Skunk was the first band of now respected session guitarist Matt Sweeney, who after their breakup went on to form New York City math rock quartet Chavez,[2] and drummer Claude Coleman, Jr., best known for his decades long tenure playing with Ween.[3] Also in the band for its entire history was bassist Matt Quigley, who later went on to form the art-pop group Vaganza.[3]
Although they were not well known while they were active, Skunk were a favorite group of Billy Corgan of the multi-platinum 90s band Smashing Pumpkins, who in 2001 joined forces with Sweeney to form the band Zwan.[4] In the liner notes to the Pumpkins' Pisces Iscariot LP, Corgan wrote of the song "Frail and Bedazzled"
