Our second single was a cover of "Telstar" and our album, Skad for Life, contained mostly original material apart from Apache, Mrs Walker, Bang Bang Lulu and "We gotta get out of this place" as an homage to Chas Chandler who financed the album. We split up just before its release.<BR/>I bit of trivia, the cover of Apache was drawn by Chester Kamen son of the composer Michael.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11751516.post-71706588860289670052008-03-23T21:40:00.000+00:002008-03-23T21:40:00.000+00:00The Ska-dows had 3 singles released on Cheapskate,...The Ska-dows had 3 singles released on Cheapskate, the last being 'Skas on 45' which was released after they split up.
