12-6-98..Well that's it. The last show has come and come and we
         are now dead. As you may know if you were there, Terry 
         refused to play the show, so Kevin from the Imports 
         filled in. It was a good time. We would like to thank 
         all the bands we ever played with  and everyone who 
         ever came out to see us or supported us in any way...We
         still have a couple cd's and demos left...if anyone is 
         interested, e-mail us...Keep on P-Rockin. Non-Stoppin. 
         *The Skanks*
10-15-98.Well hello everyone...we are still defunct, but we are 
         playing one last show on November 28th at the club with 
         Blane (possibly the best band in buffalo), Soupastar, 
         Kid Gorgeous, and the Budgets. So go and rock out and 
         see us off. We also finally got the Cheapskate Comp's 
         They are $6 and you can either get them from us or send
         an e-mail about them if you want to get them by mail.
9-25-98..As you can see from the main page, the Skanks are done.
         It has been thought of for awhile, and today Terry 
         officially quit. The band was going in a direction that 
         he didn't want to go. (I'm seeing a pattern) Instead of
         looking for a new drummer, we decided to call it quits. 
         So fare thee well. We will still have the Cheapskate 
         Comps on sale for anyone who wants them, and i think 
         there are still a few demo's laying around. Also if the
         Atom and his Package show still is goign to happen, we 
         will be playing that as a farewell show...and who 
         knows, maybe we'll try this again sometime. Buh-Bye.
9-11-98..Well I don't know what's going on with Atom and his
         Package. The shows been put in the hands of DC 
         Connections. Sorry to everyone that went to the show on
         the 29th and realized that we weren't there. I got sick.
         I got word from Cheapskate records that the compilation
         will be out in early October.
8-26-98..Well I added a link to Terry's Tick Page today. Also we
         are in the mists of settign up a show wth Atom and his
         Package in October. Hope to see you at the show     
         Saturday.
8-17-98..The band that was TBA is also known as What's Up Chuck.
8-9-98...Here's the info on the show on the 29th. It's us, The 
         Imports, Bonus and one more TBA. It's at The Club 
         (formerly Laboom) at 3036 Seneca St. in West Seneca. 
         The show starts at 5 and it's $6.
8-4-98...Another delayed entry. Well we're playing this 
         saturday, August 8th, at the Hamlin House. On 432 
         Franklin St. at 7pm and it's $4. Sorry it's so late. 
         Also on the 29th, we're playing at Annie Mays in West 
         Seneca. I'll list more about that when I find out.
7-20-98..Sorry i didn't post this stuff earlier, but it's been a 
         hectic couple of weeks. Here's what's happened since
         the last entry. The show on the 14th never happened, so
         noone missed anything. We went back to Atomic Gardens 
         and recorded "Fair Grounds" (formerly Usagi Yojimbo)
         and re-recorded the vocals for "No Exit" for the 
         Cheapskate Records comp (How To Stretch A Dollar), which
         Should be out by the end of August. At the studio, we  
         learned that Atomic Gardens will be closing it's doors 
         on August ninth...it will be missed. I put up some new 
         picts. We will be sending out tapes to various labels 
         in the next week or so also.
7-2-98...Anyone who didn't go to the show yesterday missed out. 
         This show had it all; blood, Jason's bass was broke in 
         two, one of Terry's cymbles was destroyed, AC-DC was 
         played, and a certain hardcore singer was running around
         wearing nothing but the socks on his feet. The blood's
         been clotted, Jason should have his bass fixed shortly,
         Terry's cymbol now serves as a china and our little
         naked friend excaped with little more than a chill.
         Now onto the real news. If we can find a place to host
         then show, we will be playing with Koan (from Cincinati)
         Angels in the Architecture, and Bethlam on July 14th.
         Also two new songs have been written (Ushabi Yojimbo 
         and HC 4 C 8 dinkdinkdink). Ushabi Yojimbo is goign to
         be put on a compilation being put out by Cheap Skate 
         Records. And that is the news for now.
6-17-98..Well unforntuatly the festival in PA has been cancelled
         so all you kids out there won't have to flock to see us.
         But we do have a final list for the show on July first. 
         The Broadways we're goignto play, but they cancelled so
         here's the list. The Skanks, Bonus, The Imports, The 
         Suburbanites, Never 2 Late, and the newest addition
         to the Buffalo punk-emo scene....LANCASTER. Featuring 
         The Skanks very own Jason on guitar and vocals and 
         Kevyn on drums.
6-9-98...I finally got two sound samples put up, so now anyone 
         who hasn't heard us can. The show on saturday was a
         good one. Like always, the equipment broke, but we 
         played well with little injury. As for the show on July
         1st, the bill is...The Skanks, Bonus, The 
         Suburbanites,  and two others. More info to come.
6-2-98...Wow, two entries in two days. I found out last night
         that o-city bombers cancelled, so a different band will
         be playing, possibly Blaine. Also we're playing a show 
         at the Mercury Theatre on July 1st with Blaine and a 
         few other bands. I'll list them when I find them out.

6-1-98...Well we've changed the layout of the page, and now we  
         have this news section, where we'll post any 
         information concerning the band, with dates and all    
         that jazz. So for the first installment i'll bring you 
         up to date with all that's been happening recently. 
         First of all our tape, "Kooler Than Elvis", was 
         released about 2 weeks ago and the first 100 copy 
         pressing sold out in just over a week, and we're 
         waiting for the next pressing. The tapes are $3 in 
         person, or $4 by mail for shipping. Secondly we are 
         goign to be on a Buffalo Punk 
         Compalation that some kids from the area are putting
         out. "Dreams Revisited" will be the song onh the comp.
         We're also playing a show At the American Legion in 
         Alden, NY on Saturday June 6th. The show starts at 7PM
         and it's $3. The bill is Stompin Cats, O-City Bombers,
         The Skanks, and 2 others which i'm not positive who they
         are. Also we have beena sked to play a two day campout-
         festival for the ARA in Meadsville, PA. All i know about
         that show so far is that it's the 3rd weekend in August.
         Well now we should be totally caught up with all of the
         info on the band as of current.
