Having had the pleasure of seeing Skinny Lister perform many times at SXSW and back home in the UK it was with great peasure that Music-News.com headed down to Cedars Courtyard at SXSW in Austin, Texas to get another dose of upbeat musical mayhem.
After the spectacular show Music-News.com caught up with vocal duo Daniel Heptinstall & Lorna Thomas to find out the latest gossip. Scroll down to see the exclusive interview below.
From day one, Skinny Lister set out to cause chaos and make friends, travelling to the four corners of the globe plying their unique rum-soaked blend of English folk and punk rock anarchy.
From Japan's Fuji Rock Festival to the desert stage of California's prestigious Coachella, via the Avalon Stage at Glastonbury and many a festival across Europe and beyond, Skinny Lister are an experience never to be forgotten.
They’ve held gigs in Land Rovers. They’ve sung while wing-walking. They’ve toured in a narrow boat. They’ve stomped and jigged on restaurant tables, in hotel elevators and in record label car parks.
And wherever they play their lusty shanties, punk folk roar-alongs and crazed whirls of love, fighting and hardcore drinking – you’ll find them out dancing with the crowd, passing around their flagon of rum or crowd-surfing to the bar to neck shots mid-song. Skinny Lister are a wild party band that you must see.
Lateset singles ‘Trouble On Oxford Street’ and 'Cathy' are both taken from the new album 'Down On Deptford Broadway’ which is out on 20th April 2015 on Xtra Mile Recordings.
