~ Biography ~

In amongst the madness and fervor that has been the last two years, Melbournian four-piece Skipping Girl Vinegar have become one of the most talked about bands in Australia today. Comprising of brother/sister duo Mark and Sare Lang and their respective childhood friends Chris Helm and Amanthi Lynch, their debut single One Chance was the Australian itunes ’single of the week’, added to high-rotation on Triple J and championed by major alternative and ABC radio nationwide. The accompanying animated clip for ‘One Chance’ also received critical acclaim with Rage featuring it as their first ever ‘indie clip of the week’ and JTV featuring it as their “new clip for the week” before it then charted in their Top 20. They were highlighted in Triple J’s Oz Music month as a ‘next crop’ artist.

Following the success of One Chance and with the release of their debut album pending, Skipping Girl Vinegar were offered some serious six figure major label & indie offers to release the album in Australia. But with a groundswell of international interest in the group rivaling that at home, they made the decision to maintain their independent route and release via their own label Secret Fox & licence the album in Australia to Melbourne label Popboomerang and MGM distribution. Released in Australia Sep 13th 2008, SGV’s debut album “Sift The Noise” is testament to the band’s obsession with melody, pop-hook, and the search to stretch their song craft. A dark, warm, organic record that reflects the environments and journey of the band, it was received ecstatically by public and media alike.

Reviews across Australia were rapturous. Rip It Up Magazine in Adelaide and Rave Magazine in Brisbane both made the title track their respective ‘single of the week’ and press in Sydney, Melbourne and all other capitals were no less receptive. Drum Media called it “a classic pop sense that doesn’t get bogged in its own vision of itself” but Rip It Up Magazine were straight to the point: “In an age of downloads and ringtones, Skipping Girl Vinegar stand out from the pack”. JMAG and the Music Australia Guide (MAG) both gave the album 4.5 stars. The title track was added to high rotation on JJJ and ABC local radio nationwide in February 2009. The accompanying animated clip for ‘Sift The Noise’ also received critical acclaim with Rage featuring it as SGV's second ‘indie clip of the week’.

And so it has continued, SGV has played many of Australia's premier festivals including The Falls Festival 2008, Sunset Sounds 2009 and the Port Fairy Folk Festival... SGV have supported the likes of Bob Evans, The Lemonheads (USA), Something for Kate, Shout Out Louds (Sweden), Little Birdy, Missy Higgins, Angus & Julia Stone, Kate Miller-Heidke, Weddings Parties Anything (reunion tour) and many more.
