History
The Skatenigs' lead singer, Phil "Phildo" Owen, previously performed on the album Beers, Steers, and Queers by the Revolting Cocks, and performed with the band on tour from 1989 to 1991. They released the single "Chemical Imbalance" in 1991 on Wax Trax! Records. Its B-side was a cover of the Big Boys song "Big Picture". Their debut album, Stupid People Shouldn't Breed, was released on Megaforce Records in 1992. It was produced by Ministry frontman Al Jourgensen, making the Skatenigs the first Texas band to attract Ministry's attention. Jourgensen refused to take credit for his work on the album, however, which sparked a rift between him and Owen. Also in 1992, Owen produced Burning in Water, Drowning in Flame, the debut album by fellow Texans from Corpus Christi Skrew. After the band's final tour in 1995, Owen formed Choreboy along with Chris Gates of the Big Boys.
