'Something Strong' celebrates 20 Years of Melbourne Ska Orchestra in song! VINYL / STREAM HERE: It’s been a pretty amazing adventure with the Melbourne Ska Orchestra. Born out of love for the genre back in 2003, the energy that all the musicians have invested has translated into a fun filled mission in the name of Ska. The music by it’s nature is a community event when performed and we’re lucky to have created a family vibe that has propelled this special thing we’ve created into a double decade story of Joy. 20 years young is a valid description of where we’re at as the excitement and creativity within the band is still burning strong. With our World Tours and Awards we know we’re doing something unique and positive in the music world. This single is a snapshot so far….so much more to come….. Long Live Melbourne Ska Orchestra! Long Live Ska! LYRICS: 20 years young to the day When the orchestra started to play Hep cats from Melbourne town Got together for the Monster Sound Hip vibe in the Gershwin room Oh Saint Kilda she went boom boom boom Celebrating 1963 Jump Up 40th anniversary.
