LA’s Glam Skanks opened for Adam Ant on September 7th, 2019 at the Vic Theatre in Chicago, Illinois; the rhinestoned rock outfit have been supporting 80s rock warrior Adam Ant, who is currently performing the entirety of his 1982 solo debut Friend or Foe to a select few venues in the United States (and beyond). That evening, the leather-clad sparkle sisters set to the stage with ripped fishnets, turquoise hair, and fierce, fun, femininity to perform their brazen brand of anthemic rock before a nearly sold-out audience.

The Glam Skanks are vocalist Vanessa Von Lust, guitarist Veronica Volume, bassist Millie Chan and drummer Jessica Goodwin. The band’s debut release Glitter City comprised most of their set and is jam-packed with mouthy mantras and sexually-charged glam-rock worth your time if you, like me, quickly recognize that Glam Skanks actually embody much of the humor, sex appeal, and showy subversive rock goodness of Adam and the Ants.
