Melbourne Ska Orchestra (MSO) have announced the release of their second album, 'Sierra-Kilo-Alpha', which will coincide with a national tour.
'Sierra-Kilo-Alpha' is the MSO’s own history: a nod to the past with an eye firmly on the future, dangerous and free. Recorded at the ABC and Freeburgh studios in Melbourne, the album, out on 22 April, throbs with hope, excitement and freshness.
MSO’s live performance is nothing short of spectacular, sometimes tipping the 30 player mark. The album tour – capital city and regional dates, spanning from April to June – will be no different with between 20 and 30 band members at all times.
