What their label says...

The legend of Skibunny precedes the debut single release and live performance by almost a decade. First came the legend of Skibunny the club. Two musicians, Mark and Tanya, with four Peel Sessions and a Melody Maker Single of the Week under their belts, came together as a DJ duo to create Skibunny, a weekly Saturday night alternative club which soon prompted words like 'groundbreaking' from Radio 1. As the reputation grew, the accolades kept coming with both a Club of the Week appearance in the pages of the NME, and a gong for Best Alternative Club at the Oh Yeah Awards. As well as the club, Mark and Tanya have DJ?d the length and breadth of the globe-whether it be playing between bands like The White Stripes and Franz Ferdinand at the Vital festival, playing after-parties for everyone from Ash to Scissor Sisters, and popping up at festivals like Oxygen and T in the Park (where they were supported by Mylo.) Or if you were in London in May of 2006, that was them ripping it up at the seminal Death Disco. In the last 12 months alone, they shared stages with Erol Alkan, CSS, DFA DJs, The Rapture and The Go! Team. Then came the legend of the remixing. Skibunny kicked off with Oppenheimer, and upon delivery of the results, the remix was snapped up by giants Nike for their online campaign. Bands starting falling over themselves to get the Skibunny treatment. Amongst those joining the disorderly queue were Forward Russia and The Freelance Hellraiser. Now starts the legend of Skibunny live. Now, finally, comes the first release of original material. Sitting somewhere between Joy Division, Fourtet and The Cure, it?s a bittersweet slice of electro-acoustic pop, the vocals being recorded with David Holmes. The B-Side is a remix from new friend Handsomeboy Technique.
