Who remembers Toe’s Tavern - Santa Barbara’s best live music dive? Located on State St. it was a college student’s best friend and Mento Buru’s entry into the SB college music scene. They had “Big Wednesday” where you could $10, get a plastic cup for cheap beer refills and as much pizza you could stuff yourself with. Packed to capacity. The coolest bands rolled through: No Doubt, Ozomatli, Sublime, Rice & Beans, Snot, Skankin’ Pickle, and of course the locals Crucial DBC and our ska homies The Upbeat who we played our first Fiesta Days with! We would roll in for a full weekend of Fiesta Day shows at clubs like Toe’s, Soho, De La Guerra Plaza, UCSB frat houses and anybody who would let us play in their backyard. State St. is not what used to be and neither is Fiesta Days. 🍺😎 . . . . . #santabarbara #toestavern #mentoburu #californiaska #theupbeat #moonska #steadybeatska #bakersfieldska #skahistory #crucialdbc #flashbackfriday (at Santa Barbara, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCv5p7SAYOi/?igshid=yfx7fv1x6n4x
