Skipping girl vinegar live in nashville the basement 2 23 11 pt 2 of 2
2004–2007: Formation and One Chance
Forming in 2004 the quartet wrote and rehearsed solidly before debuting live in 2006. Once playing they soon secured support slots opening for larger acts such as Bob Evans, Shout Out Louds, The Lemonheads and Something For Kate before releasing the single "One Chance" and its filmclip later in the year. The single received high rotation on Triple J radio, and drew the attention of several major record labels which the band negotiated with before choosing to take their own business Secret Fox to the smaller, independent label Popboomerang with distribution through MGM Records.
2008–2009: Sift The Noise
Skipping Girl Vinegar recorded their debut album Sift the Noise over a 14-month period "in living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens and studios across Melbourne, as well as a beach shack in Aireys Inlet". Sift the Noise was produced and recorded by Greg Arnold, Brisbane-based producer Caleb James and Mark Lang. The album is notable for its intricate library-book-style packaging.

Upon release the album garnered positive reviews. Rip It Up magazine in Adelaide and 'Rave Magazine in Brisbane both made the 'Sift The Noise' single their respective ‘Single of the Week’.

JMAG and the Music Australia Guide (MAG) both gave the album 4.5 stars. The title track was added to high rotation on Triple J and ABC local radio nationwide in February 2009. The accompanying animated clip for ‘Sift The Noise’ also received critical acclaim with Rage featuring it as the band's second ‘indie clip of the week’.
2010–2013: Keep Calm Carry the Monkey

March 2010 saw the release of the band's first single, "One Long Week", which heralded a harder and more dynamic sound. New member, violinist and keyboard player Kelly Lane was brought into the band in early 2010.

Skipping Girl Vinegar opened the Splendour in the Grass festival, before releasing the singles "Wasted", "Chase the Sun",and "You Can", all taken from third album "Keep Calm Carry The Monkey".
Following a tour with Irish band Ash, the single "Making Our Way" was released to radio in mid 2013.
2015: The Great Wave
2013 single "Making Our Way" was taken from the band's most recent album The Great Wave, released in May 2015.
