Skating Polly To Support Kate Nash on Tour Plus Own Headline Shows

Following last year’s incredible album The Big Fit, Washington-based step-sister duo (and Gigslutz favourites), Skating Polly have now become a trio with the addition of their brother Kurtis, and have released a brand new EP.

Co-written by Veruca Salt’s Louise Post and Nina Gordon, who reached out to the young band looking to collaborate, New Trick is out now, and is filled with the band’s raw passion and empowering sentiment alongside gritty, emotion-strewn melodies. The EP’s artwork is appropriately provided by famous 1970’s punk-era photographer and co-founder of Slash magazine Melanie Nissen, with the vinyl including a B-side etching hand-drawn by the band.

And now, the trio have announced extensive European tour dates for this summer. The shows take in slots opening for Kate Nash, as well as their own headline dates.
