Free download: Yea Big & Kid Static & The Mae Shi “Run to the Facts (Skibunny’s undisputed truth remix)”
24/6/09
So here’s what happened: we already loved THE MAE SHI’s “Run to your Grave” and you may have seen Tanya joining the guys on stage a few times in Scotland, Ireland and even in the US (scroll down for video!). Anyway, this record was a split 7″, the flip side being a sweet remix by YEA BIG & KID STATIC called “Run to the Facts”

BBC Radio 1 Introducing with Huw Stephens
“For the second hot day of hot music busy-ness, I start with Northern Ireland’s Skibunny; promoters, remixers, dj’s and a mighty fine band. They make a kind of disco-shoegaze sound, exhubarant and exploding into feisty tunes that sound good. Later, General Fiasco and Fighting with Wire will play, showcasing the wealth of NI’s current new bands.”
The Irish Times, On the Record blog
“I’ve known of Mark and Tanya for many years as Belfast indie club DJs and promoters, but didn’t realise until recently that they were also two-thirds of a band called Skibunny. Fine, top-drawer crunchy electro-rock with big choruses which shout in your ear about a party going on in a house six streets away.”
Toronto Independent Music awards ‘must see’ bands!
South by South AWESOME!

Then we move on to New York and down to awesome Austin, Texas for SXSW, where we will fit in as many shows as possible.

New Remixes for 2009!
29/01/09
We’re currently starting/in the middle of/about to remix two amazing bands. The beautiful Dag For Dag (Saddle Creek, and pictured below) and the thundering And So I Watch You From Afar (Smalltown America). Usually we only use the acapellas of a track for a remix but in the case of ASIWYFA, given that they’re mainly instrumental, we’re contemplaiting using their cowbell track as well. More cowbell!(or in 2009 should that be less cowbell?)
