Skin was a wondrous front person, prowling the stage, throwing the mic stand, standing atop the security fence by the stage, and even getting down and dirty with guitarist Ace. What impressed this reviewer most, though was the quality and power of her voice. Seldom has a singer's voice sent chills down my spine, but hers did. Couple that with the band's hard rocking tone, catchy melodies, quirky changes, sense of humor and energetic performance, and this is one act that left you wishing they would play forever. Watch for Skunk Anansie and expect great things from them.
