As we announced recently, Adam Ant will be rounding off his tour dates for the year with one final blow-out at the Roundhouse in London on December 21st. Well, he’s just released news of the support and it’s the band who were so good in the UK earlier this year that they’ll be trailing him round the US shortly, too – the wonderful, rockin’ Glam Skanks!
Glam Skanks are an all-female band who, in addition to their 2017 UK and North American tours opening for Adam, have also opened for Alice Cooper, The Skids, played as Cherie Currie’s (The Runaways) backup band, have a song (“Miss Androgynous”) in Kevin Smith’s Yoga Hosers movie, jammed with Joe Perry of Aerosmith and released their album Glitter City. So they know their stuff.
Glam Skanks will bring their rock-drenched, glitter-rock set to the stage in support of their album, Glitter City, featuring their new single, “Karma”, a follow-up sequel to their first single “Bad Bitch”.
On Glitter City, produced by Bruce Witkin and Ryan Dorn, Glam Skanks create a technicolour audiovisual feast using familiar tints from T Rex, The Runaways, David Bowie and The Sweet with the genuine rock sensibility of Aerosmith wrapped in a full-blown cosmetic Rocky Horror Picture Show meets Hedwig and the Angry Inch androgyny. Like a rock and rollercoaster ride in a blazing cloud of feather-boa glitter with a swagger that screams Sunset Strip dreams and Hollywood nights, the album is “drag rock” for the masses.
