In the words of our late, great, 32nd president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, ” Fuck em’ , stick a fork in ‘em, they are done.”
Eight years of being mildly yet loudly retarded, The Skullcranes are calling it a good run. Don’t ask why. Lets just say Jimmy quit and Joey got married, you should have known they would’nt get far, you prying judgers. Don’t judge us. Dicks.
In the last eight years we have been to Minneapolis, St Paul, Moorhead, Council Bluffs, Topeka, Lawrence, St Louis, Cedar Falls, Rockford, St Cloud, Fargo, Des Moines, Montevideo, Crystal, Iowa City, Menominee, Oshkosh, Eau Claire, Madison, LaCrosse, Beaver Dam and your mom’s house. Most of them many times. Especially your mom’s house.
We have met ALOT of really cool people and couple of dickheads here and there. We have played with bands that are Emo, Folk, Metal, New-Metal, Super-metal, Stoner Rock, Punk, Country, Hammered, Strait Edge, Hip Hop, Self-Inflated, Cutters, Republicans, Whigs, Democrats, Farmers, Growers, Buyers, Sellers, Techno, Electro, One man, Two man, Two man and a chick, 3 Chicks and dude, Native American, One chick and guitar, One bass player and a bunch of gear, funny guys, sad eyes, comedians, raffle offers, jack offers, sinners, losers and winners.
Would not trade it for anything.
We have been paid, not paid, sold some shirts and sold some C.D.’s. Gin and tonic, whiskey coke, margarita senorita, beers, teers, jeers and we have killed some bars’ supply of Jameson.
Had some of the best 3 in the morning breakfasts of all time. Some of you were there.
We’ve had vans break down. Vomited quite a bit, and stayed at a K.O.A. We’ve had no heat, no A.C. , strong smells of anti-freeze, a little blackjack and that’s a fact Jack. A little this, a little that and some pats on the back.
The Skullcranes last show will May 17th at the Northstar Roller Girls championship bout in the Minneapolis Convention Center. 10 in advance and 12 at the door.
On behalf of all of us in The Skullcranes, Thank you and CHEERS!
