On the eve of their UK headline tour this November/December, Skinny Lister has released the brand new single ‘Set Us Straight’. A digital-only single, ‘Set Us Straight’ is trademark Skinny Lister – an instantly catchy, sing-a-long romp that is destined to go down a storm in the wild ruckus of their live shows. Relating to a field that the Skinnies are decidedly experts in, The Pub, it’s a rowdy, wide-eyed, drinking track that’s the perfect chaser for knocking-them-back into the early hours with your best pals.

As Dan Heptinstall explains of the track and some of the familiar characters that populate it:

“‘Set us Straight’ is another Skinny Lister ode to the traditional public house, but this time it’s personal! We’ve painted a scene in the lyrics that features a bunch of good Skinny friends. The mentioned Guyer - who is a great friend as well as fan of the band - has attended well over 100 Skinny shows - now that’s dedication - cheers Guyer! Lorna is also in there dancing on the table while Billy (aka Party George’s ‘William Harker’) picks the diddle on his guitar. There’s also a nod to the delicious ‘Lorna’s Hammer’ cocktail, which was created by another good friend Scott - in honour of Lorna’s car destroying behaviour in our video ‘Devil In Me’.... it’s primarily a song about sharing some good times with good friends, and a reflection of the ongoing Skinny party. It’s also a fun track to play live - so expect to hear it in our upcoming UK Tour…”

Following a tour across Europe supporting Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls and some headline shows of their own, the Skinnies will be back for a fresh stretch of UK shows in the run up to Christmas. Beginning on 23rd November at Bristol Thekla, the thirteen date run will round-off with a gig at London’s Scala venue on 13th December.

As Dan adds of what to expect on the upcoming tour:

“Our end of year wouldn’t be the same without hitting the road for our annual Skinny UK Tour. And Christmas doesn’t officially start until we hit London for the Skinny Christmas bash, for which we go even bigger this year - at the amazing Scala in Kings Cross. Can’t wait to get back out there for some serious partying! We might even find space in the set to test drive a few new tracks. See you at the barrier!”
