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."

“Siouxsie 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

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: “Barry Manilow or wanker?”"

“While chronologically the set’s closest tracks to the Banshees, they also sound like them. The fantastic “The Blessed West” is along the lines of “Playground Twist” and Join Hands’ “Regal Zone.” It hints at what might have come next for the Banshees.”
