You have to wonder if Skanukkah is a holiday in search of a Middle East pop punk fiesta. Nevertheless, the stars appear to have aligned, with a local blowout featuring Poor Jeremy, The Takeaways, A Guy Named Guy, RF30, and OFC666. Five bands on the fifth day of Hanukkah. The coincidences never end.
