SKUNK ANANSIE return to Germany for five concerts! SKUNK ANANSIE are back - 30 years after their founding and over eight years since their last studio album, fans can once again look forward to new music and a European tour! When SKUNK ANANSIE formed in London in 1994, the music scene was dominated by Britpop - driven by white men with guitars. However, the four band members - Deborah “Skin” Dyer, Martin “Ace” Kent, Richard “Cass” Lewis, and Robbie - stood out: as one of the first mixed-race bands, they drew attention right from the start. As classic outsiders, they always engaged politically and actively, but above all, they made a name for themselves in Britrock as an outstanding live band. Just weeks after their first gig, they secured a record deal and in 1995 released their debut album ‘Paranoid and Sunburnt’. Shortly after, drummer Robbie France left the band, and Mark Richardson took his place. Their second album, ‘Stoosh’, earned them international breakthrough success in 1996, achieving platinum status in the UK. Three years later, they released ‘Post Orgasmic Chill’ and hit another milestone: after just five years together, they headlined the legendary Glastonbury Festival.
At the beginning of the new millennium, came sad news for many fans: the band announced a break to allow each member more space for their solo projects. But in 2008, they triumphantly returned with a sold-out reunion tour and the “Best-of” album ‘Smashes & Trashes’. In 2010, their fourth studio album ‘Wonderlustre’ was released, achieving gold status in several European countries. Their albums ‘Black Traffic’ (2012) and ‘Anarchytecture’ (2016) also continued their previous successes and were celebrated by both fans and critics.
SKUNK ANANSIE have always been known for their electrifying live performances - from the beginning, they stood out thanks to the charismatic frontwoman, Skin. Their energy shone through when they supported legends like U2, DAVID BOWIE, and AEROSMITH. With over 30 years of band history, SKUNK ANANSIE are rightly regarded as one of the most influential British bands of all time. Their unique interpretation of punk and their timeless political lyrics make them more relevant today than ever. In spring 2025, they will prove this once again: a long-awaited European tour is coming, with five shows in Germany. Anyone who wants to experience this musical highlight live should secure tickets quickly!
