"I really loved the Ants & we did something special. We had a ball & we pulled it off. But it went wrong thru overwork & too much pressure. We allowed ourselves to dive in & do a 2nd album too quickly after Kings." - Stuart Leslie Goddard aka #AdamAnt

Sounds magazine: 15 October 1977. Siouxsie And The Banshees (or rather someone acting in their interests) defiled not one but fifteen different record company buildings walls with the nifty little slogan: Sign Siouxsie and the Banshees. Do it now.

✨ Kafka knew the intoxication of his own isolation, and in Milena, he found a mirror—a flame that threatened to consume the very silence he lived within. Listen closely to the voice of longing, where the only reality is the truth found in their letters. #booksky #kafka #melodicreading #Prague #oc

Smith playing with a local girl, Place Des Vosges, Paris, 1976 (Claude Gassian)
Hope she sees the book and recognises herself playing next to Patti Smith.

They introduced the mohawk to mass American culture, fused punk & metal when these groups despised each other & produced stage shows which included the chainsawing of guitars and the blowing up of full size cars & have yet to be equalled today.
Way more than a rock band.

Andrew Ranken started bellowing on November 13th 1953, at around 8 o'clock in the evening, since when he's never really stopped. He's best known as drummer and occasional singer of #ThePogues

"a live album that reprises their classic material & groove in an honorably autumnal spirit--an album that might tell you something a decade from now. Muddy Waters would be proud." #RobertChristgau

#OnThisDay November 13, 1️⃣9️⃣8️⃣1️⃣ #Japan released Tin Drum which was to be the band’s final studio album, and following a tour they would disband. If you hear one Japan album, the unique and striking Tin Drum should be it.

"Doing Syd's record was interesting but extremely difficult ...by then it was just trying to help Syd any way we could, rather than worrying about getting the best guitar sound.U could forget about that! It was just going into the studio & trying to get him to sing." #RickWright

After a 2-year campaign following their debut at the #100Club #Punk Festival, #SiouxsieAndTheBanshees finally released their 1st album The Scream. A "claustrophobic abyss of angst and angularity" it was an almost instant commercial success, peaking at #12 on the UK albums chart.
