The 2nd CD, 'Electric Chair Music', issued on the band's own Monongo imprint. It's worth noting that band fan LEMMY of MOTÖRHEAD repute, a vocal champion of the band, guests on the track 'B4' found on the 'Voices Of War' EP. The band's fanbase grew substantially during this period and both 'Electric Chair Music' and the EP 'Voices Of War' sold exceptionally well.
SKEW SISKIN's 1999 album WHAT THE HELL, saw the band gaining international popularity once more. Lemmy would get involved with the band once again, penning lyrics for two tracks 'Life's A Bitch' and 'Shoot Out Your Lights'. Nina also took time out to duet on the track 'Run' on POTHEAD's 'Burning Bridges' album.
Initially the group embarked upon a lengthy run of dates as guests to SAXON. Extended live work in Germany witnessed a headline tour in September and October 2000 with SKELETOR as support act. Nina would persevere on the road though, attending some shows of the MOTORHEAD tour acting as special guest vocalist for the encore song 'Born To Raise Hell'. This track had actually been originally written by Lemmy for SKEW SISKIN. Behind the scenes the band had once again fallen victim to a collapsing label as Cultural Minority floundered. Yet again a frustrated SKEW SISKIN was forced to wait out a distribution contract, this time with SPV until the Autumn of 2003. Support from Lemmy and other industry icons such as ALICE COOPER and Twiggy Ramirez from the MARILYN MANSON band helped the group through these tough times.
The band would be relatively quiet during 2001 but did place Stefan Schwarzmann of RUNNING WILD, ACCEPT, U.D.O. repute as their new drummer. Following a lengthy hiatus SKEW SISKIN, with a newly installed bassplayer, returned in September of 2002, acting as opening band for ANTHRAX and MOTORHEAD's UK dates. SKEW SISKIN also revealed a fourth album provisionally billed as 'Waste Your Youth' was nearing completion. Armed with a new drummer, the band was confirmed on a German support tour to MOTORHEAD in November. The record, backed by a promotional video of the single 'The Goddess', finally emerged billed as 'Album Of The Year'. European headline dates commencing in March of 2004 had the band on an extensive run of dates throughout Germany, France, Swizerland and Spain. However, in early April forced the band was forced to cancel the last three shows of their tour when vocalist Nina C. Alice collapsed after a show in Vienna and was rushed to a hospital.
Known to be a strong supporter of the band MOTORHEAD's frontman, Lemmy, guested with the band onstage for the first time on 5th September at the Columbiahalle in Berlin, guesting on the track 'Boogey Man'.
During 2005 the band had been forced to cancel again all their shows for the entire year, due medical treatment Nina C. Alice was undergoing for an infection.
In the beginning of 2006 SKEW SISKIN went back into the studio to start recording a new CD with Henning Menke (ex JINGO DE LUNCH, OJO ROJO) on bass and ex - ANNIHILATOR drummer Randy Black.
Towards the end of 2006 the band will finally hit the road again.

Spend the Night With Me
Skew Siskin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's nothing we ain't seen before
She's foolin' around with all that stands to pee
Your girlfriend's just another whore
Other guys you despise
Take your place in her face
She's a rat
You never know
Who's sleeping in your bed
What's it going to be
She's off her tree
Spend the night with me
I ain't no tease
Spend the night with me
Won't you please
Don't need no romance to get in my pants
Heaven resides between my thighs
'Cause I'm your virgin, I'm your whore
I'm the one you're waiting for
My way, your way
Screw it in, screw it out
Use your head, take your place
Kiss my lips
The one I don't eat with
What's it going to be
Let's get down to sleaze
Spend the night with me
I'm built to please
Spend the night with me
Get down between my knees
Spend the night with me
Spend the night with me
I ain't no tease
Spend the night with me
I'm built to please
Spend the night with me
Get down between my knees
Spend the night with me
Ahh, ahh
Spend the night with me
Built to please
Spend the night with me
And get down between
You know where you gotta go
The lyrics to Skew Siskin's song "Spend the Night With Me" appear to be about a woman who is behaving in a sexually promiscuous manner, much to the dismay of the singer. The singer describes the woman as "deranged" and "foolin' around with all that stands to pee," suggesting that she is sleeping with multiple men. He also implies that she has been unfaithful to her boyfriend, calling her a "whore." The song appears to be a warning to other men to be careful about who they sleep with, as "you never know who's sleeping in your bed." However, the singer also offers himself as an alternative, inviting the woman to "spend the night with me" because he is "built to please."
One interesting aspect of this song is that it is from the perspective of a male narrator who is condemning a woman for her sexual behavior. This is somewhat unusual in rock music, which has traditionally celebrated sexual freedom and rebellion against traditional gender roles. However, the lyrics also suggest that the singer is somewhat hypocritical, as he seems to be offering himself as an alternative to the woman he is criticizing.
