"The Skating Party" is the recording project and moniker of Philadelphia multi-instrumentalist, "Gregory James." It is a collection of songs and memories of partaking in the local skating parties, where broken hearts lay next to battered arcade scores.

Over the years, Gregory has worked with producers Brian McTear (Matt Pond PA, Burning Brides, Hail Social) and Ryan & Paul of the Cobbs (Black Rebel, Kasabian, War on Drugs) while fronting several bands, releasing records, compilations, and touring relentlessly. Whether hitting the grimiest dive bars on the lower East Side, to doing shots backstage with the likes of "Gym Class Heroes," and "My Morning Jacket," he has actively remained a prevalent staple on the struggling and highly competitive music scene in Philadelphia.

"The Skating Party" is the recording project and moniker of Philadelphia multi-instrumentalist, "Gregory James Harrigan." It is a collection of songs and memories of partaking in the local skating parties, where broken hearts lay next to battered arcade scores.

While currently working with other acts, (Ohm Brellas, Fantastic Planet) Gregory h...as been crafting catchy melodies over ambient sounds and layered rhythms in his home studio for the debut release, "Pinbot Wizard." "The Skating Party," showcases an array of influences of Prince-esque synths, Linn Drum beats, and layered falsetto harmonies.

"Pinbot Wizard," is a combination of life experience and musical influences working together in an effort to craft "the perfect pop album." And by perfect, meaning, a collection of songs to listen to while you lace up your skates, and ride home...alone.
