Siouxsie & The Banshees Artist Snapshot:

In its crude initial formation in 1976, Siouxsie & the Banshees consisted of members of the "Bromley contingent," a group of notorious Sex Pistols groupies. In various permutations, the band survived for almost 20 years. Featuring core members Siouxsie Sioux and bassist Steve Severin, the group's lineup would go on to include drummer Budgie (Siouxsie's future husband) and, for one album only, the Cure's Robert Smith on guitar. Over the course of their long, influential career, they moved from aggressive post-punk to moody goth and accessible new wave pop-rock. When the band called it quits in the late 1990s, Siouxsie and Budgie turned their side project, the Creatures, into a full-time pursuit. In 2002, Siouxsie & the Banshees reunited for the successful "Seven Year Itch" tour.

Review

Q (p.124) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "'Happy House', ode to schizophrenia 'Christine' and bonus track 'Israel' remain prime examples of their superior art pop."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.120) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t's the minimalist electro daubs of 'Tenant' and 'Red Light' that best withstand posterity's gaze."

Title Note

Siouxsie & The Banshees: Siouxsie Sioux (vocals, guitar, percussion); Steve Severin (guitar, electric sitar, synthesizer, bass); Budgie (bass, drums).

Additional personnel: John McGeoch (acoustic & electric guitars, saxophone, Farfisa); Steve Jones (guitar).

Recorded between January to May 1980.

Siouxsie And The Banshees did well for themselves in poaching John McGeoch from Magazine; his punchy guitar work gives KALEIDOSCOPE its shimmer and sparkle (ex-Sex Pistol Steve Jones also contributes guitar to some tracks). Particular classics featured here include the U.K. Top 10 hit "Happy House," and the moody and atmospheric synth-based "Red Light."

KALEIDOSCOPE is considered the band's best by most fans; the most compelling track is the pro-animal rights/anti-fur and leather anthem "Skin." The album also introduces the redoubtable drummer (and Siouxsie's future husband) Budgie, who stabilized the group for the duration of its career and later went on to form the Creatures with Siouxsie after the Banshees' demise. KALEIDOSCOPE is a must-have for fans and an excellent introduction for newbies.
