SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES Celebrate The Birth Of JC In French – ‘IL EST NÉ, LE DIVIN ENFANT’

Daily electricity to load your batteries

25 December 2025

In the early eighties Goth icons SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES, with
The Cure‘s Robert Smith as temporary member, covered classic French
Christmas lullaby I’l Est Né Le Divin Enfant. ‘He is born, the divine child’.

The song was published for the first time in 1874 by the organist
of the cathédrale de Saint-Dié-des-Vosges in France.

The Banshees released their version as the B-side of the single Melt.
A great piece from their excellent 1982 LP A Kiss In The Dreamhouse.

Siouxsie in French. Fantastique!

Hallelujah! Let’s all sing for peace,
tolerance, equality, love, unity and
lots of rawk ‘n roll.

IGGY POP And SIOUXSIE Do ‘THE PASSENGER’ Together For Ice Cream Commercial

Posted on by JL

Daily noise that works faster than any stimulant

The punk Godfather IGGY POP scored a timeless classic with
THE PASSENGER from his superb 1977 LP Lust For Life .

Over the years it was covered multiple times. One of the best is
by Siouxsie And The Banshees who covered it for their greatest
hits album Through The Looking Glass in 1987.

Now Pop and Siouxsie recorded a new version of the song together for an ice cream commercial. They slowed it down and gave it an extra glammy and glittery treatment.
It’ll make them a lot of money, but it’s a pretty lukewarm version. The original and
the Banshees 1987 take are untouchable. I rather wake up with those versions
on my headphones than this MAGNUM one.

Goth Queen SIOUXSIE Tomorrow In Belgium – Here’s TURN UP THE VOLUME’s Desirable Setlist

Posted on by JL

SIOUXSIE, born Susan Janet Ballion in Southwark, London 66 years ago,
returned to the podium early this year, after 10 years for a series of
concerts/festivals.

When watching fan-shot footage, it’s notable that the utterly charismatic
Goth Queen is really happy to be back. Check it for yourself below on this
Peek-A-Boo fragment of her show in Brussels last May.

At Pasadena’s Cruel World in California
she also nailed it and attracted 20.000 fans.

And tomorrow she will play Belgium again at the Lokerse Fest.
Can’t wait to see her. For the occasion, I picked 15 songs (a mix of
The Banshees, The Creatures – with her former husband and banshee
drummer Budgie and her only solo album) I would like to she her
perform.
