Ahoy! Two great videos form the winter tour have surfaced on YouTube. And for those dilly dallying - we're down to the last 200 CDs of the new album - get it quick...
Check out the new songs "Redemption" and "Reunited" live...
Thanks for the fantastic year! Since March things have been going great and the boys are back in their stride once again. To all that have come to the shows this year, a huge thanks. And to all that have bought 'Up Close & Personal'...well you can hear it for yourselves. Skin will be back stronger than ever in 2010...you wait and see!
Skinfreak wishes you all a Happy Christmas and a rockin' New Year!
Skin have well and truly rocked the city of Nottingham (ok...bad pun) with the final gig of their 2009 Tour. The guys have been knocked back by the response from the fans, and have been having the time of their lives on stage. As Nev explains every night, it's you, the fans who make Skin and always have done. And the boys get the message: Skin are well and truly back.
Fans have travelled across the globe to be at the gig, and new friends have been found as a result of Skin's triumphant Download '09 set. A big thank you to all that came out to see the gigs.
A big thumbs up is deserved by Toby Jepson for the sterling support slot, and the frequent hi-jinx on stage for 'Unbelievable' with Skin. And to the rag tag merch team of Heulwen, Donna, Jules, Joe and Jamie - top marks! A great tour all round and a huge thanks to everyone who came. Once the boys recover, we'll have some sound words of wisdom and an idea about what 2010 brings for all us Skinfreaks...
The Boat That Rocked aka the Bristol Thekla was a sight for sore eyes last night. Toby Jepson started kicking up dust and the night took off from there. Despite the early finish (due to the Venue's club night), it was a damn fine gig. The boys were in fine form and were really enjoying themselves on stage. The crowd responded accordingly and more than a few Skin newbies were heard saying how strong the energy coming off the stage was.
The Merchandise Crew were having a good time too...but enough about them...ON TO MANCHESTER!
Thanks to every one who pre-ordered "Up Close And Personal"! For those who have not yet got your copy, mail order is now your only route as the tour pickups are now over. Check out the shop for more info!
Toby Jepson has decided that his set each night will be a full acoustic set of Little Angels material!!
Toby's website is asking the fans, what they would like to hear at these shows. Toby will personally look at the results and make sure that the ones with the highest votes get included.
The new limited edition CD and DVDs are now available for pre-order at the Skin Shop. Each item is limited to only 1000 signed copies, and will be released for this December's UK tour.
Please do not order if you cannot pick these up directly. In order to pickup the items, you must retain and print your PayPal payment notification and bring this with you to the venue. Any orders not collected at the chosen event will be refunded and the items put back into stock. Please contact us here if you have any queries.
Ignore all the above! It's nonsense! The new CD and DVD will now be available after the UK tour, so anyone who cannot make the gig can now get the new album through the post. However, if you do want the album earlier and can make one of the gigs, make sure that you select the free pre-order shipping entry!
Up Close & Personal, the new Skin album will be available to pre-order exclusively on shop.skinfreak.co.uk this weekend! But there's a twist! As the album is limited to only 1000 copies, they will only be available for pickup during the December tour.
Depending on the outcome of the tour, there maybe additional copies made available, but for the moment this is a once only chance to get hold of the album. Stay tuned!
The boys are making fantastic progress on the new album. It's shaping up nicely considering they are squeezing every last drop of time out of thier normal lives to ge it finished. Both Myke and Nev are in the studio every weekend, and Andy will be flying in later this month to lay down the bass tracks. And thanks to the wonder of the internet, Dicki is busy recording his own tracks in L.A. with tracks being emailed to Myke in the studio! Truely an international effort!
The album is call "Up Close & Personal" and will be a mixture of old and new, all with an acoustic flavour. We have 12 songs including 4 new tracks - plus 8 Skin classics:
Look but don't touch
Tower of strength
Take me down to the river
Face to face
Juliet
I feel for you
Tripping
Falling
And the best news? It'll be availble exclusively on this winter's UK tour! The only place to get the album will be on the tour dates. When the tour wraps up, we'll be looking to offer it from the website but only 1000 copies will be printed, so you'd best get in there fast. The album will be priced at £10 for it's limited print run.
