Understanding 9/11Skinny Knockdown: Masti Huba
Audio With External Links Item Preview
Listening to this 5-track EP brings to mind Pearl Jam, Dinosaur Jr., The Pixies, fIREHOSE, The Rolling Stones and other practitioners of no-nonsense rock and roll. And yet, these songs have their own identity altogether. What does unify Skinny Knockdown with their influences is their straight forward, lo-fi approach to the music, with a propulsive beat and sturdy blues backbone. Recorded with minimal overdubs, these 5 songs were laid down in one take back in 1995, but still resonate 15 years later. Consider this your doggie bag from a greasy burger joint that was steamrolled and turned into a parking lot more than a decade ago. You shoulda been there.

the new and fresh sound that these men of the past produced paved the way for the the artists of today. Masti Huba brings a very comfortable and familiar vibe to the 607 community and we can only hope for a reunion show sooner before later

Have you ever wondered what happened if Mozart and Pearl Jam had a band, well it’s skinny knockdown. These songs are the most iconic and blessed pieces of music I’ve ever heard. It makes grown men, women and children cry, it’s beats will take you back. The lead singers vocals are the most angelic and well put together vocals, this band all together makes the Beatles look like trash. If you haven’t invested some time listening to these songs you need to.

I'm not gonna lie, I saw these guys perform numerous times in New York, and they are filthy, lo-fi musicians. The Masti Huba EP is a testament to the do-it-yourself philosophy of so many great underground bands. Skinny Knockdown was a powerhouse live band. I can't recommend this EP highly enough. Everyone should listen to it.
