The Summer Skinny

The Summer Skinny is a band from Culver City, California. According to their MySpace page, the band was formed because of a bet.

"Winner gets $5. Loser forms a band."

Pandora [a music sharing site that I like a lot - similar to Last.fm], has nothing to say about the band itself.

The members are, according to MySpace, Claire Ditusa, Phoebe Parros, Willard Matthews, Matt Van Winkle, and Liz Scully.

The band has two songs out on the internet: The Great American Napkin and It's A Struggle Everyday. The Great American Napkin was featured on the soundtrack of the film Disturbia. You can listen to both songs on their MySpace, and The Great American Napkin can also be found on Pandora.

However, the lyrics are difficult to track down. I've looked, and most sites do not feature the band. The ones that I've found claiming to have the lyrics actually have a different song's lyrics posted.

The Summer Skinny is a very interesting band. I like both their songs alot. I would write more about the music itself, but I don't know anything about music theory, so I have to leave that up to someone else.

Give them a listen and let me know what you think.




Cheers.
