EXCELLENT TRIPLE DISC SET OF LIVE BANSHEES PERFORMANCES
• Formed in London in 1976 by vocalist Siouxsie Sioux and bass guitarist Steven Severin, Siouxsie and The Banshees have been
widely influential, both over their contemporaries and with later acts. Q magazine included John McKay's guitar playing on ‘Hong Kong
Garden’ in their list of "100 Greatest Guitar Tracks Ever". The Times called the group “one of the most audacious and uncompromising
musical adventurers of the post-punk era".
• Initially associated with the punk scene, the band rapidly evolved to create "a form of post-punk discord full of daring rhythmic and
sonic experimentation". Their debut album The Scream was released in 1978 to widespread critical acclaim. Following membership
changes, including the addition of guitarist McGeogh and drummer Budgie, they radically changed their musical direction and became
one of the most successful alternative pop groups of the 1980s. Their third album Kaleidoscope (1980) peaked at number 5 in the UK
Albums Chart. With Juju (1981) which also reached the top 10, they became an influence on the emerging gothic scene. In 1988, the
band made a breakthrough in North America with the multifaceted album Peepshow, which received critical praise. With substantial
support from alternative rock radio stations, they achieved a mainstream hit in the US in 1991 with ‘Kiss Them for Me’.
• During their career, Siouxsie and the Banshees released 11 studio albums and 30 singles. The band experienced several line-up
changes, with Siouxsie and Severin being the only constant members. They disbanded in 1996, with Siouxsie and Budgie continuing
to record music as the Creatures, a second band they had formed in the early 1980s. In 2004, Siouxsie began a solo career.
• This new 3CD collection serves to celebrate the astonishing career of the Banshees, as well as to highlight the bands stunning music,
notably in a live setting.
• DISC ONE features their show performed at the California Hall in San Francisco on, 26th November 1980, a few months after the
release of the third album Kaleidoscope. For DISC TWO we jump forward to 5th February 1983, when we find the group performing at
the Shibuya Koukaidou, in Tokyo, during the Banshees first Japanese tour. DISC THREE concludes this incredible collection with the
band’s performance at the K-ROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas show at the Universal Amphitheatre in California, on 21st December
1991.
