In Pictures: Skunk Anansie Rock The Kerrang! x Rizla Basement Party

Last night Skunk Anansie came to DJ the Kerrang! x Rizla Basement Party and they were taking no prisoners.

The basement of North London's Hope & Anchor pub was full of Kerrang! competition winners, all buzzing for Cass, Ace and co. to unleash a barrage of bangers.

Skunk Anansie's new live album 25LIVE@25 is out January 25.

Here, she looks back on their journey, including dinners with Nelson Mandela, battling racism, and starting in “a cesspit”…
