BOSTON, MA — BIG D AND THE KIDS TABLE will kick off an extensive North American tour next week in support of their acclaimed new album, The Good Ole American Saturday Night, available now via SideOneDummy Records.
The tour begins August 27 at TV Eye in New York City and takes the veteran Boston ska-punk band through the East Coast before heading to Mexico for four October shows in Tecate, Monterrey, Guadalajara, and Mexico City. BIG D will then return for dates across the northeastern U.S., Canada, and Midwest, culminating in two special “A Nightmare Before Halloween” performances.
Los Angeles ska-punk band Matamoska will join BIG D for the August and September dates, while Devon Kay & The Solutions will provide support on the October U.S. and Canadian run.
The tour concludes with two “A Nightmare Before Halloween” shows featuring ska-punk veterans The Pietasters and Devon Kay & The Solutions. The celebrations hit Wonder Bar in Asbury Park on October 23 and Boston’s Paradise Rock Club on October 24.
Tickets and additional information are available at bigdandthekidstable.com.
Frontman Dave McWane says:
“Thank you for loving the album, everyone. We have been over-the-top excited to get it to you! Thanks to our friends all around the world—the U.S., U.K., EU, Japan, China, Southeast Asia, Australia, and you, Canada! We can’t wait to hit the road and see you all!”
Produced by Joe Gittleman of The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Matt Appleton of Reel Big Fish, The Good Ole American Saturday Night finds the longtime ska-punk innovators firing on all cylinders more than 30 years into their career.
The album moves seamlessly between high-energy ska-punk anthems, laid-back reggae grooves, heartfelt songwriting, and massive singalong choruses. Drawing inspiration from every chapter of the band’s catalog—from the punk urgency of Good Luck to the reggae influence of Strictly Rude—the record celebrates individuality, creativity, community, and finding joy during challenging times.
Led by the singles “Whiplash,” “Right Now,” and “Scatterbrain,” The Good Ole American Saturday Night has earned an enthusiastic reception from fans and critics alike.
