Skulker single, 'Hej'
Skulker are a pop-rock band based in Sydney. I think they originally came from around the Epping area. They formed in 1994 whilst they were all at high school with each other and I think they might be currently gearing up to release something new or at least start playing shows again soon.
ORIGINAL BAND MEMBERS
Greer Skinner - vocals, guitar
Annette Horada - bass, vocals
Naomi Battah - guitar, vocals
Angela Blackshaw - drums
Naomi left not too long ago, somewhere between 2004 and 2005, and has been replaced by Gregory on guitar.
The band started out playing around Sydney and were signed to Chatterbox records after independently releasing their own EP. This led to their debut album 'Too Fat For Tahiti' - apparently a reference to what a club owner once told the band. They then released a string of catchy singles, some of which got good airplay on Triple J and followed up with a somewhat less successful album 'The Double Life' in 2003. They've also done their fair share of touring, supporting Area 7 in 2001 in NSW, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia, and embarked on various other interstate tours.
Their website appears to be getting an overhaul at the moment, which is what leads to me to think they might be making some sort of a 'comeback' in the near future.
