If anything is going to take you back to your high school rasta phase, it’s going to be this show with famed Jamaica outfit the Skatalites. Instrumental in forming the rude-boy sound by collaborating with iconic artists including Prince Buster, much of the band’s original lineup (they have a four-piece brass section) still rocks steady on tracks such as “Guns of Navarone” and “Garden Of Love.” It shouldn’t be difficult to figure out tonight’s plans: Bowling and ska were made for each other.
