Melissa Auf der Maur and Skin talk to Tiffany Murray

This conversation between two icons makes for an unmissable evening of vivid reflections on the 1990s rock scene and what it means to be a woman in music. Melissa Auf der Maur, former bassist of rock bands Hole and the Smashing Pumpkins, and Skunk Anansie’s lead singer Skin come together for a frank and fascinating discussion that is a must-see for music fans. The pair discuss their memoirs, the cost of fame and influence, and their groundbreaking successes, with Tiffany Murray, author of My Family and Other Rock Stars.

Auf der Maur’s Even the Good Girls Will Cry: My 90s Rock Memoir recounts her story, including how she joined Hole, fronted by Courtney Love, shortly after the deaths of Kurt Cobain and Hole’s previous bassist. Skin, author of It Takes Blood and Guts, is one of the most influential women in British rock, has headlined Glastonbury and was championing LGBTQ+ rights at a time when few artists were out and gay.
