SKEGSS

EW DATES AND ALL AGES SHOWS ADDED IN MELBOURNE AND HOBART

Skegss have today announced final additional tour dates for their ‘Australian Tour ‘19’ this June/July.

Due to overwhelming demand the band have added four brand new dates listed below. Presale tickets are available now (for fans signed up to the bands mailing list) until 8am Wednesday March 6^thbefore they are open to the general public at 9am AEDT Wednesday March 6^th.

After a triumphant showing in this year’s triple j Hottest 100 and a stint touring the country nationally this summer with Laneway Festival, Skegss are hitting the road once more in support of their debut ARIA #2 album My Own Mess and its new single and video Road Trip.

With previous songs Up In The Clouds (#11), Smogged Out (#71), Stop (#173) and album title track My Own Mess (#193) all appearing in the top 200 tracks voted by triple j listeners, it’s time for a fifth serving with the next track sung by Toby Cregan, offering some colourful reflection about a different kind of trip.

Directed by Kai Neville on rustic old gear, Road Trip’s official video is a fitting visual accompaniment to one of My Own Mess’ more subdued moments.

“I jumped in the van with good pals Skegss for two days while they were on tour. In theme with Toby’s lyrics I felt 16mm would fit the track. Shot mostly handheld on my Bolex h16. It’s an older camera, you can barely see through the viewfinder. It’s small and kinda looks cool so was perfect to run around back stage and throw in front of torched fans. Not a very invasive camera rig so helps keep a candid shooting approach. Love how the 16mm rushes look and the final cut came out.”  – Kai Neville

Of the upcoming tour, the band offer: “We are really excited to come and play our dream venues around Australia. Dropping our debut album last year My Own Mess everything has been crazy. We are taking our friends Aaron Gocs, Totty and Mini Skirt on the road. See yas there!”

Signalling the beginning of something big, today SKEGSS have unleashed their brand new track Up In The Clouds, ahead of their Groovin’ The Moo dates which kick off this Friday in Wayville, SA.

Up In The Clouds is the first proper taste of new material since SKEGSS’ April 2017 EP Holiday Food and is supported by a new video for the song which you can view here.

The band says:

“The song’s about being unsure but realising it’s OK to have uncertainty and it’s regular. Some things will always be left uncertain. As soon as we figured that out we made a song about it.”

Taking the song out nationally, Up In The Clouds will further the bands live reputation, of which they have made a name for themselves; with energetic live performances garnering praise from The Music for their “infectious” on-stage chemistry and Moshcam who asserted they “seem to have some sort of hypnotic effect over their fans.”

“It’s been about a year since we have gotten to do a major city tour with new music so we are looking forward to getting on the road for The Up In The Clouds Tour”,says Benny Reed.

SKEGSS are Ben Reed (vocals, guitar), Toby Cregan (bass, vocals) and Jonny Lani (drums), three prolific performers who have charmed listeners with their warm Garage-Punk sound, selling out shows all across the country. The band has just wrapped a sold out No Future regional tour which saw them sell-out across the country. During the summer of 2018, the band reissued their Holiday Food EP on ultra-limited blue vinyl, for a handful of indie stores only and featured a brand new, vinyl-only track. Just like their previous tour dates, this EP sold out immediately. Capping off summer 2018 was of course the inclusion of Got On My Skateboard at #39 on triple j’s Hottest 100.

With an album set to be released this year through Ratbag Records, a UK tour which includes appearances at The Great Escape and Dot to Dot festivals, a single tour in June and an upcoming Splendour in the Grass set – this is just the beginning of a very crazy year for SKEGSS.
