The Skinny Guns
Founded in 2008
The San Francisco Bay Area, an eclectic melting pot of beat poets, east bay punk rockers, long haired hippies, and eccentric artists, has given rise to the sweaty black leather rock and roll music of The Skinny Guns. They are a solid 4 piece band poised to pick up the flag for Alternative Rock. If you are looking for a unique combination of hard hitting rock and soulful
grit you will find it here, but the allure of The Skinny Guns runs much deeper than that.

They draw their influence from a wide range of artists across all genre’s — 50’s rock, early grunge, even Motown and Soul. Sam Cooke, Joy Division, Queens of the Stone Age, The Doors, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Kills and Led Zeppelin are just some examples of
what you’ll find on their playlists. They are a band with Multiple Personality Disorder, but they like it that way.

Somori Pointer (Vocals) A poignant and potent poet/storyteller with a soulful, engaging and enigmatic voice. He also happens to be the nephew of the world famous Pointer Sisters.

Eric Lindsey (Guitar) To him it’s all about interesting rhythms. Then melodies and dynamics. He thrives on simplicity but adds just enough texture with a subtle layering of detail to create the song’s personality. He’s always searching for that sweet spot within each piece.

Brian Lindsey (Bass) Every solid cohesive band needs a strong foundation. Once Brian came into the fold on bass the song writing and collaborative dynamic was set in motion.

Conor Acomb (Drums) Tying it all together is Conor on drums. His steady driving rhythm accentuates the other players at just the right moments while still allowing the music to breathe.

DRKMTRLS is Jean Yaste and Kevin Earl Taylor.

 “If anyone ever says that The Shanghai Times album rocks… kick them in the teeth and reply, “That’s an understatement, you bloody infidel!” To simply say the this album ‘rocks’, doesn’t do it justice.” Jamsphere Music Magazine

“I’ve been blown away by The Shanghai Times. Thrusting us into a grunge like melee that the Queens Of The Stone Age would be proud to call their own. This suggests this is a band who can produce the goods live. The Shanghai Times leave you safe in the knowledge that there are bands out there still offering up dramatic, powerful music, which connects with your soul.” Loud-Stuff.com
