Skatanixs



Skatanixs was formed in 1999, in Georgetown, Penang. The group survived major line-up changes throughout the years but two men remain as the backbone of the group, playing a key role in the group’s survival - Ruhaifi and Ian J.A.

The skateboarding buddies, Ruhaifi and Ian started jamming with a couple of friends at Ian’s father's music school in Penang. After that they decided to form a band and that is how Skatanixs was formed.

The name suits the band skateboarding diehard attitude and the band is branded as a skate rock band. The name originated from the word skatan, a famous skateshop in California called the Church of Skatan.

The band is often confused as a skapunk band because of the word ska in Skatanixs but it is actually skatepunk. After a few jam session, Skatanixs recorded their first demo in November 1999.

Ian played drums until 2007 before Arn joined that year to play drums. Ali joined Skatanixs this year (2009) as permanent bassist where before this, real bassist was non-existence. Ian then came back from busy journalism work at a local 24 hour news channel to play guitar.

Some of the band other previous members were; Malaysia's former number one BMX freestyler, Redza, Ruhaifi’s university mates in in Bangi, Apro and Along. After Ruhaifi graduated he returned to Penang and after a few gigs, Along went back to Labuan and Apro was no longer part of the band.

Arn then joined an Oil and Gas company and recently left the band. Along came back to KL and was chosen as Arns’ successor on drums.

June 2008, Skatanixs released Skatepunk EP, a 5 song professionally recorded version of old and new Skatanixs tracks, encapsulating Ruhaifi's thought as a single Malaysian man, who loves skateboarding and rock punk music.
