Skulker

I'm always the sort of person that is into things years after they are cool hip trendy or just plain in. Take Skulker for instance, I heard them around 2003 when they were at the height of their popularity. I subsequently when out and bought their latest CD, then their first CD. I really love their music and wanted to know what was happening with them.

Of course since I got into it all so late by the time I was interested it was all over. Skulker is now history. Gone and forgotten. Their website no longer exists and noone has heard from them since 2004. It saddens me to think that music that certainly spoke to me so well and presumably many others dies so silently as it has.

But then stardom is fleeting and perhaps after 10 years at it the girls just wern't into it anymore. Who knows? I certainly don't. Never saw them live, never bought any of their singles. Just plain got into it all too late to be useful.

At least I still have their music to remind me of what it must have been like. Thank you Skulker for at least rocking for a while and managing to plonk down a couple of solid albums.
