At the request of Sisters of Mercy frontman, Andrew Eldridge, the band played on the Sisters 1984 Black October Tour, also appearing with Siouxsie & the Banshees, Killing Joke and The Mission, plus recording six Radio One sessions for John Peel, Janice Long & Dave "Kid" Jensen, before imploding in 1986.
August 2006 saw the band performing to an ecstatic audience at the UK’s largest punk weekender Wasted festival in Blackpool. Over the past two years, Skeletal Family have topped New York’s Drop Dead Music Festival, played various European / Festival dates, and appeared at Leipzig’s Gotik-Treffen, Europe’s largest Gothic/Alternative festival with an annual attendance of 30,000 people.
