Encore: Catbite mini-concert with host Stephen Kallao

In the mid-‘90s, bands like No Doubt and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones were mainstays of alternative radio, and now Ska is having a moment once again. One of the bands leading the charge is Philadelphia’s Catbite. Their new album Nice One – balancing a mix of different Ska styles – offers something for almost everyone. Coming up on an encore edition of the World Cafe, we’ll hear some of the new music, as Catbite performs a mini-concert for a live World Cafe audience.
