23 Skidoo is a British experimental music group formed in the early 1980s, known for their innovative blend of post-punk, industrial, and electronic music. The band gained prominence for their unique sound that incorporated elements of jazz, funk, and world music, often accompanied by socially and politically charged lyrics. They are considered pioneers of the "industrial" genre, alongside bands like Cabaret Voltaire and Throbbing Gristle. Their influential work, particularly their 1989 album "Seven Songs," helped shape the avant-garde music scene of the time. 23 Skidoo remains noteworthy for their explorative approach and their contribution to the evolution of contemporary music.
