History
The Skatenigs' lead singer, Phil "Phildo" Owen, previously performed on the album
In 2011, Phil Owen reformed the band, but this time recruiting Mike Scaccia of Ministry and Casey Orr of GWAR. The band would play a few outings that year and the following year. But it wasn't until 2016 when the band self-released Adult Entertainment For Kids that Owen would reform once again, this time with the current lineup of Myke Bingham, Adam Lamar, and Chris Gates, with production cohort Chris Ahrens.
In 2020, the band released two albums compiling previously released material, as Show Me Where They Touched You and Show Me Where They Touched You... Again.
During 2020, the current lineup took advantage of shutdowns to produce a new album, What Could Go Wrong?, which was released by Cleopatra Records and Armalyte Industries on November 5, 2021.
