Bus Boys, Untouchables and More: This is a fascinating rock, funk, soul, ska fusion night at the Whisky. The Bus Boys are well known for their appearance in the Eddie Murphy / Nick Nolte movie 48 Hours, singing their song “The Boys are Back in Town,” which is an entirely different song to the Thin Lizzy classic of the same name.

They’re paired with Silver Lake ska band the Untouchables who have been credited for being America’s first ska band. The line up has shifted a lot over the years, but there is still an original or two in there. Audrey Turner, Osairis, Kenneith Perrin, and Gaba Grove also perform.

We reviewed the Untouchables in 2022, writing “L.A. ska vets the Untouchables sounded superb on Friday night, despite the fact that the only remaining original member is frontman Jerry Allen. Sorry, it might not be fair, but you can get away with way more if you only have one original member and it’s the singer. They played the hits — ‘I Spy for the FBI,’ ‘Twist N Shake’ and ‘Free Yourself’ — and they sounded spot on despite Allen suffering with microphone issues.”

Bus Boys, Untouchables and More: The event takes place at 6 p.m. on Saturday, January 27 at the Whisky A Go Go.
