Skin Games

Skin Games

Skin Games were a British pop/rock band of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Critically acclaimed as artists, they never gained commercial success, and broke up after just one album release, "The Blood Rush", released in 1989. The soaring vocal style of lead singer Wendy Page has been compared with both Kate Bush and The Cocteau Twins but the music is otherwise hard to categorise. The band released a number of singles from the album, but only "Brilliant Shining" managed to gain any significant airplay. Other notable tracks include the Steve Hillage-produced "Cowboy Joe", "Where the Wild Things Are" and "Tirade".

Skin Games were:
* Wendy Page (vocals)
* Jim Marr (bass guitar)
* Jonny Willett (lead guitar)
* Dave Innes (drums)
* Adam Lee (keyboards)

Despite sinking with relatively little trace, Wendy Page went on to pen some big hits for Martine McCutcheon - "Perfect Moment", and Billie Piper - "Honey to the Bee". Page also wrote Dangerous To Know on Hilary Duff's second album. She also continues to have a solo career in her own right.
