Release Notes:
Siouxsie and the Banshees were among the longest-lived and
most successful acts to emerge from the London punk
community; over the course of a career that lasted two
decades, they evolved from an abrasive, primitive art punk
band into a stylish, sophisticated unit that even notched
a left-field Top 40 hit.
Throughout its numerous lineup changes and textural
shifts, the group remained under the leadership of
vocalist Siouxsie Sioux, born Susan Dallion on May 27,
1958. She and the Banshees' initial lineup emerged from
the Bromley Contingent, a notorious group of rabid Sex
Pistols fans; inspired by the growing punk movement,
Dallion adopted the name Siouxsie and formed the Banshees
in September 1976. In addition to bassist Steve Severin
and guitarist Marco Perroni, the band included drummer
John Simon Ritchie, who assumed the name Sid Vicious; they
debuted later that year at the legendary Punk Festival
held at London's 100 Club, where their entire set
consisted of a savage, 20-minute rendition of "The Lords
Prayer."
Soon after, Vicious joined the Sex Pistols, while Perroni
went on to join Adam & the Ants. The core duo of Sioux and
Severin, along with new guitarist John McKay and drummer
Kenny Morris, reached the U.K. Top Ten with their 1978
debut single, "Hong Kong Garden"; their grim, dissonant
first LP, The Scream, followed later in the year. Two days
into a tour for their 1979 follow-up, Join Hands, both
McKay and Morris abruptly departed, and guitarist Robert
Smith of the Cure (the tour's opening act) and ex-Slits
and Big in Japan drummer Budgie were enlisted to fill the
void; although Smith returned to the Cure soon after,
Budgie became a permanent member of the group, and
remained with the Banshees throughout the duration of
their career.
With ex-Magazine guitarist John McGeoch on board, the band
returned to the studio for 1980's Kaleidoscope, a subtler
and more melodic effort than their prior records; on the
strength of the U.K. Top 20 smash "Happy House," the album
reached the Top Five. A year later, the Banshees released
the psychedelic Juju, along with Once Upon a Time, a
collection of singles; at the same time, Sioux and Budgie
formed the Creatures, an ongoing side project. Following
1982's experimental A Kiss in the Dreamhouse, McGeoch fell
ill, and Smith temporarily rejoined for the group's
planned tour; a pair of 1983 performances at London's
Royal Albert Hall were recorded and later issued as
Nocturne. Also in 1983, Severin and Smith teamed as the
one-off project the Glove for the LP Blue Sunshine.
After his recovery, McGeoch opted not to return, so the
Banshees recruited former Clock DVA guitarist John
Carruthers after Smith exited following the sessions for
1984's dark, atmospheric Hyaena. With 1986's Tinderbox,
Siouxsie and the Banshees finally reached the U.S. Top 100
album charts, largely on the strength of the excellent
single "Cities in Dust." After 1987's all-covers
collection Through the Looking Glass, Carruthers took his
leave and was replaced by ex-Specimen guitarist Jon Klein
and keyboardist Martin McCarrick for 1988's Peepshow, a
techno-inspired outing that gave the group its first U.S.
chart single with "Peek-a-Boo."
In 1991 -- the year in which Sioux and Budgie married --
the Banshees performed on the inaugural Lollapalooza tour;
their concurrent LP, Superstition was their most
commercially successful, spawning their lone U.S. Top 40
hit, "Kiss Them for Me." Another singles collection, Twice
Upon a Time, followed in 1992 before the group returned
after a long absence with 1995's stylish The Rapture,
produced in part by John Cale. A year later, the nostalgia
surrounding the reunion of their former heroes the Sex
Pistols prompted Siouxsie and the Banshees to finally call
it quits; Siouxsie and Budgie turned to the Creatures as
their primary project, while Severin composed the score
for the controversial film Visions of Ecstasy.
