Do you think The Rough Customers have been slacking? Well, cut it out, because here comes proof that we have been hard at work behind closed doors. A brand new, never before heard by human ears, original song! A Rough Customers tribute to the 90's television icon, Dave Coulier!
Catch "Coulier Than You" as it drops on all streaming platforms on Friday, December 20th!

Screw January 1st, celebrate The Rough Customers New Year on February 7th at The Burl! We will have an early start for a night full of punk, ska, booze, and arcade madness. For our Louisville ruffians, come hang out with us at Mag Bar the following night where there will be - you guessed it - more punk and ska!
And, keep an eye on our show listings because we have some more exciting stuff in the works for Lexington and beyond!
We have been kind of quiet as of late, but don't worry yourselves. That's about to change. In this downtime during the holiday season we have been at work on some new tunes, new covers, and new shenanigans.
Be sure and catch us in early February as we take the stage at new venues; The Burl in Lexington and Mag Bar in Louisville! And, as we play with new amazing bands, as well as new versions of our old favorites!
Our new EP is officially released! We have the CDs on hand, the tracks for download on our Music page, and in the next few days it will be live on all the download and streaming platforms that you all know and love!
Plus! We now have physical copies of Re-Masters of the Tune-Verse for purchase at our shows and soon to be in our Store. So much excite!
We holed up in our favorite studio (Sneak Attack) over the weekend, and laid down tracks for our upcoming album. Despite all of the dicking around with keyboards and theremins (evidence below) we got five whole songs done. And, holy guacamole, do they sound sweet!
So, get ready for a soon-to-be single to hit the airwaves, Ruffians!
We have entered the modern age! Fourty-two minutes of ska bliss. Follow us now!
We finally found her! Our new singer, that is.
Earlier this week we finally revealed our new lead vocalist, Andrea Moffett. Not only does she have a great voice, and tons of past experience with other great bands, she's also oddly at ease around us bunch of doofuses! Doofi? Doofus pluralized!
Anyway, Andrea has been lurking in the shadows, getting up to speed and writing some amazing new material with us for the last couple of months. And, we couldn't be more excited for people to hear these new tunes. Which is why we have Andrea's debut performance lined up for December 17th, at The Green Lantern! Check out our shows section for all the details of the debut show, as well as a couple of other sweet upcoming gigs.
Can't wait to get back at it! See you crazy kids out there!
We're sad that we didn't get to celebrate our favorite holiday on-stage with silly costumes this year. But, fear not, ye fine ladies and fellows! Great things are just around the corner!
We have gathered all the right ingredients - slime, snails, and puppy dog tales (We would never maim a puppy!) - to brew up our own dastardly concoctions in order to appease your appetites for ska sustenance! <--- Like a collection of run-on-sentence tongue twisters! And, new music! And, new merch!
As always, keep them peepers peepin', because actual legitimate announcements are hiding in the shadows!
We're a little behind, but here we go!
Big thanks to all the fans that made it out to our last few shows. Playing at Lynagh's for the first time was awesome and they were such a welcoming venue. (O'rounds 4 lyfe.) Our second year playing Cirque de Virgo was every bit as great as the first. Oh, and did we mention how awesome opening for The Toasters was?! We are so grateful to Last of the Dodo and The Green Lantern for having us out. Best night ever. We were all sore for a week.
On a sadder note, our singer Alex sang with us for the last time at our show with The Toasters. She gave us two great years of performances, near and far. Not to mention contributing to the creation of some of our favorite material to date. She will certainly be missed!
But, don't you worry your pretty, little, two-tone-loving heads. The Rough Customers ain't done yet! We have been in the throes of auditioning some extremely talented singers over the last month. So stay tuned!
Looking forward to our next dance, Lexington!
- Your friendly neighborhood ska band.
Check out the video our friend, Chuck Johnson, captured at our last show. A special duet, featuring Abby Helton, from Jocky Onassis! Wowza! That's a lot of names!
