Soft Skeleton Halloween Special!

Dudes, I wish I could say you're guna be creeped-the-fuck out by this show, I would have loved to have added loads of creaky door sounds effects and made our voices sound like demons, but I'm lazy and so what you've got is a pretty straight up soft skeleton with a fairly high quota of death metal and tracks about zombies and satan and such. Hugues Mouton of Broken Arm makes his SS debut and Kenny makes a return, spouting even more claptrap than his previous appearance in SS4. This special was meant to feature Paul Steere, whose idea it was to have this Halloween Special, he bailed but we still had access to the music he was going to play for you.

Also, apologies for the deplorable delay in getting a new Soft Skeleton up. I won't go into why there's been such a holdup but please be rest assured that enthusiasm for this venture is not on the wane and I can guarantee that new ones will go up at regular intervals; for the next few at least. I hope you enjoy this one.

Nick Jones and Nick Bannerman have started a new fanzine called 'Niche Homo' and is available to order here. It's about x10 more worth your time than any Soft Skeleton podcast.

Soft Skeleton #7

Recorded 15.08.08. Easily the most kaleidoscopic Soft Skeleton yet, with mellow chat between Nick B. and Mel, who makes her Soft Skeleton debut, clashing with some well raucous punk, rockabilly, psych, noise and unparalleled pop. Factoid fans: this is the first SS to be recorded outside the attic bedroom of 45 Brudenell Road, Leeds, and instead was recorded on the floor of Mel's lounge, though still in Leeds. This is also the first SS to not bother with incidental music during the speaking segments, although you may occasionally hear the odd fragment of a new Ashtray Navigations track that P. Todd was recording above us. Mel occasionally does a solo thing as Ocelocelot, plays in Ashtray Navigations and is also currently running the Termite Club (est. 1983) in Leeds.

Soft Skeleton #6

The first Soft Skeleton to feature a female and also the first proper Soft Skeleton threeway - Nick Jones, Nick Bannerman and Anna Peaker teamed up for this episode with Anna being responsible for the majority of the ecstatic sounds to grace your ears during the hour and a half long session. Recorded sometime late May - sorry for the delay in getting it up, this one seemed to be totally cursed, with garagebands choosing to test my patience to the extreme. Anna doesn't play in any bands, put occasionally puts on shows in Leeds and does art stuff.
