notes
The Skinnyz play straight up, seventies power-pop rock and roll, taking an up all night, foot stomping, ever living, never stopping, booze fueled approach to making music.
Songwriter Mike Slavin (guitar, vocals, synth), Jimmy Russell (guitar, synth), Scott Dewitt (bass) and Dan Canty (drums), met in the music program at the University of Oregon in 2004 and started the Skinnyz in 2007. In January of 2008, The Skinnyz recorded and self-released their debut album, UP!, a strident rock and roll record with classic rock and blues influences bleeding all over the recording. UP! exemplifies The Skinnyz ability to return to rock’s roots and to graft themselves in as a band that sounds as if they have been playing rock music their whole lives. Slavin’s songwriting, raspy voice and “get up!” lyrics, coupled with the band’s unadulterated approach to making rock music give the band pop appeal without sacrificing their rock and roll edge.
In April of 2008 the Skinnyz signed with Portland Record Label, Bladen County Records and are now back in the studio recording their sophmore album to be released in late 2008.
