The Blueskins

The Blueskins are a four-piece band in Leeds and Gawthorpe, near Wakefield, West Yorkshire.



The band was formed in 1999, and in 2003 they signed to Domino Records. Three singles, an EP and an album



followed, and the band embarked on a tour of Europe and America, recording in Mississippi with celebrated



producer Dennis Herring.



In 2005 a change of direction saw bassist Matthew Smith and guitarist Ritchie Townsend leave the band, and



later in the year Paul and Ryan brought in Russian ex-tennis pro Andrei Nosov on guitar, and Welsh music



student Tom Bailey on bass. After writing a mass of new tunes and touring the UK for the past two years with the new line up they decided to call it a day in April 2008, some of the new tunes will be kept up here and rotated occasionally if anyone wants to download them.
