Dear Skeleton Key friends:
Out of the ashes of our beloved band, we’ve started a new one called Knifethrower

https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100065568456647&mibextid=LQQJ4d

It’s Erik and Ben and Bob and two fabulous saxophone players, Jonah and Stefan.
We will be playing our first show with Eugene Hutz’s (of Gogol Bo****lo) new band “Puzzled Panther” at Baby’s All Right on February 21st.
Doors: 9pm
Knifethrower: 10pm
Puzzled Panther: 11pm
We hope to see you there.

In less awful news, it's been 10 years since we released our album "Gravity is the Enemy" in 2012, which won the Independent Music Award for "Best Eclectic Album" 2013. Special thanks to our friends at https://arcticrodeorecordings.com for releasing the album--thanks guys!!

Skeleton Key's 'Fantastic Spikes Through Balloon' - an odd classic | Treble On their 1997 album 'Fantastic Spikes Through Balloon', Skeleton Key delivered a major label album far too interesting for the mainstream

Noisey

In the last week of March 1997, with The Wallflowers' "One Headlight" topping Billboard's Modern Rock chart, Capitol Records quietly released one of the noisiest, most wired and willfully perverse major label debuts of the year from a band called Skeleton Key.

Obtainium LP availability alert from our pals at Arctic Rodeo Recordings:

This version of SKELETON KEY's Obtainium on pink vinyl has been sold out for quite a while. We have received several returns which we will make available at our shop very soon.
