Active since about 2000 AD - present, Cosmic Ska Child are first and foremost a popular live band who have been very enthusiastically received by audiences at a diverse array of events ranging from ''Ska Fest 2000'' (with Royal Rumble and The Offbeats) through to the ''New Zealand Witches' Ball 2005'' (with [[Disjecta Membra]], AVOTOR, [[Aether]] and The WBC).<br><br>
  
''Ska Child'' play mostly covers of classic 1970s reggae, dub and ska, but have also been known to perform memorable reworkings of songs by [[Wendyhouse]] and [[The Shrugs]] at [[Circle Jerk 2005]] and have made many fans from audiences outside of the ska/reggae genres.  With most members having other, more "serious" originals projects, other than booking live shows CSC do not tend to be overly pro-active about promoting their "profile" with biographical press information and so forth.  Nonetheless, perhaps by virtue of the esteemed and talented personalities involved, they have secured a reputation as a significant factor in the Htown music scene, untainted by the usual stigma of being a "covers band".<br><br>
