Another 3-Song EP in the Works

Bookmark and Share

Just over one year from the official release date of the Bullets for Manatees EP, Skeeter has nearly completed its next three-song EP.

“Truth be known, I hadn’t seen Austin in at least six months,” stated Petrisko. “But we had a few really solid new songs, so we just figured we’d get together and wing it. No rehearsal. No nothing. I’m happy to report, the tracks came out great!”

The new release (title T.B.D.) represents an even more eclectic side of Skeeter than listeners are accustomed to. The three tracks reflect the usual poppy sum of all parts, but with wider mood swings than usual. But, as they say … writing about music is like dancing about architecture … and you’ll understand when you hear it.

With all basic tracks now in the can, we’re happy to report that the band is currently well-along in mixing this latest effort. Once again, recorded and mixed at the band’s own Megabooty Studios.

The yet-to-be-named EP will be distributed exclusively via digital download from the band’s streaming music site. All tracks may be streamed ad infinitum whilst on the site, and downloads in a variety of audio formats, even “audiophile grade,” will be only $1 per song ($3 for the EP).

Release is slated for July 1st.

Red Lights Flashing from the EP Bullets for Manatees, 2012 Blame it all on the state I’m in … an unusual mess to be dealing with. Lights that shine steady and green now are red and rapidly flashing. Safety smells of quarantine. An ocean’s in view when the red light’s flashing. They still review in themore

The year: 1999. Convinced that most people only remember an original band based on the cover songs they do, we added a cover song to our set, Summer Breeze, by Seals & Crofts. Here are some details, to the best of my recollection: Drums — Rob Hubbard: At the time Rob didn’t own a drumkit. Luckily for him,more

Some years ago, while out at a large local night club, an inebriated, shaved-headed guy, with a teardrop tattooed on his face belched to me, “Hey, you in a band? I just found a bass player and I need someone to play guitar.” Okay, I thought. Here’s my big break. I go so excited, I wrotemore
