skunkanansieIt's astonishing for how long SKUNK ANANSIE's front woman has managed to be one of the most dazzling figures in rock biz. Just a few weeks ago Skin graced the cover of the Italian Vanity Fair with a megaphone in her hands and now she's announcing to bring back her band where it belongs: on stage. This where the British woman still explodes as she did back in the mid-nineties. In those days, she appeared like the punky daughter of Grace Jones jumping around dressed in army pants and heavy Docs, licking over her bassist's bald head, and screaming at the audience: "Who put the little baby swastikka on the wall?"

People used to marvel at SKUNK ANANSIE as newcomers until their second record ‘Stoosh’ entered the charts. With the success of the ballad ‘Hedonism - Just Because You Feel Good’ they brought a lesbian love relationship into the mainstream in an unbiased way. After their third album, ‘Post Orgasmic Chill’, and many tours, they called it quits in 2001, before they braced themselves in 2009 giving the world two new albums, a ‘Best of’ and an acoustic live album in 2013.

One can assume that the currently announced tour will once again display all facets of the band: the explosive earlier pieces, that the strangely ageless seeming Skin still can sing and shout in a credible way; and their most multifaceted late work, which the band at times presents as ballads and at times as riot rock, such as in ‘I Will Break You’, the opener of the last album ‘Black Traffic’ from 2012. The band itself has recently announced on their website that they're ushering in a new era. What exactly does this mean? We'll get the answer, at the latest in 2016 when SKUNK ANANSIE, supported by BONES, will be in here Germany for two gigs.
