‘Wait By The Side Of The Road’ / ‘Bitching’ by Gareth Skinner | New Album, ‘Off // Axis’
Exclusive premiere of ‘Wait By The Side Of The Road’ / ‘Bitching’ by Gareth Skinner, taken from the upcoming album ‘Off // Axis,’ out February 2, 2024 via Kasumuen Records.
Gareth Skinner is renowned for playing integral roles in some of the 90s most “out there” acts in Bzark and The Ergot Derivative as well as being a go to guest musician for ARIA topping albums by Powderfinger, Bertie Blackman, Something For Kate, Gotye, Wagons and many more.
In recent years as well as being a full time member of The Sand Pebbles, Gareth Skinner has been developing his own music. The result is this debut band album, ‘Off // Axis,’ a record which cleverly crosses from elevated, grunge to Arthur Russell-esque haunting pop.
From a very wide choice of musicians Gareth has hand picked a crème of Melbourne musicians to form this band – Ben Michael X (The Sand Pebbles), Suzie Lou and Drew Caldwell (Disaster Plan / Breather Hole), Joel Silbersher and Sarah Blaby (Double Vanity) as a member of the live band.
‘Off // Axis’ will be released as a limited edition of 200, blended colour vinyl LPs with hand screen printed covers.
