AUSTIN, TX. - Skatenigs, the long-running electro-thrashcore outfit led by singer Phil "Phildo" Owen, return to the musical stage with What Could Go Wrong?, a collection of all-new recordings, on Armalyte Industries on October 29. Featuring the current core Skatenigs crew of Owen, Chris Ahrens and Adam Lamar on guitars, and live drummer/studio bassist Myke Bingham (Owen: "He's a one-man rhythm section!"), the 12-track physical CD release will be followed by its digital streaming counterpart via Cleopatra Records on Halloween. Skatenigs was begun by Owen in Los Angeles in 1989, though it's been Austin-based since the early '90s. Running until 1995, with a brief reunion for a handful of shows in 2011, Skatenigs were reactivated in 2016 for their self-released Adult Entertainment For Kids, with all current members augmented by Big Boys/Poison 13/Junkyard legend Chris Gates. What Could Go Wrong? basically comprises what Skatenigs did during COVID-19 lockdown. All 12 tracks were written and recorded in fits and starts, between dayjob engagements and other responsibilities. Among the highlights: A steroid-enhanced, turbo-charged, 30th anniversary "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit Of Happiness" remake/remix of "Beers, Steers and Queers," the Revolting Cocks hit featuring Owen's vocals. The new version of "BSAQ" is essentially the original version, with new guitar work and other instrumental contributions from Skatenigs, plus some choice samples from Joe Exotic. "It's gonna get real redneck," promises Owen. The core Skatenigs quartet is augmented by a who's-who of punk/hardcore/metal/industrial heroes.
