When Skinny Lister are on a festival lineup, you know you’re in for some fun. They radiate energy and get everyone going with their roudy and rousing sets. And they release a new EP today, called ‘Pub Shed Bootleg’. Plus there’s a European Tour supporting Frank Turner and UK headline tour for Autumn/Winter 2024.
‘Pub Shed Bootleg’ features 6 tracks from their ‘Shanty Punk’ album, played live at the legendary Forge & Flagon pub shed earlier this year. It perfectly encapsulates the raucous fun that is a Skinny Lister gig.
Dan Heptinstall, Skinny Lister’s vocalist and guitarist, explains:
“The Forge & Flagon has been a big part of the Skinny Lister story from our very beginning and has always remained some kind of spiritual home for the band. We named our first album after it and have enjoyed so many great and often messy nights in The Forge over the years. We recently shot the video for our single ‘Company Of The Bar’ there – which perfectly captures the atmosphere of the place.
As Shanty Punk was largely made as an album to be played live – it’s great to take these six tracks and hear them in a live but intimate setting, giving the tracks an even more beer-soaked rowdy atmosphere and a fresh dimension. It has also been a great way to touch base with Skinny Lister’s origins and first inspirations, which remains a part of the band’s core DNA to this day.“
The release comes just before a summer of festival performances at 2000 Trees Festival, Vainstream and Angeliter Open Air Festival before touring across Europe supporting Frank Turner. They then return to the UK for their traditional end-of-year headline tour bonanza, finishing at the Scala in Kings Cross
