There are sold out shows, and there are SOLD OUT shows. Skunk Anansie’s appearance at Nottingham Rock City is most certainly the latter, the venue positively heaving just before the main act take to the stage. Former Glastonbury headliners and one of the finest and sharpest bands in the alt rock canon, it would take a pack of rabid hounds to keep us away from seeing the band as part of their 25th anniversary celebrations. Cramming ourselves in down the sides (with bodies cluttering the balconies, the floor, the walls and just about every surface you can put a grimy hand to), the roar of excitement as the band take to the stage is nothing short of explosive, somehow yielding even louder results as iconic vocalist Skin takes to the stage with dazzling gold shoulder pads that wouldn’t look out of place in a World of Warcraft cosplay. But then, this is Skunk Anansie, a band larger than life and filled with all the vitality of the same, never giving less than a thousand percent.
