Later this month, OG UK ska kings The Specials are reuniting for a U.K. tour celebrating their 30th anniversary. In promotion, and to shake off some rust, the band played on Jools Holland this week, busting out "Gangsters" and "A Message to You Rudy." The band looked and sounded all right, it's probably a lot easier to come back as a ska band than it is for an old punk band since they don't have to replicate some angry mood they had 30 years ago.
