Last week iconic Britrock band Skunk Anansie strutted onto the stage at Brixton Academy in London as part of their two-year postponed Celebrating 25 Years tour. The group played a synth-laden set of hits from across their repertoire, including early material from their acclaimed debut album, as well as Can’t Take You Anywhere and Piggy, which were released as singles this year. The fans were ecstatic, crackling with excitement in a venue packed with bodies and enormous sound. 

The Upcoming’s Mike Garnell was there to shoot the experience.
