The Sketties (their name loosely based on the pasta dish consumed for 6 months straight by one member low on cash) is an eclectic, high-energy five-piece band from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, that began in early March of 2007.
Jonnie Wechter, Alissa Armer, Ben Hartranft, Mo Morris and Jesse Porter played their first show 2 weeks after their first practice in a barn in Brunnerville, PA. Since that time they have performed their all-original music across PA with stops in Pittsburg, Lancaster, Harrisburg and Philadelphia. The band has also made numerous trips into New Jersey, New York City, and Delaware wherre the band was showcased at the Dewey Beach Music Conference. They have had the honor to donate time to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and Cruisin’ For Cures Cancer Benefit fundraising events as well.
In late 2007 the Sketties released their first EP, called “The Desisive Sufficeit.” “The Decisive Sufficeit was our first attempt at proper recording as a band. It was recorded in the smoke-filled basement (aka the brig) of Jesse’s townhouse in the middle of Lancaster. The neighbors endured so much with very little complaint.
The band and their song “Upstream” was featured on the internet-based radio station Song Planet, by DJ Motmot as the featured artist of the month for February 2008. The band was also given honorable mention on Internet radio stations Zradio and Bohemio Radio. Bohemio Radio also named The Sketties artist of the month for March 2008.
Also this year, The Sketties had the opportunity to record a live show At Bube's Brewery (special thanks to MHM PRODUCTIONS with MIKE MUNDIS, JC FLETLOCK, and BONXO.COM)
The Sketties are currently recording their second project titled "UP?!? YES!!!" due out in December of 2008.The Sketties draw from a wide range of influences and inspirations including grunge, garage rock, acoustic, progressive, experimental, etc.... Each member brings his or her own personal influence creating a unique concoction of sound that refuses to be defined by a specific genre.
“Our biggest influence is the observation of human behavior and how weird THAT can be. The subject matter is often satirical, but also optimistic. The music we write is a sincere response to the lives we live and what we see happening around us."
