Perfect Orange

Perfect Orange was a third-wave ska band from Knoxville, Tennessee. They formed in 2002 and disbanded in 2005.

The group never gained large national attention, although they did tour the nation three times playing small clubs and releasing independent albums. Toward the end of the band's life it began to move away from ska, and trumpet player Ben Altom described Perfect Orange as "an emo band with horns". Altom was responsible for starting Ska Weekend, the largest ska festival in the country. It is an annual tradition, taking place in Knoxville each April (Though this recent years event took place in August, and might continue the same relative date.)
