Skating Polly is thrilled to hit the road for a headline tour in support of their double album Chaos County Line. Produced by longtime collaborator Brad Wood (Liz Phair, Jesus Lizard, Veruca Salt), the LP followed 2018’s critically acclaimed The Make It All Show, features a guest appearance by David Yow (Jesus Lizard, Flipper), and was Skating Polly’s first album in five years. See the tour dates here!

Skating Polly share blistering new track “Send A Priest.' Produced by longtime collaborator Brad Wood (Liz Phair, Jesus Lizard, Veruca Salt), the new LP follows 2018’s critically acclaimed The Make It All Show, features a guest appearance by David Yow, and is Skating Polly’s first new album in five years.

The hit show, Gunfight at the Not-So-OK Saloon, is returning to the Hollywood Fringe Festival. Gunfight at the Not-So-OK Saloon is a Gilbert and Sullivan-styled musical comedy set in the Old Wild West with a modern spin.

The June and July trek include stops at St. Vitus in Brooklyn, NY, The Masquerade in Atlanta, GA, the Middle East in Boston, Beat Kitchen in Chicago and Bovine Sex Club in Toronto. In addition, the first show of this second leg comes a day before the band's new double album Chaos County Line is set to be released via El Camino Media.

Skating Polly share “I’m Sorry For Always Apologizing” – a deceptively joyous rock song that is accompanied by the official music video directed by Christian Papierniak. The multiple award-winning director, producer, and writer best known for his hit Indie feature film Izzy Gets the F*ck Across Town brings the track to life with a humorous touch.

The LP will be released through the band’s longtime label El Camino Media and was produced by frequent collaborator Brad Wood (Liz Phair, Veruca Salt, Smashing Pumpkins). Along with the news, Skating Polly is releasing the LP’s frenetic lead single and music video for “Hickey King.” Check out a complete list of tour dates now!
