Chris and the Dickens is a 6-piece ska band from Vanceburg Kentucky. Their humble beginings were as a punk band, formed in 2005, they strived to separate themselves from Emo bands that were blurring the lines between Emo--which they disapproved--and Punk. As a punk band they grew a dynamic hometown status. In 2006, after a flurry of shows in their own local high school, they invited regional ska bands SofaPunch and Brian's Moving Out, the members had been ska fans previously, and admired the work of the cincinnati ska scene. After the consecutive shows with out-of-town bands, Chris and the Dickens were invited to shows in the midst of the Cincinnati Ska Scene. Early in 2007, they transformed into a ska band, preferably 3rd or 4th wave. The band attracted attention and soon played Ska Stock
