London's Skinny Lister have been featured on One In Ten Words a couple of times now. The relentlessly energetic band played The Legendary Horseshoe Tavern and The Toronto Urban Roots Festival back in 2016 and I captured those shows. Check the photos out here and here.

This time they were playing the stage at Rebel sandwiched between headliners The Interrupters and openers Sharp/Shock. Please click through for my photos of those sets.

Skinny Lister put on a consistently great show. Their music and performance is so full of positive energy, danceable beats and shout-along choruses that I think it would be near impossible to have anything but an empowering and heart-lifting time at one of their shows. This set featured a great mix of songs both new and old and closed with my favourite tune of theirs, "Trouble on Oxford Street".

As the set progressed, I wondered how they'd pass around the flagon at a venue this size. Sadly, that tradition seems to be limited to more intimate shows.

Please check out some of Skinny Lister's music. I've included some tunes from their setlist below. I'm sure you'll like what you hear and won't miss their infectious energy next time they hit up your town on tour.

"38 Minutes"

"Second Amendment"

"Cathy"

"Trouble on Oxford Street"
