SKUNK ANANSIE: Video Of 3FM 'Giel Beelen' Acoustic Performance Posted Online

September 25, 2009

SKUNK ANANSIE vocalist Skin (real name: Deborah Dyer) and guitarist Ace (real name: Martin Kent) took part in an acoustic performance this past Monday (September 21) on the Dutch radio station 3FM during the "Giel Beelen" show. Watch video footage of their appearance below.

The video for the new SKUNK ANANSIE single, "Squander", can be viewed at NME.com.

"Squander" will be released on October 26, 2009 in the U.K. and is the second single to be made available from the band's forthcoming greatest-hits album, "Smashes And Trashes" (which is due on November 2, 2009).

"Smashes and Trashes" is a 15-track career-embracing album. It features classic moments from SKUNK ANANSIE's three LPs — "Paranoid & Sunburnt" (1995),"Stoosh" (1996) and "Post Orgasmic Chill" (1999) — and includes three brand new tracks: "Because Of You", "Tear The Place Up" and "Squander".

SKUNK ANANSIE will embark on the "Greatest Hits Tour" in October/November.

The band played two low-key shows London's Water Rats venue on April 2 and April 3 under the pseudonym S.C.A.M. (a combination of the first-name initials of the four bandmembers).

SKUNK ANANSIE — Skin, bassist Cass (Richard Lewis),Ace and drummer Mark Richardson — split up in 2001 but announced last September that they were writing new material together.

SKUNK ANANSIE was named after the West African folk tales of Anansie the spider-man, with "skunk" added to "make the name nastier."
