Skyler King T-shirts Availible Friday! Only $10, and if your mega cool or one of our friends, we might just give ya one..
The Skyler King fuses the dynamics of psychedelic, rock, folk and electronica into its own unique sound. The electric upright bass played with a bow through numerous effects accompanied by the complex layering of multiple keyboard sounds adds the perfect balance to the simplistic folk rock driven acoustic guitars all brought together by the badass chops of 'the mofe' - a legendary drummer that the band discovered deep in the jungles of Africa. Raised by wolves, the mofe spent his life doing nothing but playing tribal beats and smoking opium. He is now the ground floor of what we can call 'the skyler king' highrise. - except when he f**ks up cellphone hippy"...(

I always figured your first t-shirt to be you with a oversize cobra arond your neck with a def leopard t-shirt on with def crossed out and your surrounded by like ten chicks that all put out and theres a guitar somewhere in the backround.
yo whoever runs this thing. this band my brother used to play in is trying to get a show in philly on november 1st. why this date, one may never know. but theyre pretty cool dudes heres their myspace
I'd like to start this off by saying one thing: IF YOU DON'T LIKE GUITAR, IF YOU HAVE A FAMILY HISTORY OF CARDIAC INFIRMITY, OR IF YOU ARE IN ANY WAY OF A WEAK DISPOSITION, HIT THE BACK BUTTON RIGHT AWAY.
But who doesn't like guitar, right? I don't think you understand. Jimi Hendrix played guitar. Groucho Marx played guitar. I think Winston Churchill might have played guitar. What I play is something different.
Picture a Verdi opera: 3 hours of music, some of beautiful and ennobling, at times piquant and subtle, other times dramatic and inspiring. Take those three hours of music, those thousands of musical notes, and compress them into 4 measures of incomprehensible speed, delivered with earth-shaking finesse and a raucous disregard for any physiological limit to human auditory perception. I cannot stress this enough: I will play guitar so fast your face will melt.
The last girlfriend I had was dearer to me than anything that doesn't have steel strings and pickups. It's with a heavy heart that I must confess that she met a tragic demise. I sat her down to perform for her, as she had never heard me play. Within mere seconds of the furious and almost satanically fast deluge of musical notes, she burst into flames and was reduced to a smoldering pile of ash. I have grieved for 7 months, and now it is time to seek a hardier companion.
I seek a woman of no flimsy construction who can tolerate the cyclone of death that my guitar will unleash upon her. Think about the scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark when the Holy Spirit (or whatever the hell that poorly rendered gaseous conglomerate was supposed to be) ravaged the Nazis by melting their flesh from their mortal bones. This is what my guitar playing does, except there is only vapor left, no bones. I cannot stress this enough: I will play guitar so fast the Earth will be rent asunder and armies of hellions will spew forth to wreak havoc upon the human population.
