About
Fun times are a priority with Brookfield's best (and probably only) ska band. SFT started with Jeff, Kyle, and Ken in 2005 and has grown to a five member ska outfit. Solid guitars, clean vocals, and tight horn riffs, provided by Austin and Maddi, lay the backbone for fun tracks and one hell of a live show. Join us in making ska more than just an underground scene once again! Buy our music! http://shortstopfromtokyomusic.bandcamp.com/ Check out our Facebook! http://www.facebook.com/shortstopfromtokyo
