Skinny Lister
Skinny Lister are a British band formed in London in 2009. They were a five-piece band until October 2013 when a drummer was added. In August 2022 they returned to being a five-piece after Sam Brace left and the decision was made not to replace him. They are signed to Xtra Mile Recordings, and were previously signed to Sunday Best Records in the UK, SideOneDummy Records in the US, and Uncle Owen Records in Japan.
The band were formed in London in 2009 having met through folk clubs in Greenwich. Prior to forming Skinny Lister, Dan Heptinstall, Sam Brace and Dan Gray had played together in Indie band The Alps. The band name is usually said to be taken from the nickname of someone Dan Heptinstall was at school with.
Dan Gray left the band in the summer of 2012 and was replaced with Michael Camino from Hawaii, US. In the spring of 2013 Sam Brace left the band and was replaced by Andy "Slim" Black; he later rejoined. In the autumn of 2013 the band expanded to a six-piece with the addition of drummer Dave Neale.
During their first year the band put three tracks on iTunes – "Plough & Orion", "December", and "The Kite Song".
During 2010 the band put out a two CD-only EPs: Grand Union EP which was recorded on a canal boat as they toured down the Grand Union Canal network and the Homemade Tour EP recorded at friends and family residences as the band toured their hometowns.
In 2011, the band played more festivals than anyone else in UK and were officially crowned 'Hardest Working Band in UK' by PRS and less officially by the Evening Standard.
Skinny Lister appeared at SXSW at the beginning of 2012 and then staged a short tour of the US in April. During this time they auditioned for SideOneDummy Records and Kevin Lyman in Los Angeles, California in the record label's car park and were immediately offered a place on the 2012 Vans Warped Tour. The band signed up and appeared playing three times a day much to audience delight and critical acclaim, Rolling Stone highlighting the band in a review of the tour.
On return from the United States the band scheduled a number of dates in Germany including Haldern Pop and Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg, and a UK tour in October to coincide with the release of double AA side single, "Forty Pound Wedding" and "Seventeen Summers". Before the band left for the US, they appeared on Terry Wogan's Sunday morning BBC Radio 2 show.
