About The Local Skank

Skank: A rhythmic dance performed to reggae or ska music, characterized by bending forward, raising the knees, and extending the hands

The Local Skank:An all girl (and one guy) skank band originating out of New Orleans, characterized by their ska, dub, and reggae style of music.

It was a fateful day when the ladies (and gent) of the Local Skank united in the summer of 2008. Coming from Ohio, Massachusetts, Texas, and Louisiana, these ladies (and gent) formed together to create an unique group previously lacking from the New Orleans music scene. With veteran rock musicians to their stylistically different backgrounds, including punk, goth, applachian dance, hip-hop, indie rock, and ska, The Locak Skank has worked towards creating their own musical dogma.

Recently, The Local Skank has finished their first EP, "Songs for a Bromance," recorded by the magical and talented Lewis D'Aubin in the COG Secret Lab.
Naming themselves after their favorite style of dance, The Local Skank has been bringing a distinctive perspective to New Orleans and will continue to do so for as long as they can rock!
