Skulker was a Sydney, Australia based rock band.
Former Band Members Greer Skinner (lead and backing vocals, guitar) Annette Harada (bass guitar, back vocal) Gregory Charles Boulting (guitar, back vocals) (2004) Angela Blackshaw ( drums) Naomi Battah (aka Batti) (guitar, backing vocal, occasional lead vocals) (- 2004)
History Greer, Annette, Batti and Angela were in the same high school back in 1994 (Cheltenham Girls' High, North Sydney) when they decided to form the all-girls rock band. The release of their first full-length album, Too Fat for Tahiti gained them a respectable following, support places with major bands and frequent airplay on Triple J, Australia's nationwide alternative public radio station. Their songs "Naughty" and "Hëj" were voted into the Triple J Hottest 100 at number 50 and 80 respectively of that year, the album was nominated for an ARIA (Best Independent Album) and the band nominated for 'Best New Live Act' at the Australian Music Awards.
The band toured Australia exhaustively before recording a new album "The Double Life" which was released early 2003. They released a free download only single "Rock Nugget" which received high rotation on Triple J. The album received 'feature album' on Triple J, however sales of "The Double Life" were somewhat disappointing compared to those of debut "Too Fat for Tahiti". The band went on to release singles "Coming Home" and "In Your Arms" and played the national Big Day Out tour in 2004 alongside heroes Metallica, Magic Dirt, The Darkness and others. Early 2004 also had the band supporting Pink at the Sydney and Newcastle entertainment centres. At this point guitarist Batti decided to depart the band and moved to Canada to pursue other interests.
Following the replacement of Batti with new guitarist Gregory Boulting, the band toured the east coast of Australia and recorded extensive demos of new material which were to form a new album but were not released before the band broke up.
