Recently, Aldis Strazdins started a new ska documentary, focusing on
six Midwestern (US) ska bands, called `Last Train: Ska in the
Heartland'. The bands are Mustard Plug, Exceptions, Gangster Fun,
Weaker Youth Ensemble, MU330 and High Ball Holiday. *News! The film is
now in post-production.* More news as it develops.
A video *has been* produced for Rude Buoy Enterprises by Kane Docker,
containing many of Australia's current ska bands in live and
video-style performances. It is available as of January 1997.
