Almost!
We just mastered the album this past week with Major Matt, so all we really have to get together now are the photos, the artwork, and a title!
We're both really excited and proud of this project, and we can't wait to share it with you. We hope to have a release party in late Spring or mid-Summer. We'll keep you updated!

One more thing...
We've been back in the studio!!! After a long hiatus, we've finally finished our album. It still has to be mastered, but it should be done done very soon. We are extremely happy with it and can't wait to put it out. Thanks to Major Matt, Jay, and Simon!
Tour Photos
Here are some photos that were taken while we were on a brief tour of England with Herman Dune back in September. Enjoy!
Zombie-Zombie at The End of the Road Festival. This was our first night there. It was freeeeezing cold and neither of us were prepared for the weather. Luckily, when Zombie Zombie played, it was so packed with people that we were able to warm up. They were amazing!

Peacocks! The festival took place on a nature reserve of some sort. There were peacocks just roaming the area. They were beautiful and the most amazing thing was that they didn't seem to be bothered by the people. And as far as we could tell, the people didn't bother them either.
At the festival, we met up with our friends Jack, Jeff, Helen and Dave. It was nice to see familiar faces so far from home. All of us left New York just to meet up again on the other side of the ocean!
Turner was also on tour with Dawn Landes, who was playing the festival as well. It was great because Turner was able to play bass with Herman Dune at the festival. This a shot of Turner playing his songs in this little wooden box that was out in the middle of the woods with a piano in it. Anyone could get up and play, i think. David and Turner both played songs and Dave from the Wave Pictures also sang a song. In order to get there, you had to walk through this patch of forest that was completely draped in christmas lights. It was really beautiful.
At the end of the night, Herman Dune played another set in a smaller stage tent. It was so much fun, the place was packed with people and the stage was packed with musicians. On stage, we were joined by Jack, Dave Beauchamp, Dave T. from the Wave Pictures and few other people as well. It was totally crazy and fun!
The Van!! This thing was so cool. It was huge and had a DVD player and two rows of seats and a bed-like area in the back. FANCY!
We played a show with The Jeffrey Lewis Band at this venue on a boat in Bristol. (I can't remember the name of the venue.) The Jeffrey Lewis Band was amazing!
This is the venue at ULU in London. Dave from the Wave Pictures played with Herman Dune for this show. It was a fun time and afterwards, the Wave Pictures took us to this great restaurant near their place and we were serenaded by this old Rasta dude who sang every word that came out of his mouth. The night ended up with all of us just imitating this Rasta dude, aka the Rasta Masta.
We played another show in Manchester before we left, but I didn't take photos of that venue. After that show, we stayed with a wonderful woman, Bernie, who was kind enough to let us stay at in her amazing home. Thank you, Bernie!

Back from Tour
Thanks to the wonderful Herman Dune boys for having us on their England leg of their tour. I apologize for the lack of posts lately, but the month of September has proven to be quite a whirlwind. Bad and Good. I won't dwell on the bad, but the one majorly good thing was The Baby Skins opening and playing with Herman Dune for 4 shows in England from 9/15-9/20. I have pictures to share, but they are on my computer at home and i'm at work right now. We had such a great time and we have lots of wonderful stories to share which we'll elaborate on later. Just wanted to drop in for a quick update.
A couple shows coming up in the next month. We were invited by Daniel Bernstein to play Sidewalk Cafe on 10/20 and on Halloween we'll be playing Yoko Kikuchi's CD release party (time is TBA.)

Weekends
Here are photos from this weekend, Saturday night was Yoko's surprise birthday party. Andrew and I came later when things seemed to have died down a little bit, but it was fun nonetheless. Especially when the guitar was passed around and a sing-a-long ensued.

On Sunday night, The Tri-Lambs had a show for The Best's CD release party. Also playing that night was Phoebe Kreutz (wonderfully funny and such a beautiful voice), The Daouets (rocked the place!) and of course, The Best who finished off the night with a huge group on-stage sing-a-long. So much fun to be had all around. Here are some photos:

Up and Running
So, i've gotten things somewhat in order. I'm still waiting on our site thebabyskins.com to be sorted out so this site and that site become one. I decided it would be easier for both Angela and I to update the info if it was in a blog form. Hopefully, this format will prove to be more fruitful than our previous website. It hadn't been updated in, no kidding, over a year.
The Herman Düne boys are in town! We sang with them last night at Union Hall in Park Slope. It was amazing and wonderful and so much fun. Turner Cody played bass and we had all the horns and flutes! Incredible! Here are some photos from the show. Enjoy

New Site
Hello everyone! Welcome to our new site. We have yet to get things up and running due to technical questions that I have yet to find the answers to. There's not much to look at yet. Hopefully, soon.
