"BRINK's 10th Year of New Music Revelations"

Up for the “New Artist” and “Electronic” CEAs this year, The Skeetones’ organic Electronica (with influence from Dupstep, Downtempo, Hip Hop and Acid House) has garnered the band regional attention (they’ve already been invited to a few big fests based on word-of-mouth acclaim). Though certainly an Electronic act, don’t expect two dudes hiding behind laptops. This is a real band (drums, bass, guitar, keys) with an Electro base from which they build improvised jams. Check the band’s site for a link to a free download of their Techtonics EP. - City Beat - Cincinnati, OH

Bio

Skeetones bring a new generation of music to the Midwest's electronic landscape. While programmed tracks lay the foundation for songwriting, the music comes to life during the band's energetic performances. From chopping acapella samples to wobbling bass lines, Skeetones create on-the-fly remixes of their own songs without using a single loop or backing track. They continue to emphasize their live take on sounds such as acid house, hip hop, downtempo, and dubstep, all while keeping sight of their multi-instrumentalist and improvisational foundation. They have shared stages throughout the Midwest with bands such as Pnuma Trio, Umphrey's McGee, Flying Lotus, The Macpodz, Big Gigantic, and Papadosio. This cultivated ensemble continues to accomplish the seemingly impossible task of entertaining the thinking mind and the dancing feet alike, leaving listeners reformulating their conception of live electronic music.
