Have You Heard: Skyscraper Stan and The Commission Flats

More Skyscraper Stan & The Commission Flats Skyscraper Stan & The Commission Flats Profile

Answered by: Skyscraper Stan

How did you get your start? We just kinda congealed on The Old Bar’s beer-soaked carpet over a couple of years.

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Jingle jangle bum diddy.

If you could support any band in the world – past or present – who would it be? I think probably Bob Dylan’s Rolling Thunder Revue. More for the post-gig, cross-eyed sing-alongs than the show itself.

You’re being sent into space, no iPod, you can bring one album – what would it be? I’m being sent into space? I never agreed to this. Is Sandra Bullock coming? Please tell me she’s not coming. That woman ruins everything.

Greatest rock’n’roll moment of your career to date? What happens in velvet suit pants, stays in velvet suit pants. Nothing washes it out.

Why should people come and see your band? We play together for the joy of it. We have a good time and like to see it catch on. Is it your sack o’ beans? Only one way to find out.

When and where for your next gig? JamGrass Music Festival at Thornbury Theatre for Halloween, 31 Oct, with Mustered Courage, Raised By Eagles and more.
