09th January 2009 - Skunk Anansie Reform?!?!
Dear all,
It has been five and a half years since this website has been last updated!
It may appear that Skunk Anansie has reformed! Evidence:
The Sun's Showbiz Bizarre Gossip Page
Skunk Anansie Myspace Page (set-up by Ace apparently)
Skin's Myspace page "format-3.com SKUNK ANANSIE GIGS also coming soon..."
Skin's V2 Myspace Page
Skin's official forum
Interview with Mark Richardson for Drummer Magazine
It appears they are reuniting for a greatest hits tour which may perhaps coincide with the release of a greatest hits album. It has also been confirmed that new songs are being written. However, the format by which these songs will be released (if at all) is unconfirmed.
I do not think I will have the time to update this website in a timely or informative manner. That is why I will now say thank you for reading this website and it has been a pleasure making it! Bye!

Thanks to Elsa for the link.
I'm really sorry, but I've made yet another mistake. The track Skin performed at the TMF Awards was in fact 'Faithfulness' and not 'Ten' as I reported earlier. 'Faithfulness' will appear on her debut album of which I will have tracklisting soon. Many apologies. Thanks to Cisko and Simon for the update.
You can watch the video for 'Trashed' on Skin's Official Website. The video is now showing on various music channels including 'Kerrang!', 'MCM', VIVA and 'MTV Europe'. Thanks to Cisko for the tip.
Here are some pictures from the video:
