Skysaw was an American alternative rock band featuring The Smashing Pumpkins drummer Jimmy Chamberlin along with multi-instrumentalist/vocalist/songwriter Mike Reina and guitarist Anthony Pirog.[1]
Formed in 2009, alternative rock band Skysaw featured Jimmy Chamberlin along with Mike Reina and Anthony Pirog. Reina and Pirog fronted a Washington DC–based psych-pop ensemble called The Jackfields. Reina was introduced first to Chamberlin through a mutual acquaintance, and through him, Pirog. The band name is a reference to the song "Sky Saw", the opening track of Brian Eno's album Another Green World.[2]
The band released its debut full-length album, Great Civilizations, in June 2011.[3][4]
The band performed live in 2011 with additional touring members, multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Boris Skalsky and guitarist Paul Wood, both of Dead Heart Bloom.[5][6]
On August 23, 2012, Jimmy Chamberlin revealed the dissolution of Skysaw.[7]
