Title: Skunk Anansie
Post by: Guillaume on October 18, 2013, 07:22:39 PM
What do you think of this band?
It seems that there are a few fans of them on this board...
i saw them live two years ago and i was impressed, i must say...Skin is a so energetic, charismatic leading lady!...and her voice!!  8):

I was never a huge fan, my good lady likes em tho. Cannot deny Skin has a beautiful n powerful voice housed in a tiny teeny frame!
Watched the Unplugged thing on Sky Arts a while back and was impressed I admit.......

I'm sure I posted a thread about this bloody awesome band a while back...   ;)

Whatever, they're amazing, seen them about four times since they reformed... truly excellent.

And Black Traffic is possibly their best album....

I'm going to buy the cd very soon, thanks to your good review.

A good place to start... love this song.  Other than NMA, possibly the best live band I've ever seen...

I agree Master Ray great song! what a voice she has!!
Now i have to order the cds of her solo album and "Black Traffic" ASAP!!
What did you think of the album "Wonderlustre"?
I thought it was pretty good, "God loves only you" is a great, so catchy opening song on this album..."I am one again! I am born again!!":

Really like it G, wasn't sure about it on first listen (first album in ten years or so) and it lacked the hard rock edge that had the first time around... but I've grown to love it, listen to it quite a lot.  Still like Black Traffic better, though.  Deffo worth checking out live if you get the chance.  Skin is just ******* phenomenal...

You ever seen the 'My Ugly Boy' video?  If not, enjoy...

And here's one from the greatest hits album that you might not know, 'Tear The Place Up', this goes down a treat live...

I've seen them live 3 years ago in my hometown and yes, it was great indeed!...Skin is so energetic!

"My ugly boy" is a fine song too.

Great band, fond memories of seeing them on The White Room - channel 4 music show around 95? They did Selling Jesus which was their first single and Skin had a white cross painted across her head and face. Caught them live a few years later and they were excellent. Albums are consistently good too. Didn't know they had a new one will check that out.

Seeing as they've got a new album out in January, I thought I'd bump this thread...

... and here's their new single, which I'm loving...
