Biography

  • Hailing from Boston, Massachusetts, Big D and the Kids Table is a ska punk band that formed in 1995. They are famed for producing and engineering all of their own albums.

    The band came together when the members were all at Berklee College of Music in Boston. They developed a large cult following in the early days, selling out local bars and clubs. They established their own label called Fork in Hand Records and released their first album “Shot By Lammi”. It wasn’t long until their label had signed bands from the Boston area, building a ska punk scene. Out of the label came an annual Halloween show in their hometown.

    It was in 1999 that Big D decided to sign with Asian Man Records to release their debut full-length album “Good Luck”. They picked up the ‘Outstanding Ska Band’ award at the Boston Music Awards. Around this point in the band’s career they were playing roughly two hundred shows a year. The band were no strangers to doing things differently, including when the band decided to release a gangsta rap album of their songs that they recorded in 2000 on Fork in Hand Records. They earned the opportunity to play on the Vans Warped Tour in 2003. In 2004 they embarked on the Ska Is Dead tour with Mustard Plug and the Planet Smashers. It was also around this time that the band had the opportunity to tour with some of the biggest names in ska music such as Reel Big Fish and Streetlight Manifesto. Big D became regular visitors of the Vans Warped Tour, having featured on a compilation in 2005. In March 2007, the band released “Strictly Rude”, and quickly hit the road for another tour alongside Alexisonfire and Set Your Goals.

    Big D released “Fluent In Stroll” on July 7th 2009, and played the Vans Warped Tour that summer, promoting their album. The autumn of this year saw the band play their second headline tour. On June 11th 2013, Big D released, “Stomp & Stroll”.

Live reviews

  • Big D And The Kids Table

    If you want to see ska music in its purest and wackiest form, then Big D and the Kids Table is definitely the kind of live performance you want to see. The band has a large group of members that creates a large sound. They tour with about ten members, which play the typical rock instruments, as well as ska instruments such as tenor saxophone, trombone, and organ. They are known for their “do it yourself” work ethic, having a strong influence in all parts of their musical career. This kind of dedication to their music is reflected in their highly energetic live performances. Lead singer, David McWane, runs around stage singing his lyrics to his fans who are just as passionate about singing the lyrics back to him. The horn players in the band also be seen dancing to the music in syncopation.

    The band consists of well trained musicians who met each other while attending Berklee College of Music in Boston. Their musical talent can be seen by their intricate style of playing, but Big D and the Kids Table also are known to keep it simple and sweet with fast paced, punk like rhythms that are very energetic and catchy. The band’s tenacity and strong work ethic have helped them create a growing fan base. They have been included on such large tours such as Warped Tour, and have been opening acts for such bands as The Dropkick Murphys and Rancid.

    All who go to a Big D and the Kids Table are likely to have a great time, whether its skank dancing to the highly charge ska performance or singing to every lyric of the songs.
