A New Era for Skunk Anansie
Formed in London in 1994, Skunk Anansie quickly made their mark with politically charged lyrics and bold musical experimentation. The band, celebrated for hits like “Hedonism (Just Because You Feel Good)”, “Weak”, and “Selling Jesus”, are known for challenging social norms and pushing the boundaries of rock with their multicultural influences and Skin’s unapologetic queer visibility.
