RECENT PRESS:
As for newer discoveries, I'm liking a Minneapolis band called SKIRT, which consists of three girls and a guy. Hear This Plane on their MySpace; Saint Vigilante has a fun retro vibe.
-USA TODAY - POP CANDY
SKIRT , a super-group of sorts featuring the leading lights from a number of other local notables (Coach Said Not To, Seymore Saves the World, Parts For All Makes). They’ll be rocking the stage of the Kitty Cat Klub with tunes from their album Heartbeat. A Flameout., which offers a pleasing mix of sugary keyboard laden pop with just enough gritty electric guitar to keep things from getting too tweeny - plus a nice dollop of boy/girl vocal harmonies
Rob Van Alstyne - METROMIX
Born of frustration and suckled on parental warnings' is how [SKIRT] describes their genesis, and this frustration comes out in interesting ways, such as stand-up drumming (as in, unseated—but it's also pretty good) and angsty lyrics ('If I die today/It's not my problem'). Catchy guitar riffs and heavy piano are this Thanksgiving act's meat and potatoes, but it's Mohn's strong voice that sets them apart from heaps of other local acts.
