SKITCH

About Me


We support the following organizations and companies. Check 'em out!
Skitch has progressed through a series of incarnations, the most recent of which taking on a darker and perhaps more energetic sonic and lyrical palette than those previous. Once more subtle than overtly challenging, more broody than bawdy, Skitch is poised at the boundary of its own voice. Unapologetically pop--a dash of americana here, spanglings of rock there, all glazed in generous smatterings of hooks--yet conspicuously strange in its instrumentation and song structures, Skitch looks forward to the challenges posed by new projects and different venues, and to the possibilities they represent.Skitch is (in no particular order): Dave (keys), company clown and Beatles fan--perhaps the most creative and open-minded of the Skitches; Tony (the bass), future master of religious studies (western religions that is), professional drummer in another life, speaker of dead languages, and notoriously quiet--the "musical moment of reason" in the band; IanFlux (guitar/vox), metal man, anti-establishmentarian, and certain winner of the Skitch band "best hair" award on an average day--his business card would read "Ian Skitch. Director of the Ministry of Public Relations;" Sarah (lead vox), actress, consummate artist, fashionista, and hopelessly cute--Band Director/ Project Coordinator; and Chris (drummer), U2 fan, voracious reader, and self-professed dork of the band.
