Skunk Anansie have announced an exclusive UK stream of a 50-minute edit of their new DVD, on their Youtube channel, ahead of the official full DVD release on Monday.
The UK premiere will take place here at 7pm today, as well as on the band's new Google + page. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the band from the London screening, held today in Notting Hill.
Recorded on April 15, 2013 at Belgravia's storied Cadogan Hall, home of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, ‘An Acoustic Skunk Anansie – Live in London’ sees Skunk Anansie serving up re-imagined versions of some of their best-loved songs, drawing upon material from all five of Skunk Anansie's studio albums (plus the 'Smashes And Trashes' compilation, released in 2009 to celebrate the band's return from a nine year hiatus).
"It was really special," Skin said. "It showcased a whole new side to the band. When you strip everything back a lot of the beauty and vulnerability and menace of the songs shines through in totally new ways, the nuances of the writing really comes through. And people were really listening, really concentrating, instead of jumping up and down and stagediving as is the norm at our concerts. Even though most of the audience had probably seen us play before, at some points it must have been as if they were hearing the band for the very first time."
'An Acoustic Skunk Anansie - Live In London' is available everywhere from Monday September 23.
