where Mento Buru had lots of sweaty, all-ages shows and all at a very ska-ffordable price. If you were one of the local hip kids, geeks, or skaters looking for a place to hangout and catch a show this where you hitched a ride to get your caffeine fix, play Magic cards and loiter. The band Cake from Sacramento (yes, thee Cake,) played one of their early shows there too. After Chaos closed, it became Bottom’s Up Canteen, then (and currently) Riley’s Tavern ☘️- which we also had shows at. Point us to an available power outlet, we’ll take it from there. 😎👍🏽 . . . . . . #mentoburu #chaoscoffee #downtownbakersfield #bakersfieldmusic #skaflyer #bakersfieldmusichistory #californiaska #thirdwaveska #ninetiesska (at Downtown Bakersfield) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCoQXrFgYpv/?igshid=ggosf13m8ynz

#FlashbackFriday flyer for a Suds Tavern show. Suds was the best local dive bar music venue in town for decades. Tiny, smokey. Used to be an old fire station and fire horse stable. Touring acts of every kind stopped in, lots of blues, funk, rockabilly. WAR, James Harmon, El Chicano, Forbidden Pigs, Food For Feet (John Avila from Oingo Boingo.) Mento Buru’s first bar gig after playing strictly all ages shows for the first couple years (Thanks Mike Cancholla!) The location is now @twogoatsandthegoose 🎶 That’s the late-great Screamin’ Jay Hawkins.✌🏽💀 . . . . . . #mentoburu #skaflyer #bakersfieldmusic #screaminjayhawkins #sudstavern #bakersfield #thirdwaveska #wallstreetalley #ska #bakersfield #latinska (at Downtown Bakersfield) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCME737gwJt/?igshid=1jta77fe6qr4c
