Artist History This is the equation of the fresh crossover-8-man band built around the singer Frank Liesener that generates an explosive mix. Modesty is not their thing: they draw on elements of cool jazz, hip hop and reggae, without restraint, in order to present these to the unsuspecting listeners with the versatility of a chameleon. Shortly after forming in '97, the band from Mühlheim upon the river Ruhr was able to put out an Album that was praised even by their critically judging American comrades. Their impressive reviews (10 out of 10 ratings) and feedback from their fans can be witnessed on their own homepage "www.skunk.de". The names of well known American bands, that have expressed their respect with regards to Skunk, can be found there as well. The Singer: "Young 'n angry" describes the extroverted side of this 25-year-old vivacious singer. Drug excess, 2 kids, successes in the martial arts and skating (European champion), arrest due to computer-hacking and much more make up the backbone of this songwriter who has since turned clean and introspective. Where else do songs get their expressful contents? From life of course and Frank has a lot to say about that! The Band: Till Steinebach is responsible for the tight but changing rhythm. Christian Lotte and Thomas Block are the authors of the polished and forceful riffs. The smart brass (trombone, trumpet and sax) are blown by Matthias Möller, Nikolaus Neuser and Kai Dorgharden. The mellow energetic bass is played by Sebastian Deutsch. It's no wonder that such a colorful combination of individualists is marked by versatility and variation. The Album: The 18-song album appeared in July of '98 on the Hamburg indie-label Art Beat Records, and is distributed by BMG/Aris. The Scene: Skunk happens in an environment of fun-sport-freaks. Without their unconditional support, the band would not be where they are today. The companies Ozone, Innes, Fact and Bullywear, with their unbureucratic sponsorship, have contributed to Skunk's success. The Tour: The band will go on the "Santa Claus Tour '98" along with two other American bands after performing a series of local gigs in their native "Ruhr-pot" (a region named after the River Ruhr Valley once marked by heavy industries such as steel, the most populated area of Germany). The tour will take them through cities in Germany, Switzerland, Italy and France. Performances are being planed for the upcoming year in the U.S. and Jamaica with help from Bullywear. What Are they saying......?: REDLINE UNDERGROUND / Berkley, California: "The best ska-core band from germany I have ever heard...." RED ANGRY PLANET : "This is the german answer of no doubt!!!"
