2023 brings a resurgent Skinny Lister who kick started the year with an epic tour of the USA supporting friends Flogging Molly. Covering the full breadth of the country, the band have reignited their American fan base after a few years away, and plans are afoot for more shows in the latter part of the year including the Salt Dog Cruise in November.
Before that though, the band are busy writing and recording their sixth studio album. Their trademark shanty punk style will be front and centre on the new record, with the songs telling tales of live shows and travelling on the road. Due for release in the Autumn on Xtra Mile Recordings alongside a UK headline tour, further details on both will be unveiled soon.
The band’s career continues to see them passing the growing flagon of their experiences with every album and tour. They’ve led an endless parade gathering fans old and new, from the respected folk circuit to the riotous Download Festival, igniting pogoing mosh-pits at each. Over the past ten years they’ve travelled from rain-soaked London to the vast arteries of the USA, upgrading from narrow boat to Salty Dog Cruise, played huge tours across Europe and North America with Frank Turner, Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly as well as headlining themselves across festivals, sweatboxes and ever-larger venues.
Wham Bam Bodyslam exist since 2008 and they are currently based in Upper-Austria. They released their first LP “Down Here” in 2011 which they followed up with a Split-7” with the legendary Swingin’ Utters from San Francisco in 2012. Countless gigs in DIY-style so far brought them through Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Germany, Slovenia and Sweden. Among the stops were some well-known Festivals like Punk Rock Holiday, Pfingst Open Air, Rock im Dorf, Picture On and SBÄM-Fest. Another Split-7” was released in 2014 followed up by another successful tour through Europe. 2019 saw the release of a new LP called "Dancing Wrestling Burning Wood" on SBÄM-Records, produced by Manfred Herzog (Astpai, Petrol Girls). It shows the band's significant evolution and captures the raw energy of their live shows for the first time.
It’s minimalistic, energetic Folk-music with a special twist. Hints of Viennese Waltz and old style Austrian Folk clearly let their ancestry shine through the classic American Folk, Country and Punk influences. The lyrics tell stories of social differences, fear, joy, travelling and drinking.
They shared the stage with a lot of international bands including The Slackers, Swingin’ Utters, The Devil Makes Three, Larry & His Flask, The Bones, Street Dogs, Authority Zero, The Dreadnoughts, Hayseed Dixie, Possessed by Paul James, Arliss Nancy, The Mahones, The Dead Brothers, and countless others.
