Skunk Anansie live at the Manchester Apollo (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
Skunk Anansie are currently on a European tour.
Skunk Anansie have returned to this year’s The Painful Truth album with a video for Shame.
It’s described as, ‘one of the most personal songs we’ve ever written’, by Skin, who added:
Many of us feel or get unconnected to our families because of the lives we need to lead in order to be happy; sometimes they just can’t understand who we are if we are not like them and there’s a lot of shame and hurt in that. ‘Shame’ is dedicated to those outcasts, to those kids that go on to find new families that support & love them, give them hope and help them find true contentment.
The European tour will continue at Italy’s Marostica Summer Festival tomorrow, while outdoor spots backing Smashing Pumpkins at Gunnersbury Park in London and Colchester Castle are booked for August.
