EL STINKO! Rawk video... SKOOKUM played the Pic Pub before it shut its doors and footage of our set was shot. The film footage is from a locally produced indie flick called "Revenge Inc" which sadly has had a microcosmic release (meaning...hasn’t really seen the light of day despite original intentions due to funding). An early mix of El Stinko, off the Big Phat Sounds album is featured in the soundtrack.
So with little fanfare, very little plot line and a whole lotta "the Stink"....check out our new/old video....EL STINKO!

BIG PHAT SOUND: WOW!!! MORE Skookum 2009 at Amberjacks Taphouse in Surrey!
In the beginning... there was a catastrophic BOOM... and, without the use of an epidural, SKOOKUM was born.Together,
they drew up the SKOOKUManifesto: No pretenses. Big Phat Sounds. Good Times.
Rock & Roll! Skookum is a Chinook term for big, strong, powerful and swift. Most
know it as slang for "Big n'
tough" or impressive. The band's sound? Powerful guitar riffs, big
grooves with a walloping vocal punch! They
sound SKOOKUM!
Of course, making great music is serious
business for this group who claim creativity
and solid laughs as their mantra.
Skookum simply doesn't feel it has to write gloomy material for it to rock. Look
at the success of ..Queens.. of the Stone Age,
Tool and Faith No More as examples of fresh and original heavy rock that
doesn't always dwell on the negative.
See
them live, that's another thing altogether. Their unique collection of
anthems separates Skookum from the chaff of the multitude of bands. These guys engage their audience with witty banter
setting up some outrageous and memorable songs, like "Bender"(drink till yer sick), "Great to See
You" (but I wouldn't wanna be you)
and their staple live classic "the Team Canada Montage": a semi-cover
song that will never get played on commercial radio but has them rollin' in the
aisles and patriotically punching fist to air! ....
.. ..
Skookum has played some of the finest venues in Metro Vancouver like
UBC Thunderbird Stadium, Richards on Richards, Cheers, Amberjacks, Pub 340, the
Bourbon and the Roxy. They've shared the stage with Moka Only, Sweatshop Union,
the Black Halo's & Todd Kerns and were featured at New ..Music.. West 2007.
Like no other band (except for singer Vanman's idols in KISS), Skookum embellishes their tales of life in
an indie rock band with their ongoing comic series, SKOOKOMIX. It's a semi-autobiographical cross
between Spinal Tap & KISS with some fantasy thrown in for good measure. The
first issue was release in conjunction with their debut album, Big Phat Sounds. ....
The first single from their debut, "El Stinko", was a featured YouTube hit and one of ....Canada....'s most watched rock videos
in February 2008 at 20,000 plus views! The track was also featured in a
Vancouver-based indie film titled Revenge Inc.
In 2009, SKOOKUM has released their 2nd album, Rockstar Dreamers.....
.. ..
Great riff rockin tunes, live shows, hot videos and even comics!All from one
band?!?! Don't just take them at their word! SKOOKUM backs up all the talk
with the walk of www.skookumrock.com, their official website, fully
operated and updated by the band themselves.....
