#210. Irish No-Wave Provocateur Skinner Discusses His Debut Album "New Wave Vaudeville"

The XS Noize Podcast

In Episode #210 of The XS Noize Podcast, host Mark Millar speaks with Irish No-Wave Provocateur Skinner about his debut album, New Wave Vaudeville.

Skinner kicks off 2025 with the release of his highly anticipated debut album, New Wave Vaudeville. The project of Dublin-based multi-instrumentalist, singer, and producer Aaron Corcoran, Skinner draws inspiration from the New York No Wave scene of the late '70s and early '80s. New Wave Vaudeville pays homage to the eclectic "New Wave Vaudeville" music variety freak show at New York's 57 Club from 1978 to 1983.

Known for its unrestrained art performances and debaucherous energy, the 57 Club offered a wild counterpoint to the growing commercialization of modern culture—a spirit perfectly mirrored in the rambunctious and free-spirited sound of Skinner's debut collection.

In this episode, Skinner discusses the writing and recording process behind New Wave Vaudeville, his upcoming shows, and much more. Or listen via YouTube | Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon Music | RSS – Find The XS Noize Podcast's complete archive of episodes here.
