What a fantastic time we had at Koast FM on Weds Feb 26th.

We invaded the studios as part of our build up for the promo of the release of our 7th single "Dorian's Going Grey"

Mr Scurf aka Garry Scurfield let us takeover his Koast Train show for 2 and half hours, talking all things Skapones, playing our fave tracks from other artists.

It was pure unaldultered chaos and brilliant fun. Our keyboards man Steve failed the giant jelly coca cola bottle sweet eating challenge but it was hilarious to watch.

We topped it off with a nice n relaxed stripped back acoustic unplugged version of "Dorian"

Check it out below along with some crazy pics .

It is with great excitement we can announce we are supporting The Beat starring Dave Wakeling on their " Still Can't Stop It " Anniversary Tour in June!

In association with AGMP we will be touring across the north and northwest.

NEW SINGLE NEWS!

In January we got back into the studio to record the second album in Darlington and we are recording "Dorians Going Grey" ,"You Can't Let Go" and "Rude Boy Rude Girl".- just before we head off to Glastonbury to play in the live heat semi finals.

Its been decided that in February we will release the bouncy bouncy "Dorian's Going Grey" as our next and 7th single. 

2020 sets off at a pace!

We have had an amazing 12-18 months.

We are proud that we are a totally DIY band, the old punk ethic, do it yer fucking self!

We've seen many great venues and festivals and great countries and of course...a tour with The Specials.

and now as the year fizzles out and 2020 comes knocking - we finish up in  fine style in  York, North Yorkshire on December 31st with special guest from The Specials Roddy Radiation and that has SOLD OUT!

Thanks to Anna and the Victoria Vaults team x
