The Skids

The Skids’ mighty successful 40th anniversary celebrations spill over into their 41st year with a couple of intimate shows to kick off 2018. But the Dunfermline punk veterans, now featuring father/son guitarists Bruce and Jamie Watson, are also looking to the future with the release on Friday of Burning Cities, their first new album in over 36 years, produced by renaissance dude Youth.
