I was proud as punch to be the guests of the Skatalites at the 3 Floors of Ska show at the NYC Knitting Factory, Feb 2007 heres a snippet of the action going down! Guest Trombonist, Obi Fernandez from Westbound Train!
Long time friend of the show, Coolie Ranx aka Obiajula (formerly of Pilfers & The Toasters) came by the set just to represent and Qmaxx called him onstage. Coolie was of course fully down so he got on and rocked the mic. NUFF SAID! Dedicated to Joe Strummer (R.I.P.)
Jessica returns with a lil' ditty that impresses upon us the importance of enjoying youth while simultaneously being mindful of the ephemeral nature of life,
Manhattan Neighborhood Network was rocked to its foundations in August 2001 when 6' blonde bombshell Call me Audrey took on Checkerboard Kids host Phil. She might have height and skill but Phil has the weight advantage plus CSWF wrestler Billy Firehawk in his corner! Hopefully ref will make sure it's a fair match! Comentary by The Masked Mutant and Frank Craven (What's Healing/ailing America)

The Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players take to the streets of NYC in this jaunty video romp directed by Phil Dejean (Checkerboard Kids) and Vince Lombardi (First Note)
The Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players make songs about slide collections they procure on their travels across the globe. These particular slides were a gift from Jack White of The White Stripes. He said he found it in his Aunties attic. The video was directed by Phil Dejean (Checkerboard Kids) and Vince Lombardi (First Note)
12 Year Old Rachel Trachtenburg of the Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players does a cover of "Bike" by Pink Floyd. Her Mom, Tina Pina does the introductions in this Clip from NYCs Checkerboard Kids Program on MNN!
A short video from the band with the world's longest name singing the song with the longest title "You're the One Who's Made For Me and I was Made for You" for "Jack's Big Music Show" (season 2) Longtime friend of the Checkerboard Kids Program, Jason Trachtenburg tells me to "Make sure they know it's a kids show!" We Know, Mr T. We Know! Enjoy!
Brave New Girls big finale was always this song. But this particular version held special weight because it was their final performance together. After this song the members of BNG would say farewell and they would scatter to the the ends of the earth never to perform together again. When Dunia Best says Goodbye at the end she really means it.
Jewel (lead singer/ bass) was angered when she discovered her brother is doing a bid in prison for being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Instead of blowing stuff up, she put her energy into songwriting to positively channel her rage at the system. Bravissima Jewel! We wish you and the other members of "Cedric Obando and the Broken Condoms" success!
