Pink Skies

This is silly. My name is Arieh, I make music under the name Pink Skies. I’m from Oakland, CA, and grew up in the Bay Area loving music and played in bands in the indie and punk scenes in the Bay. My band got banned from playing 924 Gilman because we weren’t punk enough. That’s whack lol. Too indie for the punk clubs and too punk for the indie clubs. We loved Red Hot Chili Peppers, Funkadelic, and The Clash.

We had to learn to record ourselves because no one else wanted to do it. We snuck into Guitar Center and abandoned offices and slept in them to record. We loved to skate, party, prank people, and smoke blunts listening to Mac Dre. Classic Bay shit. We lived in our van and toured around the country living off of peanut butter and water. Super fun rock band energy. We had a lot of fun!

I’ve gotten to produce music with 6LACK, Khalid, Saint JHN, Glass Animals, and lots of awesome musicians.

My incredibly talented friends and I have toured as Pink Skies (some from the OG band!) and we have gotten to play with incredible artists like Neil Frances, Goth Babe, Ritt Momney, Boy Pablo, Del Water Gap, Day Wave, TV Girl, and Tim Atlas. We’re really stoked to play more shows, so hopefully we will come to a city near you someday.

I’m working on a bunch of new music, and it all sounds pretty different. I hope you like it, because I don’t really know what it’s going to sound like, but the whole point of music is to express yourself and to experiment so fuck it!
