“The Untouchables” are a Soul-Mod-Ska revival band from the greater Los Angeles area. They formed in 1981 after being inspired by the Ska-Punk band “The Boxboys”. The band toured extensively throughout the 80’s with acts such as Bow Wow Wow, Fishbone, Red Hot Chili Peppers, X and many others. The band has gone thru many lineup changes, as of 2006, only vocalist Jerry Miller remains from the original lineup. Here we have a Live performance of “What’s Gone Wrong” from Daytona Beach Florida in 1986. Great song, great band! Enjoy, Placebo.

I used to love Fishbone as well. I saw them many times, and just like the Untouchables, I’d run into the guys from Fishbone around town all the time, and they were totally cool. Man, those were some fun days.

I used to check out these guys every Friday night when they were the On Klub house band. Of course that was the original lineup…1980-81 I think….great times. Why do bands carry on with one or no original members..??

danielpeterpresberge, around 81-82 the first Untouchables line-up was as a mod band. No one is alleging that this song or this incarnation of the band is “mod”.

I got into this band when I noticed that they were produced by one of the members of the Coventry ska group - the Specials. A very different bad from them but an interesting American version of ska
