Less Than Jake’s Summer Circus
With support from The Suicide Machines, Fishbone & Bite Me Bambi
On an unsuspecting Tuesday night, the ska punk circus rolled into town.
More specifically, Long Island, NY at Mulcahy’s 6-18-25.
After over 30 years of connecting with fans, touring and recording, ska-punk legends Less Than Jake are still at it and stronger as ever.
The rifts and the vibes at Mulcahy’s on Long Island satisfied the old school fans, as the band launched a decent balance into their two newest LPs: Uncharted and Silver Linings.
The show included the expected, but beloved Less Than Jake antics, including:
Wavy wacky inflatable arm person! & toilet paper guns (some bands have confetti)
Keeping on theme and something new for crowd participation - red clown noses for the audience.
The VIP section featured the opportunity for two fans to join the band on stage to dance and help rile up the crowd. Even Mr. Skull, the band’s mascot was dressed for the occasion. Catch the circus as it rolls into a town near you - the UK is up next!
The Suicide Machines
Reigning from Detroit, Michigan, but home in the hearts of many, The Suicide Machines brought the unrelenting and energetic presence only a genuine skate-punk band can.
Jay Navarro - a veteran to touring and a pro-provocateur danced across the stage, gripped the mic and spit the fire of our youth. With the occasional middle-finger salute to the crowd, punctuated by a smile that politely threatens all misconceptions of punks not being friendly, Navarro led the band’s tour de force into a raucously fun set.
With the circle pit going at full speed, the music felt as relevant and as fresh as ever, the now-released once pent-up energy of the crowd simmered long after they bowed from their set to make way for the grand finale of Long Island’s stop on the Summer Circus.

Fishbone
Ska reggae mastermind Angelo Moore and his band, Fishbone take the stage with a full band, an ease and and unmistakable bravado of a band who will celebrate 40 years of their pivotal album “In Your Face” next year!
