Based in St. Louis, the Skalars were a third-wave ska group led at one time led by Isaac Green (who was billed separately from the band name), until he retired from performing to become their manager. Co-lead singers Jessica Butler and Evan Shaw subsequently took center stage. The Skalars debuted on the Moon Ska label with Skoolin' With the Skalars; Change Up followed in 1999. ~ Steve Huey
