Siouxsie & The Banshees: Peepshow. Another fantastic album from Siouxsie Sioux. It has to me a very 80s sound but transcends the time as well. #ArtIsResistance #vinyl #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #nowplaying #nowspinning #music

US press review of Hyaena from 1984:

"The quality of the music usually has little to do with such breakthroughs, but for once it may coincide with one of the strongest collections of material ever released by Siouxsie and the Banshees."

β€œSiouxsie tried out her newfound kung fu on me and barged me in the back. That was enough – I walked out and Kenny came with me”: A brawl ended John McKay’s tenure with Siouxsie and the Banshees, but ... A two-year stint left McKay with fans including the Edge, Robert Smith and Geordie Walker, plus a stack of demo tapes that he’s finally turned into an album

"A master innovator who gained merit from guitar greats including the Edge to Robert Smith, John McKay embarked on his post-punk career after a friend convinced him to ditch his paintbrush, leading him into a two-year tango with Siouxsie and the Banshees."

How Siouxsie Sioux and Marc Almond met in a London sex shop Siouxsie Sioux and Marc Almond aren't necessarily an unlikely pair of friends, but the origin of their friendship is a rather amusing tale.

β€œSiouxsie and Budgie were staring down at me, I was holding a cock ring. I was like a rabbit caught in headlights. Siouxsie told me how much she loved our music in her husky, sexy voice, and I was enthralled.”

Sounds like Budgie's memoir will be warts and all ... "One evening in 2002, Sioux found a Polaroid of Budgie, which he was intending to send to his new girlfriend in Los Angeles. She scrawled across it with a Sharpie: β€œBarry Manilow or wanker?”"

The four songs that influenced Siouxsie Sioux the most Siouxsie Sioux named the four songs that impacted her the most from the British music scene, with music from David Bowie, T Rex, Sparks, and Roxy Music.

"Sioux and the band were innovators in the sense that they felt entirely authentic, but they also built upon the worlds founded by others, using them as a leg up to reach new heights of musical brilliance."

Siouxsie and The Banshees' Budgie for The Absence | The List As a member of Big in Japan, The Slits and, most famously, Siouxsie and The Banshees and The Creatures, 'Budgie' became one of the era-defining drummers in the much-mythologised post punk scene of the...

More on Budgie's upcoming autobiography THE ABSENCE

"Budgie's life is both fabulously glamorous and a tawdry cautionary tale. For the first time, the story of this most exalted and mysterious of bands has been told by one who survived inside the belly of the beast."

Music Reissues Weekly: John McKay - Sixes and Sevens Sixes and Sevens is a surprise. A big one. Since leaving Siouxsie and the Banshees in September 1979, John McKay has largely been a mystery. On record, the only suggestion this influential guitarist h...

β€œWhile chronologically the set’s closest tracks to the Banshees, they also sound like them. The fantastic β€œThe Blessed West” is along the lines of β€œPlayground Twist” and Join Hands’ β€œRegal Zone.” It hints at what might have come next for the Banshees.”
