My wife recently won tickets for a Skunk Anansie concert two weeks ago in Hanover. She wanted to take an old friend of hers, they were going to a lot of their concerts in the 90ies. She couldn't make it so I was second in line and happily joined my wife. The show was in front of only 250 people in a small concert hall with great acoustics. It was perfect, Skins unique voice, her presence on stage and the stories they told between the songs made it such an inspiring and enjoyable evening, it still resonates with me. Listening to how their songs came together really made you feel as if they are just sitting at your kitchen table late at night chatting about the old times, like you had known them for a long time ... which is parasocial but also kind of true, thinking of the time when I started going to Punk clubs in the 90ies and first heard their songs, dealing with the ups and downs of growing up ourselves – that's maybe why their songs felt so relatable and true all along.
You can listen to the concert here – I think it's not geoblocked but you have to get past the trashy german radio station intro:
