Susan Janet Ballion, best known of course as SIOUXSIE SIOUX
the voice and face of 70s punk icons The Banshees was born on
27 May 1957 in London.

Happy 66 to the Goth queen of punk. One of the most
charismatic and drop-dead gorgeous rock stars ever.

What? 66?

With The Banshees she recorded/released 11 studio albums.
With her husband Budgie, she made two LPs under the moniker
of The Creatures. And in 2007 she released her only criminally
underrated, solo longplayer Mantaray.

And she’s back on stage this year.

Dear SIOUXSIE With 20.000 Kisses At CRUEL WORLD Festival In Pasadena, CA

Posted on by JL

23 May 2023

The one-day Cruel World Festival in Pasadena, CA was forced to cut the performances short on Saturday, in the middle of Iggy Pop‘s set, due to inclement weather and impending lightning. Headliner SIOUXSIE‘s show was immediately cancelled.

But the Goth queen and Pop returned, yesterday, to make more than 20,000 people euphoric. Below two fragments of her performance, Dear Prudence and Kiss Them For Me. Don’t expect HQ, but watch a very happy Siouxsie doing what she hadn’t done for 10 years.

Punk Icons SIOUXSIE And BILLY IDOL Meet Again For The First Time In 32 Years

Posted on by JL

Punk icons BILLY IDOL and SIOUXSIE met again for the first time
in 32 years. It happened yesterday, one day before the start of this
weekend’s Cruel World Fest in Pasadena, CA where both artists
will perform.

Both artists were part of the so-called Bromley Contigent in the mid-70s.
A group of young fans and fanatic followers of the Sex Pistols. They helped
popularise the fashion of the early UK punk movement.

White Wedding for Siouxsie.

Kiss Billy for me.
