Face Of Cheam

Amazingly I had never seen Skunk Anansie before. Recently reformed after nearly a decade this warm up show for their greatest hits tour was an opportunity to at last see them (I have all their three albums which are great) as the Brixton date in November clashed with another gig. Greatest hits was the key and the set opened with Selling Jesus with Skin the singer dressed like a glittery porcupine. After the outrageous coat was ditched the show continued with I Can Dream and then Because and Charity. The three new songs from their forthcoming compilation were played which sounded good and aside from the obvious hits such as Weak, Brazen (Weep) and Hedonism, a couple of album tracks also made the set such as 100 Ways To Be A Good Girl. The show ended with Little Baby Swastika and ended a thoroughly enjoyable night. How did I miss them first time around? Skin said the band would have a few drinks at the bar afterwards but i decided not to hang around as I know I would only p1ss off the drummer Mark Richardson by begging for a Little Angels reformation.
