'''Ska Skank Redemption''' is a Colorado Ska band under the leadership of Mark Kinz and Kyle Etges.

History
Before Ska Skank: That One Band and Legitimate Idiot (Operation: Sock Puppets)
In the fall of 2004, Kyle Etges sought to create a Jazz/Blues combo in his Sophomore year of High School. Mark Kinz was brought in on Trombone, and Tait Lewis on Guitar. With several other members, That One Band band existed for about three years. Early on in the band's existence, Mark was introduced to Ska by his friend Tai Cash. He eventually introduced Kyle to Ska. In the Summer of 2006, after watching School Of Rock, Kyle said to Mark "Kinz, you have to start a Ska Band. You have to. And you have to call it Sock Puppets."
Operation: Sock Puppets began in the Fall of 2006, cycling through many members before landing on a somewhat solid lineup. This lineup consisted of Mark Kinz (Trombone), Kyle Etges (Drums), Annelise Lowe (Bass), Tait Lewis (Lead Guitar), Chris WeeD (Vocals), Lance Stevens (Rhythm Guitar), and Noah Fulton-Beale (Trumpet). This group is responsible for writing the song "Grrr, I'm a Bear", which was inspired by Mark's druid character on World of Warcraft. They also were the first to perform "Tait's Song", and also devised a Ska arrangement of the theme of Pirates of the Carribean. The band landed on the band name, Legitimate Idiot.
Legitimate Idiot played one show, opening for That One Band's CD release party, which was also their last show. Legitimate Idiot was called back for an encore after That One Band's set. Out of songs, the band played three that they had played before.
