The Skatenigs' lead singer, Phil "Phildo" Owen, previously performed on the album Beers, Steers, and Queers by the Revolting Cocks, and performed with the band on tour from 1989 to 1991.[1] They released the single "Chemical Imbalance" in 1991 on Wax Trax! Records. Its B-side was a cover of the Big Boys song "Big Picture".[2] Their debut album, Stupid People Shouldn't Breed, was released on Megaforce Records in 1992. It was produced by Ministry frontman Al Jourgensen, making the Skatenigs the first Texas band to attract Ministry's attention.[3] Also in 1992, Owen produced Burning in Water, Drowning in Flame, the debut album by fellow Texans from Corpus Christi Skrew.[4] Owen formed Choreboy along with Chris Gates of the Big Boys.[2]
In 2011, Phil Owen reformed the band but this time recruiting Mike Scaccia of Ministry and Casey Orr of GWAR. The band would play a few outings that year and the following year. But it wasn't until 2016 when the band self-released Adult Entertainment For Kids that Owen would reform once again, this time with the current lineup of Myke Bingham, Adam Lamar and Chris Gates, with production cohort Chris Ahrens.
In 2020, the band released two albums compiling previously released material as Show Me Where They Touched You and Show Me Where They Touched You... Again.
