London, England (1976 – 1996, 2002 – 2002)
Siouxsie & the Banshees were an influential rock band which formed in 1976 in London, England. Vocalist Siouxsie Sioux and bassist Steven Severin were the only constant members of the band throughout their existence.
Initially associated with the British punk rock scene, Siouxsie & the Banshees quickly evolved to create “a form of post-punk discord full of daring rhythmic and sonic experimentation”. The Times cited Siouxsie & the Banshees as “one of the most audacious and uncompromising musical adventurers of the post-punk era.” Their music also combined elements of pop and avant-garde.
Siouxsie and the Banshees’ Story
Their first single
Hong Kong Garden reached the top ten in the UK in the summer of 1978.
Their first album, The Scream (1978), is today considered as a classic. The NME wrote in its review : “The band sounds like some unique hybrid of the Velvet Underground mated with much of the ingenuity of Tago Mago-era Can, if any parallel can be drawn…Certainly, the traditional three-piece sound has never been used in a more unorthodox fashion with such stunning results.” Indeed,Switch placed them as pioneers of the post-punk bands.
Their second album was Join Hands (1979); perhaps the darkest album. Guitarist McKay and drummer Morris left the band during a promotion session in a music store at Dublin. Siouxsie was shouting at them once again and that was the last drop. They went straight back to London.

I don't think of this music as music for candles and vampires tales, in my opinion Siouxsie and the Banshees is an awesome band of somber psychedelia, like dark hippies! and anyway.... just like Bauhaus, i think they are so much more than just gothic rock! that's what bothers me about labeling bands.

I hate that HK Garden is top because of Mary Antoinette.... Better songs than that. But on the other hand I'm all for the masses hearing and loving SATB.

Indeed, Nocturne is great, but the remaster is a disappointment. :( Improved sound quality but no bonus tracks or other extras...
