Not sure why but Skunk Anansie been on a lot recently. Skin is a dead set legend
Probably because Skin was just “unmasked” as one of the singers on “The masked singer”, whatever that means

Yeah Dunno. Sounds like reality show shit!
Her voice is really distinctive tho, not sure she’s a good masked singer!

If this reminds you of Soundgarden, there's a good reason for that (actually two - Kim Thayil and Matt Cameron).

@antipodean i am listening to them a bit at the moment. They are not bad.

Since i watched a doco called What We Started about the past and the rise of electronic music, i am listening to Gatecrasher Classic Trance Anthems on Spotify all day and remembering what it was like to be young.
Always sort of bums me out that i never made it to the super clubs in the UK before they all went but. I had to be satisfied with going when they brought their shows to NZ.

@pakman One of the songs I can always remember where I was when I first heard it - cleaning grease off the walls off a chippie on New North Road at 6:00 on a Sunday.
There was a widespread rumour at the time that The Knack were The Beatles recording anonymously. Allegedly you could tell it was John and Paul and the drumming had to be Ringo

I almost certainly visited that joint in the early 80s!

@pakman They briefly toured NZ in 79 right at the height of popularity for My Sharona. I remember them at the Auckland Town Hall. They were probably surprised to see a very “alternative” audience but that song got bundled in with the “punk” era that was changing into post punk and new wave.
Basically anything that wasn’t tradition long hair music got caught up in the same bucket.
IIRC Cheap Trick was another town hall show around the same time. -
@crucial Mainstreet, not the Town Hall. I went to one concert in the town hall and the security were smacking people who stood up out of their seats, so never went back.
I went to see The Knack and Midnight Oil around the same time at Mainstreet. I remember nothing about The Knack but Peter Garrett's performance that time will be with me till I die.

Very distant memory that some mates who went absolutely raved about Garrett.
