Fast-rising indie act Skint and Demoralised will be waxing lyrical in Blackburn on June 17.

Skint & Demoralised began when Wakefield teenager Matt Abbott started doing stand-up performance poetry in late 2006 on comical themes such as tales from seaside towns and tragic nights-out.

The band appeared on national radio show DJs Steve Lamacq, Colin Murray and Huw Stephens.

* Skint And Demoralised perform at The Live Lounge in Northgate, Friday, June 17, from 9pm-4am.
