Our old news entries!!

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!

01/02/09-  Happy New Year!  Just a reminder, we'll be kicking things off with three shows in January!  We've returned from our writing binge, and we'll be releasing a lot of new material at the shows throughout the month!  At least two new songs should be ready by our show at the R&R Grill on January 11th, and hopefully a few more up to stuff by the show on the 28th!  For Northern Colorado people, don't forget our first show in Greeley on January 17th! Hope to see you there!
