The group's original members met at Cheltenham Girls High School in northern Sydney in 1994 and decided to form a band.
[4] After an initial period establishing itself on the Sydney live circuit the band came to the attention of independent label Chatterbox Records[5] and in 2000 Skulker released the album Too Fat for Tahiti.
The band also played alongside one of their major music influences, Veruca Salt, in Sydney's The Metro Theatre in July that year.
Early 2004 also found the band opening for Pink in Sydney and Newcastle and touring nationally supporting The Superjesus.
Following the replacement of Batti with new guitarist Gregory Boulting, Skulker toured the east coast of Australia and recorded extensive demos of new material that have never been released.
