UK rock band Skinny Lister have announced its upcoming spring U.S. tour dates with The Bouncing Souls and The Bronx. Supporting The Bouncing Souls on their 30th anniversary tour, Skinny Lister will be featured on the run from May 2-12, including a double-header in Denver, CO on May 2 and 3, Salt Lake City, UT on May 4, Seattle, WA on May 6, Portland, OR on May 7, Berkeley, CA on May 9, San Diego, CA on May 10, Los Angeles, CA on May 11, and Santa Ana, CA on May 12.
After the tour, the band will be performing as part of the Xtra Mile Recordings night at Frank Turner’s Lost Evenings III in Boston, MA on Sunday, May 19 alongside Against Me! and Trapper Schoepp. More info can be found on the band’s official website HERE and tickets will go on sale this Friday, January 25 at 10 a.m. local time.
Additionally, the band recently released the music video for its latest single, “My Distraction.” A premier piece of procrastination-inspired power-pop goodness, “My Distraction” finds its touch points in the angular and playful sounds comparable to Blondie or The Jam at their peak. The tongue-in-cheek clip sees the band playing on the track’s themes of our tech-binging addictions. In scenes perhaps best described as GoggleBox meets Star Trek, the video finds frontwoman Lorna Thomas unexpectedly transported across space and time at the hands of her TV remote. Watch “My Distraction” on YouTube HERE.
Out on Friday, March 1 via Xtra Mile Recordings (pre-order), The Story Is… was produced and mixed by Barny Barnicott (Arctic Monkeys, The Enemy, The Temper Trap) and is a loosely-based concept album that anthologizes a series of personal vignettes inspired by a chaotic few years for the band & binds them into 14 tracks of unmistakably Skinny-sounding rock ’n’ roll.
