The Skel e tones - Dead at Amyl's Nightspace

One of my favorite Brisbane bands from the mid 80's
The Skel e tones were one of the many bands from
here that did the move to Sydney, did reasonably
well, got on the Cooking with George JJJ box set.
They should have made it bigger , anyway via their
facebook page this wonderful 7 track live recording
and quiet a few others can be found.
So shake dem bones and get along to their page

Skel-e-tones -Shake Them Bones Cassette 1984

Loved this band back when I was a young fella,
I saw them play a few times, always a great time
and at one of these gigs I guess I picked up this
cassette. Which I flogged in my VDub beetle.
Sunny Day is a fantastic track one I never get
tired, I think that these last 3 posts are all the
released music from the band, one of
Brisbane's legends. Its a shame they didn't get
to do an album.

Skel-E-tones - Pothole In My Heart B/W So Much To Say

It seems we all have a Skel-E-Tones story to tell,
Mine next but Matt has ripped their 7" single
and has this to say about the band.
Thanks Matt

"... the skeletones were a mid '80's rockingbilly
brisband. Surprise surprise, they moved to sydney
in 1986 but failed to kick on like many believed
they would/should. They managed to score a few
tracks on the (still sydney-based) 2JJJ compilation
album "cooking with george", put together by beloved
presenter george wayne, and had built a strong live
following. This single was recorded in 1986.
They went their separate ways in 1987.
(no idea what ever became of this singles cover
- it did feature different shots of the band in front
of a myriad of skeletones posters)..."

Skel-E-tones - cooking with george

Not to be confused with the recent cali band skeletones - the Skel-e-tones were a Brisbane band circa 1984-86 that were amazing. The song "Wild Youth" from this collection is one of those rare songs you can play 20 times in a row and still feel like hitting the repeat button.

This ep is from the Cooking With George box set of 1984 that featured 11 bands from around the nation. The flip of this ep features Huxton Creepers.

Skel-e-tones songs - Auto Go Go, Never Never, and Wild Youth.

Huxton Creepers songs - Slow Attack and Happy Days.
