About Me


Skexmas greetings to you the many Skexites and Skexettes of the world!
The 12 Days of Skexmas has now begun! Every day leading up to the 25th a new link will be unlocked on the ADVENT CALENDAR to reveal a special SkexsiTreat; including songs, games and videos. It all starts on the 14th (Day 1.)
Now thats what I call rather quite good.
Now, a bit about the history of SkeX

“The sound of feet…”
The Skeksis were formed in Naples during the Age of Enlightenment (circa 1742) as an underground resistance against the corrupt city governor, Luciano Dungleberry.
Dungleberry was involved in many nefarious schemes, such as siphoning taxpayers' money to fund his spiralling starmix addiction, pushing small children into prickly thorn bushes and forcing city architects to only design buildings in the shape of the letter ‘Q’. His burning hatred for all things Skeksi was renowned throughout the city, so much so that Skex in public became a crime punishable by death.
Despite thousands of Skeksis being hung, drawn and electrocuted in the process, the governor was eventually overthrown after a 140 year war. The Battle of Big Nothing is remembered to this day on December 25th, when legendary Skeksi leader Billy O’Hara kicked Dungleberry in the nuts and shot him in the face to bring peace to the city. Dungleberry’s followers retreated to the mountains, licking their wounds and vowing to continue his Skexicidal regime.
Today, the war goes on. Only four Skeksis survive as soldiers of fortune - Ads, Olaf, Olly and Dom. The rest have been tracked down and slaughtered by the diabolical Slaine Dungleberry; great-great-great-great grandnephew of Luciano and frontman of progressive cheesemonger-punk group The Skarves. Hailing from the dark streets of Milton Keynes, Slaine has inherited his ancestor’s thirst for blood, and has vowed to eliminate Skeksi existence once and for all (as well as rocking the mic like a badass motherfucker).
The end is nigh. The Skeksis are rising up from their underground headquarters for the final showdown with Slaine and The Skarves. Only one group will survive. Let battle commence
All other Skeksinews can be found on the WEBSITE .
You can discuss how shit great we are on OUR VERY OWN FORUM!
And now for some pictures......
