Llama Tsunami began skanking in 2008, and nourished by the hearty bread they consumed, the band quickly became a nonstop dance machine! Get ready for danceable beats, catchy horn lines, and a ton of fun!

Playing for over three years across New England, the band has developed a strong and dedicated fan base, most recently winning the regional Shure Give It Voice battle of the bands at the Paradise Rock Club in Boston and national round, earning them a slot at the RedGorilla Music Festival in Austin during SXSW. They have been booked with bands such as The Toasters, Sonic Boom 6, We Are Scientists, Mates of State, Tip the Van, Bigger Thomas, and many other great acts.

Their 2010 album “Get Serious” captures the essence of the band’s primary message. The title of the album is both ironic and fitting. In a way, it mocks those who take themselves far too seriously and are unable to laugh at a joke at their own expense, but it also recognizes the necessity for dedication. As the band’s first full length studio album, it offers their light-hearted approach to songwriting and tempers that with more mature songs with a deeper message. There is something for everyone on this album, but in the end the album is simply lots of fun. As the band says:

“We play ska. Some people don’t like us because apparently ska isn’t fun anymore. We beg to differ.”
