Tapping Into The Fountain Of Youth With NICKY BOMBA From MELBOURNE SKA ORCHESTRA

Tapping Into The Fountain Of Youth With NICKY BOMBA From MELBOURNE SKA ORCHESTRA

Interview by Erin Eddy
The acclaimed Melbourne Ska Orchestra is celebrating a milestone this year, and taking their
infectious and energetic show on the road, as well as releasing a ‘Best Of’ to mark the occasion.
20 Years Young may sound like a cliché choice for a title, however, captain of the helm Nicky Bomba says he felt it was the perfect choice.
“Some of the team thought it was a bit cliché,” Nicky admits, “but this isn’t cliché, this is real. We are 20 years, and we are still chomping at the bit, you know, so I celebrated that and I flew the flag for that title.”
A new single, Something Strong, has been released and is a reflection on the past 20 years.
“We’ve looked back at what we’ve done and how the band started, and it was all out of the love and good, beautiful energy of the music,” Nicky reflects, “That’s why we had our first gig, we were celebrating the genre, and it’s great that after all this time it’s still as exciting.”
“We were putting out the vinyl and we realised we should do a single for the tour,” continues Nicky, “and it’s a great feeling, being able to celebrate and write a song about your own band and your own adventures, and the fact that it’s not actually the end of something, it’s still very much a valid, creative energy; it was great to write it and great to have that feeling.”
HEAVY spoke with Nicky about the past 20 years, the upcoming tour and vinyl release and you can listen the interview in full now!
