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!!"

This bio is inadequete. Take me to a bigger one!!

12/22/09-  Hello again!  Deja Vu show went pretty well, all things considered.  Unfortunately, the Atlas show has been moved by Synthetic Elements to March 26th, so we just have to wait a little longer to play with them. Anyways, hope to see you at the show on the 8th!  Should be killer!!

 

12/12/09:  Happy December!  We have a show this Friday at Deja Vu Coffee, and it is free!  It starts at 7:30!  We will also be opening for SYNTHETIC ELEMENTS at the Atlas Theater in Greeley, CO on January 30th.  We also may be playing a show with Trichome at the AGGIE on January 2nd and a show at Super Joe Specialty Coffee on January 8th, but these haven't been confirmed yet.  We will let you know, and can't wait to see you at a show!!!

11/10/09: Quick update:  We will be recording this weekend, and we are very excited!  We will try to keep you updated on the process and hopefully take some pictures.  Also, Mark started a video blog on our facebook page, so be sure to check that out here!  Also, if anyone wants us to play some shows/parties in the near future, let us know, as we probably can!  Keep your eyes open for a quality demo!

 

11/1/09- Recent goings on:  We had a crazy good time at the A-Oks Halloween party last night!  Twas amazing, and even a little scary at times.  We'd like to thank The A-Oks for putting the show on, and all the other bands for rocking so hard!  We'd like to thank the kids who put the hole through the wall as well. That was awesome.   Thanks to everyone who came to our Fort Collins and Greeley shows this month too!  

This next month, we'll be recording for a couple of days!  While we hope to get as much done as possible, we will at least have a new demo of super high quality done by then.  Hooray!

We'll try and line up a show or two for November, but will probably focus on recording. Thanks for all your support.

 

9/01/09-  HALLOWEEN SHOW ON...HALLOWEEN!!! (That's October 31st, in case you forgot).  It's gonna be awesome!!!  It's gonna be a house party at the home of The A-Oks, and you all are invited!!! YAY!!!!  We will give you the address as soon as possible!  Also, we're recording in November!  Hooray less crappy demo!!

 

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!
-Ska Skank Redemption
