About this event
Ska Party at The Fest! Feat: The Boy Detective Kill Lincoln Title Holder Something To Do Sorry Sweetheart Joker's Republic PWRUP Legitimate Business Mega Infinity Pink Slip Double Jointed The Doomstompers Chilled Monkey Brains Nick and the Adversaries The Boy Detective started as a recording project between two friends to sing ska-punk songs about their kids and wives and to get out of the house a few times a month. Nic Good (guitar, vocals, eating) and Benny Capaul (vocals, embalming) worked this way on and off for two years until deciding to get serious a few months before Covid shut everything down.

Soon after, Geridan St Peter (trombone, shaved ice) and Seth Urban (saxophone, having a cool mom) signed on and the band played their first show in April of 2022. A bit later, Ricky Held (bass, actual talent) and Rhiannon Smith (baritone sax, enforcement) joined and the band started the process of writing and recording their magnum opus: Art Theft (2024).
