Strange Tenants were the “Godfathers of Australian Ska”, emerging in the 1980s in the wake of UK two-tone ska bands like The Specials but producing original political ska songs unlike most other Australian ska bands. 36 years later they’re still around and still political.

Andrew caught up with director Fiona Cochrane to discuss her documentary Strange Tenants: Ska'd For Life which is screening at the Melbourne Documentary Film Festival on July 24th at 6:15pm. Tickets are available here.
