Details: Rockhal has announced details of all-seated Skunk Anansie concert on 13 March 2014 (doors open at 19:00).
That date will see the renowned British rock band Skunk Anansie performing beautifully re-imagined versions of some of their best songs before the audience of the Rockhal. An Acoustic Skunk Anansie is an intimate portrait of a band boldly toying with convention and their own illustrious history, it's a timely reminder that, even as Skunk Anansie approach their 20th anniversary as a band, the Londoners retain the power to provoke and surprise. Despite an impressive list of achievement with their studio albums and their hit singles, it’s fair to say that one can only understand Skunk Anansie’s uniqueness after having seen them live in concert!
Recorded in 2013 at Belgravia's storied Cadogan Hall, home of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, “An Acoustic Skunk Anansie – Live in London” sees renowned British rock band Skunk Anansie serving up beautifully re-imagined versions of some of their best-loved songs before an enrapt audience of 900 fans. Tickets for the event sold out within hours of going on sale and having seen the finished results it’s easy to see why.
"It was really special," says Skin. "It showcased a whole new side to the band. When you strip everything back a lot of the beauty and vulnerability and menace of the songs shines through in totally new ways, the nuances of the writing really comes through. And people were really listening, really concentrating, instead of jumping up and down and stagediving as is the norm at our concerts. Even though most of the audience had probably seen us play before, at some points it must have been as if they were hearing the band for the very first time."
Drawing upon material from all five of Skunk Anansie's studio albums, “An Acoustic Skunk Anansie - Live In London” is an astonishing document of the night. From bruised and beautiful set opener 'Brazen (Weep)' through to the funky, Zeppelin-esque stomp of 'Charlie Big Potato' which brought the evening to a euphoric climax, it's a unique snapshot of an iconic band performing at the peak of their powers.
The late Nashville songwriter Harlan Howard once opined that all the best songwriting could be summarised as 'three chords and the truth': re-contextualised here in acoustic form, Skunk Anansie's open-hearted anthems have never sounded more powerful or affecting.
It’s easy to imagine the excitement in the air, on stage and in the audience, when Skunk Anansie will walk on stage at the Rockhal on 13 March 2014 for their acoustic performance. Be a part of this unique opportunity when front woman Skin and her guys give it all!
