To all of my disgraced family: Here are two winners from two Skafish contests!
First, we have Jim Ryan from Chicago, who is proudly wearing his “WHAT’S THIS FREAKIN’ $%&!?” Skafish T-Shirt which he won in that giveaway contest. Jim, who loves music that defiles the straight and narrow, attended his first Skafish show in the mid 1970’s, and has [...]
There is a great story on Skafish on the Dangerous Minds blog entitled Skafish: Chicago’s First Punk Rocker.
It is a very nicely written piece from Marc Campbell, who actually saw Skafish live at CBGB’s back in the day.
Check it out and let him (and us) know what you think!

I love and appreciate all of you and the connection we share (and that’s no show-biz shtick) and want all of you to win. To make sure the contest is fair, a random number generator is used to select winners so everyone has an equal chance of winning!

The 4th of July is supposed to celebrate America’s independence as a country. Some take it as a symbol of their own personal liberty and freedom as well.
But for those of us who are alienated, ostracized, and outcasts, it’s nothing more than an obnoxious day of ear shattering fireworks and a reminder of how we [...]
Sarah Andrews of Evanston Illinois, and Bob Pittenger of Warsaw Indiana are the two winners of the Other People’s Rejection Letters free giveaway book contest. Thanks to everyone who participated as it’s been a lot of fun! FYI, I’ve got another exciting Skafish giveaway contest coming up in just a few days. — Jim Skafish

I have always liked Mick Jagger both as a songwriter and a front-man. He’s my kind of performer because he takes charge and dominates the audience like an alpha-male lion tamer, just as a great entertainer must, especially in the context of the huge arena concert where so many things can go awry. As a [...]
I always find homophobia, especially in America, to be a combination of two extremes: the laughably absurd, and the terrifyingly tragic.
Absurd, when we see homophobic athletes hugging each other tighter than they’d ever with a woman, gently patting each other’s asses all game long, and even kissing, all under the guise of being absolutely straight [...]
Here we see JD Dragus, a pal I went to high school with at Bishop Noll Institute. More than a school, BNI was like a abusive, tortuous, Catholic solitary confinement prison cell!
JD is sporting his Skafish T-shirt, classic derby hat and a very cool-looking guitar.
JD is a songwriter, singer, guitarist and musician who has already been signed to [...]
Mark Reynolds, a bass player and musician from Kansas City, Missouri, was kind enough to send us this pic looking quite dapper in his Skafish contest prize T-shirt and very hip ska style hat.
In addition to having had his music featured in a film, Mark has shared the stage with such groups as Black Flag and The [...]
We’ve had people enter from all over the world in the 2009 Skafish Holiday season contest giveaway! Phil Bradley was one of our lucky contest winners from the UK. A Skafish fan for decades, Phil sent us these two images for us to enjoy.
We can appreciate the timeless, dignified, classic drawing on the front — OOOPS!!!!!! [...]
