About The Skidmarks
The Skidmarks were a sixties-style garage/beat/punk band from Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Band members were Jeroen Mesker (vocals), Sander Borst (guitar, vocals), Maarten van Essen (a.k.a. 'Jim Pacobs'; guitar, organ, vocals), Ernst 'Ernie' Jonkman (bass) and Peter 'Fat Pete' van Rijn (drums). Founded in 1995 at Amsterdam University, the energetic, sharply dressed Skidmarks had already created a solid live reputation for themselves in the Dutch underground scene when they released their début album Come And Get It! in 2002. They became press darlings in The Netherlands, toured internationally and released two more well received records: 2003's mini album Annual White Trash Barbecue (also available on 10-inch vinyl) and their second (and last) full-length album, Till The Last One's Gone. After that, the band amicably decided to call it a day in August 2005, but only three months later four out of the original five Skidmarks (Sander, Jim Pacobs, Ernie and Fat Pete) resurfaced as Check 1-2 (sometimes: The Check 1-2), a band that may be regarded as a continuation of The Skidmarks.
