I worked on this video, as assistant to the director. I’m at 1:24 and various other points throughout. It was a long shoot and a lot of fun. We finished about six the next morning after an early start the previous day. No sleep for well over 24 hours.I got on well with all the band and was on call to assist them in their performances. Really lovely bunch of people. That red paint took days to get off though. I went shortly after with the director to watch them play at the Brixton Academy. I had a beaming smile when Skin saw me at the bar in the afterparty and shouting “Leon!” ran across the room and gave me a hug. Great song, great band and great memories.

I also love this video and all of Skunk Anansie's songs. Like all their fans, I have all the albums and I was sad to see that the band had broken up those many years ago. I tried to follow Skin's music as much as I could over here in NZ, but its been difficult. She has such a beautiful voice and i've missed the hard edge of SA's lyrics and rock. So I was extremely pleased to hear they are getting back together. (Don't want to say the "R" word.. lol ) ...SNM

SKUNK ANANSIE - STOOSH Skunk Anansie are a British rock band whose members include Skin (lead vocals, guitar), Cass (bass, guitar, backing vocals), Ace (guitar, backing vocals) and Mark Richardson (drums and percussion). Skunk Anansie formed in 1994, disbanded in 2001 and reformed in 2009. The name "Skunk Anansie" is taken from Akan folk tales of Anansi the spider-man of Ghana, with "Skunk" added to "make the name nastier". They have released six studio albums: Paranoid & Sunburnt (1995), Stoosh (1996), Post Orgasmic Chill (1999), Wonderlustre (2010), Black Traffic (2012) and Anarchytecture (2016); one compilation album, Smashes and Trashes (2009); and several hit singles, including "Charity", "Hedonism", "Selling Jesus" and "Weak". They are often grouped as part of the Britrock movement, as opposed to the contemporary Britpop of their early years due to their overall harder sound. The band, in 2004, was named as one of the most successful UK chart acts between 1952 and 2003 by the Guinness Book of British Hit Singles & Albums, with a total of 142 weeks on both the singles and album charts ranking them at No. 491. Skunk Anansie have sold 5 million records. Influences: Skin has described Skunk Anansie as a "clit-rock" group, which Allmusic clarifies as "an amalgam of heavy metal and black feminist rage". Members Skin and Ace have mentioned the Sex Pistols, Blondie, dub, reggae, electronica, hip-hop and world music as significant influences. Other media: The band also covered The Stooges' song "Search and Destroy" specifically for the soundtrack of Zack Snyder's film Sucker Punch, released on 25 March 2011. The soundtrack also includes a Skunk Anansie remix of the song "Army of Me" by Björk. Band members: Deborah "Skin" Dyer - lead vocals, guitar, theremin, piano, keyboards (1994-2001; 2009-present), Martin "Ace" Kent - guitar, backing vocals (1994-2001; 2009-present), Richard "Cass" Lewis - bass, guitar, backing vocals (1994-2001; 2009-present), Mark Richardson - drums, percussion, backing vocals (1995-2001; 2009-present), Former members: Robbie France - drums, percussion (1994-1995; died 2012), Touring members: Erika Footman - keyboards, backing vocals. The discography of Skunk Anansie, an English rock band, consists of six studio albums and twenty-four singles, including one re-issue. The band's members include Skin (Deborah Dyer), Cass (Richard Lewis), Ace (Martin Kent) and Mark Richardson. The group formed in 1994 and disbanded in 2001; they re-united in 2009. Skunk Anansie are named after the West African folk tales of Anansi the Spider-man, with "Skunk" added to "make the name nastier". And I have the great, great honor of having five CD-albums in my discography, including the greatest hits collection by Skunk Anansie, led by the charismatic vocalist and songwriter, Skin. Therefore, I have the CD-Album PARANOID & SUNBURNT (1995), only a single copy. The second studio CD-Album, STOOSH (1996), I think was the biggest commercial success of the group, I also have a single copy of this CD-Album. I still have two units of Skunk Anansie's third studio CD-Album, entitled POST ORGASMIC CHILL (1999), one of my favorites. And, finally, also a single copy of the collection SMASHES AND TRASHES (2009), also on CD-Album, which includes the hits from the three previous CD-albums, three new songs and two acoustic versions. As I mentioned, there are five Skunk Anansie CD-albums! Stoosh is the second studio album by British rock band Skunk Anansie, released on 7 October 1996. Professional ratings: AllMusic's Tom Demalon stated: "Skunk Anansie's full-frontal charge can be wearing at times, but for a good dose of aggressive, hard rock with better-than-average lyrics, Stoosh succeeds more than it fails." Tom Sinclair of Entertainment Weekly wrote that the record "finds Skunk Anansie trading their debut's polite Pat Benatar-ish rock for a bigger, more confrontational sound that flirts with metallic overkill even as it embraces folk and pop", adding that "they've toughened up with Stoosh." In 2005, Stoosh was ranked number 367 in Rock Hard magazine's book The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time. In 2020, PopMatters's Enio Chiola featured the record on its list for "15 Overlooked and Underrated Albums of the 1990s." Personnel: Skunk Anansie: Skin - vocals, theremin, backing vocals, Cass - bass guitar, backing vocals, Ace - guitars, Mark Richardson - drums, percussion, backing vocals.

When I was younger, my sister and I were in an actingschool. My sister was a year above me and she had to play Medea in the play "Jason and Medea". When the part came where she had to kill her children and herself, this song started playing. She had to totally go crazy. It was, and still is one of the greatest acting performances I've ever seen. People were speechless. Here you had a girl, 13 years old, who was giving her all, who was raging and screaming as if she really was betrayed by her lover. Now, seven years later, I still think of this moment.
