Got pictures? Share them with us! Pietasters at Maxwell's photo by NattyB/Irie BayCDs   Some time ago I went to see the Slackers in Hoboken, just before they went to tour Europe. There's nothing new that can be said about them, but the surprise of the evening was Mass. Hysteria out of Boston, a really sweet sounding old school ska band that seems variously populated by members of the Checkered Cabs and New Reggae Review. Don't miss them when they are here in city and check out the CDs on their web site.
