WHO ARE YOU GUYS?
We are the Ska Skank Redemption. While our base music is Ska-Punk, we try not to be limited by the genre, dipping into other influences, including but not limited to: Jazz, Jam Bands, Funk, Classical, Classic Rock, Blues, Punk, and the occasional dose of Death Metal. With the company of a few music majors, as well as several other strong musicians, we take great pride in the quality of our music, and always strive to make each song better than the last. Despite what some may say, we honestly and truly do write from the heart. Our hearts just happen to be loaded with funny stories, video games, partying, disgust for poor musicianship, and a certain love of the sea. We have stuck by our refusal to follow the pessimism of the "scene" today, because really, things could be worse. You could have your head ripped off by a bear with one gentle swipe, or hell, something could be wrong with the G-diffuser! But we pledge that when you find yourselves in that sort of a situation, we'll be right behind you, yelling "Use the boost to chase! Use the Boost to chase!!"

07/05/09- Hello people in world land! Here's what we've been up to!
We
recently played a big party for about 5 hours, and got some money that
should help us record! We're excited, and we hope to have pretty close
to an album recorded by the end of the summer! And yes, the quality
will be BALLS better than our previous recordings!
We have
what's looking to be three shows lined up this month! We're first
playing at the Old Curtis St. Tavern with Ashley Said Yes! and Minor
Authority. Then, we'll (hopefully) be playing at the Oriental on July
24th!! And the next day, we'll be having a pool party at Mark's house
with The A-Oks, as well as Zach and the Big Daddies! It should be
awesome! Hope to see you all there!
In other news, Kyle is
making a crazy-awesome Jazz album with a bunch of super good Jazz
musicians! He's even going to be able to put one of his original jazz
tunes on the album! Go Kyle!!
Royal, Corey, and Mark got dinner
together one time, and this dude asked Royal to be in his metal band,
so it could be that Royal will be part of a metal band as well! Go
Royal!
Mark got a new Bass trombone. It's really heavy, but should crank out some awesome low tones at the shows this month!
We've got a Twitter now. Yes, we finally caved. You can follow us at @skaskankcolo
Mark
is also rooting for team Garmin-Slipstream in the Tour De France, as
Lance has seriously won enough. Bring the title to Colorado! Follow
Slipstream on Twitter @teamslipstream
Also, if you're in the Boulder area, be sure to watch the Tour at our favorite coffee shop, The Cup! @thecupboulder
Also,
we'd really appreciate some help in booking shows outside of the front
range area! If you live in a neighboring state or clear on the other
side of Colorado, we'd love to play a show for you guys!
Anyways, until next time!

5/23/09- The band has been playing quite a few private shows, learning some new tunes, and recording some old ones. We know you want us to come play gigs again. We know. We'll be back before you know it. Fear not, my friend.
In other news, we have T-Shirts!!!! We'll be selling them at most of our gigs, so buy one! Or buy more than one and sell them for gross profit! We don't care! If you're much too impatient, buy one here.
