Just the first single, it was okay but like you said, mellow. Not really my cup o’tea.

I’m nearly 100% sure that I passed Skin on the street here in Barcelona about 3 weeks ago. It was about 8 in the morning and I’d just come off nightshift, so judgement wasn’t the best, but I really think it was her.

Anyway, Skunk Anansie, great band, sorely missed. Anyone got Skin’s album, if so, any good?

I bought skin’s solo album Fleshwounds a few days ago along with Post Orgasmic Chill.Fleshwounds is a very good solo album and yeah its quite mellow compared to Skunk Anansie anyone expecting loud guitars and shouty vocals will be disappointed.Most of her songs are about failed relationships and her voice is as strong as ever.I like Post Orgasmic Chill as well Charlie Big Potatoe in paticular is a very good song!

i always really liked skunk anansie. i managed to catch their last UK gig (maybe their last ever gig?) at the lost weekend at docklands arena. it’s odd actually as they said at the gig that they’d be taking some time out for a while and then shortly after they announced the split. but anyway, yeah, they were damn good.

(… goes to find his skunk anansie albums)

I believe it was ‘94 or’95 they were T?-s support act here in Belgium. The gig in de Brielpoort in Deinze had to be resheduled because of technical problems (they dis a small acoustic set when almost everybody had left). I believe they also played at Leuven that time.

Anyone seen them too that time?

I loved Skunk Anansie, never got to see them live because my parents wouldn’t let me go to leeds. Curse newcastle’s venues for being too small!

saw them at werchter, don’t know which year. Loved them. I had glasses at that time. Nice small round black frame. I was on the third row. After one song, one glass was out of the frame and the framwe was one line instead of the normal way. I asked the security guy to pull me out of the crowd. The fourth attempt worked :). And he even fixed my glasses :)

I loved Skunk Anansie :D

Woooow that is so weird, I was only thinking yesterday that I wished they’d get back together (and follow suite as everyone else is these days) as they were an amazing band and gave up far too early.

I hope they add more dates as well!

Where did you hear about this????

I never thought I’d say this but…I agree with Dan.

Does anyone remember Rock School with Diedrie Cartright? Well SA are exactly the kind of thing they’d play when they were showing some “rock riffs”…

Agreed - they’re all brilliant musicians in my opinion, Cass, Ace, Skin & Mark (who now for some reason decides to play with Feeder) and I don’t know where you get this idea of ‘average’ from

Heard the first two singles from the new album and have to say they’re sounding good. Can’t honestly say they were ever one of my favourite bands, but I have their old albums and do enjoy them. Looks like they’re continuing where they left off and staying true to their old sound - I wasn’t too sure about the new album when I heard about it - especially as, like I said, they aren’t one of my favourite bands - but I think I’ll probably get it, based on what I’ve heard so far.
