The Skids

AGMP Presents...

THE SKIDS
'The Absolute Game' Tour
+ special guests: AU PAIRS

 
The Skids celebrate their third studio album 'The Absolute Game', which was their most commercially succesful album reaching the #9 in the UK album charts.

'The Absolute Game' featured the singles 'Circus Games', 'Goodbye Civilian' and 'Woman in Winter'.
The Skids are a punk/new wave band who formed in Dunfermline, Scotland in 1977. They went on to have 10 singles in the UK charts including 'Into The Valley', 'The Saints Are Coming' (later covered by U2 and Green Day), 'Masquerade', 'Working For The Yankee Dollar', 'Animation' and 'Charade'.

Au Pairs formed in late 1978 in Birmingham, UK in the post-punk era. They were a much-loved band who combined fun, dancey music with an innovative and, for that time, a daringly progressive message.
In their original form they were 2 women and 2 men, the objective being to show that women and men can work together as equals.
