fidelityfiend Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 This could be one of the best bands you've never heard - intense rock/punk tempered with great use of dynamics and socially conscious lyrics - I don't know if they are still recording or performing - definitely worth checking out. Recommended listening: "Stoosh" "Paranoid & Sunburnt" "Post Orgasmic Chill" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth-Angel Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Skunk Anansie, yeah they were huge in SA a few years ago, pretty good live too. Skin's solo stuff wasn't too great though. The best songs I'd say were: Hedonism Twisted (everyday hurts) Secretly Charity Brazen (weep) Charlie big potato Lately We don't need who you think you are Carmen Queasy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxy Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Hedonism Twisted (Everyday Hurts) Brazen (Weep) A couple of the songs above used to get played when I was in a really bad mood ~ I think 'Twisted' was the one that got overplayed and lead to me not listening to them anymore! :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Just how poor is Skin's solo stuff? Interested to know as I'm off to see her in concert on Sunday night. Skunk Anansie were fantastic live, though I found their recorded stuff "tailed off" after their first excellent album "Paranoid & Sunburnt". Skin was an incredibly awe-inspiring, captivating performer, very striking and with a fantastic voice. But poor material can let even the best of performers down. Hope its not been a waste of twenty quid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxy Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 I was not impressed by her solo stuff, seemed samey and boring if I'm honest. But that's only my opinion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recommended listening: "Stoosh" "Paranoid & Sunburnt" "Post Orgasmic Chill" They are definitely not still recording/ performing as Skunk split a few years ago. However Skin (singer) now performs in her own name with a new band who I saw live last night. They "rocked hard" but in a less "metal", more "indie-rock" vein than Skunk. Good stuff.They did alot of new material from their forthcoming album, due out next March. (Didn't catch the full title "Fake chemical something-or-other") as well as a few Skunk Anansie tracks. The latter were the "let-downs" for me, to be honest. They did the "lighters-in-the-air" crowd-pleasers "Weak" and "Hedonism (Just because it feels Good)", 'twas a bit cheesy at those points. They finished with a cracking cover of Electronic's "Getting Away With It" and a superb rendition of "I Can Dream", one of Skunk Anansie's best tracks. But still worth checking out, despite my little grumbles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
