RSVP TO A SKINS LIVE PARTY AND YOU COULD FIND YOURSELF IN SERIES 3
Series 2 of Skins finishes in April… but fear not, the makers of E4’s groundbreaking show will be taking the Skins lifestyle on the road throughout April and May.
The inaugural Skins Live Tour will be hitting up nine cities around the UK beginning in Manchester on 10 April… Cardiff on 12 April… Nottingham on 18 April… Norwich on 24 April… Liverpool on 25 April… London on 26 April… Glasgow on 2 May… Newcastle on 8 May... with the last stop in Birmingham on 15 May and they will all be filmed for SkinsLife.com.
Live acts on the bill are a veritable who’s who of up-and-coming names on the indie/electro scenes including Crystal Castles, The Teenagers, Ladyhawke, David E. Sugar, The Clik Clik, Cut Off Your Hands, XX Teens, The Shoes, TS7, Dexplicit, The Rascals, The Joy Formidable and We Smoke Fags… plus a host of decks-based wizardry from tour DJ The Freelance Hellraiser, Men In Masks, Osymyso, Shitdisco, We Start Fires, Cassette Jam and loads more. (Full line ups for each party below.)
Skins casting scouts will also be on the look-out for new faces. Everyone who buys a ticket will be sent a short script which they can use to audition for a part in Series 3.
“We’ve been hunting for identical twin girls and a Polish guy through SkinsLife.com and we’ve had a fantastic response,” says Skins co-creator and executive producer, Bryan Elsley. “We’re now looking for all sorts of people for Series 3 - from extras all the way up to lead roles.” The auditions will take place at every Skins Live party, so look sharp.
As if that wasn’t enough, musicians looking for their big break can win the chance to share the stage with these big-name acts by entering their material at SkinsLife.com. The winners will be selected from the SkinsLife users’ favourite entries. The best of the user-generated material on the site will be featured at Skins Live parties… and maybe even in the show itself.
“We’ve had some brilliant music posted in our Parties competitions at SkinsLife.com,” says Skins’ Head Of Music, Alex Hancock. “Everyone here liked one particular track so much, ’Jenny Jones’ by Paper Heroes, we’re using it in Episode 9 of the current series.”
Tickets for the Skins Live Tour are only available from www.SkinsLife.com at £10/£15 and they’re going fast…
