SKIBUNNY - THE BAND / THE DJs / THE AWESOME PARTIES!
For live/DJ bookings email djs@skibunnyclub.co.uk
From John Peel faves to globe trotting DJs turned prolific remixers, SKIBUNNY’s Mark & Tanya have come full circle and now present their live band. With one eye on tunes and one on the dancefloor, the music is dark electronic pop with an uplifting heart, sitting somewhere between JOY DIVISION, FOURTET and THE CURE. As DJs, Skibunny have toured across Japan, USA, Europe & UK and appeared at festivals like Glastonbury (Dance East), Oxegyn (MTV stage), T In The Park and Rockness.
As a live band, they’ve played alongside bands such as Holy F**K, Bonde Do Role and David Holmes (Tanya contributes vocals to 2 tracks on his recent LP The Holy Pictures) and they've released two sold out 7” singles.
As producers, they’ve remixed people like Paloma Faith, Tilly and the Wall, Forward Russia and Robots in Disguise and as promoters they have been responsible for the debut Belfast shows for bands like The Go! Team, James Yuill, & Kidda. All this has led to the NME calling them "Belfast's no.1 remixers, promoters and commotion causers, they do something pretty special to the crowd" NME (sept08)
In March 2009, Skibunny showcased at Canadian Music Week in Toronto, and were picked by the Toronto Independent Music Awards as one of the “must-see” bands of the festival. At SXSW in Austin, Texas, they played a massive 6 shows, yet still finding time for Tanya to do a bit of singing on stage with LA band The Mae Shi! Back in the UK, they played to a capacity crowd at The Camden Crawl, with Radio 1’s Huw Stephens twittering like mad about their performance. Then they disappeared into the studio, emerging only to play or DJ at a few key festivals, including a main stage DJ slot at BESTIVAL, between Doves and Fleet Foxes, plus they went back to the US to play & DJ at CMJ in New York. By the end of 2009 the debut LP was complete and they ended the year with a fun UK tour opening for HAR MAR SUPERSTAR.
Skibunny continue remixing away and are included on new releases by Dag For Dag (Saddle Creek), TILLY AND THE WALL (Moshi Moshi) and ASIWYFA (Smalltown America). Stay tuned for EP & album release info!
PRESS BBC Radio 1 Introducing with Huw Stephens For the second hot day of hot music busy-ness, I start with Northern Ireland's Skibunny; promoters, remixers, dj's and a mighty fine band. They make a kind of disco-shoegaze sound, exhubarant and exploding into feisty tunes that sound good. Later, General Fiasco and Fighting with Wire will play, showcasing the wealth of NI's current new bands.
The Irish Times, On the Record blog I’ve known of Mark and Tanya for many years as Belfast indie club DJs and promoters, but didn’t realise until recently that they were also two-thirds of a band called Skibunny. Fine, top-drawer crunchy electro-rock with big choruses which shout in your ear about a party going on in a house six streets away.
Belfast's no.1 remixers, promoters and commotion causers... they do something pretty special to the crowd.NME, Sept 2008
It's a good 'un. A sort of Daft Punk-lite affair, it's a playful, gentle, sparkly and spacey number that's one of those rare dance songs that would work equally well as a euphoric floorfiller or a blissful chillout number.HOTPRESS
4/5 It’s not often you hear a song that is both simultaneously laidback yet uplifting, but Skibunny have managed it with their new single Remote Control.... Everyone will like this, whether they’re looking for something relaxing to chill to, or a cute little number to get them moving.THE SKINNY
4/5 - Floating comfortably somewhere between The Orb and Four Tet, Skibunny’s ‘Aah Ooh’ hovers with an air of contentment upon a cloud of euphoria. GIGWISE
4/5 – fresh and breezy.DMC UPDATE
Delicate insanely catchy pop single that will kick into your memory banks and not shift, in the same way that bloody whistling song by those swedes, peter bjorn and john did last year, though thankfully, this song is lot more enjoyable.PLAYLOUDER
