Skipping Girl Vinegar are one of Melbourne’s up and coming bands, known for their indie pop sound and captivating live show.

Having recently launched their critically-acclaimed sophomore album ‘Keep Calm, Carry the Monkey’, the next single and forthcoming ‘Chase the Sun’ tour heralds the start of summer – a song about winding the windows low, cranking your favorite track and running as far and as fast as you can from the city’s dust into the arms of your favorite coastal town. The track unravels the euphoria that comes as you chase the sun and see the ocean come into sight, the afterglow across the rock pools and the night swimming that ensues.

In case you missed their packed show at the Melbourne Arts Centre in June, Skipping Girl Vinegar are heading out on the road throughout October / November, taking over the Northcote Social Club on Friday 14 October before the Vanguard in Sydney on 21 October. This will be followed by dates in Gold Coast, Eumundi & Brisbane (Nov 3 – 5) as well as Launceston and Hobart on November 11 & 12.

Skipping Girl Vinegar will launch Baker the handmade monkey into space in late October. Onboard will be an Mp3 player rambling out our new Skipping Girl Vinegar single ‘CHASE THE SUN’ and a selection of people’s messages to the universe.  Dangling from a weather balloon; Baker the Hobo Space Monkey will climb to approximately 132,000 feet above the earth’s surface with a camera capturing the rolling image of the ship and the monkey leaving earth.
