Bim Skala Bim, formed in Boston, Massachusetts, was one of America's initial responses to Britain's 2-Tone movement in the early '80s. They made several albums, started their own music label to release the music of other aspiring ska bands, and remained active through 2002. Also inspired by the Clash, UB40 and Bob Marley, the group became one of the longest-lasting ska groups in America.
Bim Skala Bim was founded in 1983 by vocalist Dan Vitale and bassist Mark Ferranti. Its lineup has also included mainstays drummer Jim Arhelger, percussionist Rick Barry, keyboard player John Cameron, trombonist John Ferry, guitarist Jim Jones, keyboardist Robin Ducot, guitarist Ephraim Lessell, drummer John Sullivan, trombonist Vincent Noble and saxophonist Dave Butts.
