Event Description

The Taj Motel Trio has served their brand of feverishly loud & fast ska-punk for 20 years. And while commercial success has evaded them (and every other ska-punk band since the late 90’s), they’ve brought their infectious energy and catchy horn lines to basements and dive bars up and down the east coast.While every show is fun, not every show has been on a small stage. Taj, as they are affectionately known, has performed a number of large venue shows, performing at the Vans Warped Tour and opening for Bon Jovi in Atlanta at Infinite Energy Arena (thanks to winning a Top 40 radio station cover song contest; take that major label snobs!). The band has also performed with a number of ska and punk legends including Big D and the Kids Table, Catch 22, Edna’s Goldfish, Five Iron Frenzy, Less Than Jake, Mustard Plug, The Pietasters, The Planet Smashers, Reel Big Fish, The Toasters and many more.
 
“Fuákata” is Spanish slang for impact, like the words boom or pow. It’s an onomatopoeia. The band’s music is a blend of Ska, hardcore,reggae, and punk rock with some added hints of that Miami flavor. When all of these genres combine, the sounds hit you all at once, l “¡Fuákata!”.
¡Fuákata! is a 5 piece band that was established in 2021. Having played their first show early 2022, the band has been performing non-stop. Their shows are lively and areguaranteed to get the crowd moving!
