Skinner Tickets

After making some serious noise with his widely-praised ‘Geek Love’ EP, Irish No-wave provocateur Skinner alongside his eagerly-awaited debut album ‘New Wave Vaudeville’, showcased by the lively focus single “Sour Milk”.

Skinner is the project of the Dublin-based multi-instrumentalist, singer and producer Aaron Corcoran who was inspired by the New York No Wave scene in the late ‘70s/early ‘80s for this debut record. ‘New Wave Vaudeville’ references the New Wave Vaudeville music variety freak show that took place at the 57 Club in New York from 1978 to 1983. The club was known for its free-form art shows, a debaucherous wild riposte to creeping commerciality of modern culture of the time, an era that perfectly reflects the rambunctious nature Skinner has brought to this new collection.

Skinner’s debut album takes inspiration from the outsiders in alternative music who populate the greatest hits of No Wave, dance-punk, Latin disco and post-punk genres -  Liquid Liquid, A Certain Ratio, Kid Creole And The Coconuts and James Chance And The Contortions to name a few.

Skinner and his five-piece band including saxophonist have played have performed at numerous festivals such as The Great Escape, Ireland Music Week, Beyond The Pale, All Together Now, Other Voices, the Galway Fringe Festival and Watt’en Schlick-festival to name a few and recently supported Lime Garden, Dope Lemon, Algiers, Bambara, The Wedding Present and Silverbacks.
