In 1991, Skankin’ Pickle chose the name Skafunkrastapunk for their debut album because that was literally the mishmash of genres they played. It may seem like nothing now, but at the time, it wasn’t the norm. Skankin’ Pickle played several shows with ska bands that played tight 2 Tone grooves and wore snappy suits. These bands drew skinheads, mods, and rude boys. Much of that crowd
Our genre mashup term was SWANK (swing, ska, punk, rock)....Skafunkrastapunk is better I think. I can't think of Skankin' Pickle without singing the line - "my hair looks like pasta, think ima rasta..."
