Australian rock and roll themed band Skegss are headed back to the US with headlining dates this Fall, including stops at Los Angeles's El Rey, Chicago's Bottom Lounge and NYC's Bowery Ballroom. Hailing from and around Byron Bay, the band is known for their dizzyingly energetic sets and in the past year alone have seen the venues they play jump in size to nearly 6,000 in Australia. And with good reason, asTone Deaf said “one listen to their live show proves that they deserve everything they have achieved, with bands three times their age dreaming of pulling off a show like this.” The Mancunion (UK) also caught a set, saying “really bloody fun are three words that ultimately sum up the experience of seeing Skegss live.” Their November shows will be their biggest rooms yet in the US. See all tour dates below. Tickets go on sale this Friday, August 9th at 10:00AM local time. Visit www.skegss.com for more info.
