SIOUXSIE














I was lucky enough to be at the Siouxsie gig last night. Not a fan of the Shepherds Bush Empire but managed to find a space by the bar between some old punks, a MASSIVE tranny and goth dancing with his arms like Fingermouse.

Siouxsie was incredible though, looked amazing and sounded like a recording (in a good way). Although she did a few classics (Hong Kong Garden, Arabian Nights...) it was more a showcase for the new album which after last night is certified ESSENTIAL. Aged blokes shouting out tracklists were met with stern rebuke as newer material was aired. It felt overwhelming modern and for want of a better word 'dancy' - made me wonder why there wasn't/isn't more Siouxsie-Balearic disco crossover.

This sounded great too:
