Skablins is the finest ska band in Seattle and the Pacific Northwest. Our seven-member troupe fuses the fast and fun music of ska with the playful and mischievous goblins of folklore to create our one-of-a-kind sound and shape. We are about music that makes people move. We are about having fun, both on stage and off.

Formed in 2006 by Gordy, Anton, and Heather, Skablins has played all over Seattle, Portland, and, of course, Arlington. (We are the house band of the Mirkwood Public House in Arlington, Wash., after all.) With seven band members (three horns, two strings, drums, and vocals), we fuse ska and goblins to make a wilder kind of creature. We are Skablins—playing mischievously in all shapes and sounds.
