What makes The “Skariginals” original? The Skariginals are all about positivity and maximizing our audience’s happiness. If you come to a live show, you’re going to have an awesome night filled with singing, dancing, games, and friendship. If you listen to our record, our energy and lyrics will put you in a good mood. We’re spreading love and celebrating life through music, and there’s no one else out there that shares our purpose. What have been the highlights so far? It was a big moment for us when we completed our EP “Part of Your Balanced Breakfast.” We had hardly spent any time together as a group, and yet we already had this amazing record to develop our band with. It was a joy to be in the studio; the energy was always up as we tracked these songs Another highlight was our single “Magic of the Moment” getting the no. 4 Song of the Year on the semiannual ska radio show “Ska Parade” run by Orange County Ska legend Tazy Phillips. We also made the number one spot of his weekly broadcast multiple times and stayed in the top five for four consecutive weeks.
Recording the music video for “Magic of the Moment” was also a blast! We were in Newport Beach all day, shooting performance footage on a dock and playing around on the beach. It was an all around great day with our friends and we are super happy with the product! What’s next for The Skariginals? The Skariginals are working on a whole new batch of tunes right now for our second EP, to be released this summer. They’re sounding awesome and we can’t wait to get back in the studio! We’ve also just released our cover of “Underneath It All” with Drew Tabor and are planning to shoot a music video in the coming month to support that. It’s going to tell an awesome love story, people are totally going to dig it!
