 Siouxsie Sioux interview in the February 1995 Mean Street Magazine
SIOUXSIE SIOUX has heard so much about last year's punk rock resurgence in America that her reaction to it is hardly surprising, "I've been asked about Green Day, and [every time], I just burst out laughing - uncontrollably across the Atlantic," says the singer, calling after a late-night group rehearsal in London.
Siouxsie's longevity stems from the fact that she has remained oblivious to all the hype and labels pinned on the band.

 Juju by Siouxsie and the Banshees
Siouxsie and company took things to an entirely new level of darkness on Juju, with the singer taking delight in sinister wordplay on the disturbing "Head Cut," creeping out listeners in the somewhat tongue-in-cheek "Halloween," and inspiring her bandmates to push their rhythmic witches brew to poisonous levels of toxicity.
Siouxsie's mysterious voice emerges from dense guitar picking, Budgie lays into his drums as if calling soldiers to war, and things get more tense from there.
Siouxsie is full of such quips throughout the album's running time, but her delivery packs as much punk as her message.

 Guardian Unlimited | Arts reviews | Siouxsie Sioux, 100 Club, London
At the first of Siouxsie Sioux's three shows in this basement cupboard (which sold out in hours), status was determined by who had seen Sioux the last time she played here.
The men rattled things, Siouxsie mucked in with staccato cries and the result was closer to performance art than to pop music.
Siouxsie and Budgie may be polished veterans now, but Happy House, Christine and Dear Prudence still pulsed with menace and primal percussion.

 Siouxsie & The Banshees
Siouxsie is still reveling in her Goth intonations, and McKay is still reveling in his punkish guitar lines.
Siouxsie and the Banshees probably couldn't either, because this is the only thing that explains why they kept switching between harder-rocking, more hook-oriented Goth-pop like The Scream and Juju, and mellower, moodier, more vague atmospheric albums like Kaleidoscope and this one.
It has all the trademark ingredients of a Siouxsie classic - a slow, hypnotic riff, a sad 18th century violin arrangement, mournfully chiming bells, a strange 'hissing' percussion sound, an ear-destructive distorted guitar chord for the rhythm, a doom-laden vocal delivery, and lyrics that deal with madness induced by deprivation of the beloved one.

 Siouxsie and the Banshees - The Creatures - Steven Severin - www.untiedundone.com
By the spring of '76, Siouxsie (as she was now calling herself in homage to the Native American Sioux tribe), Severin and a gaggle of glam-dram poseurs from suburban Kent, famously christened "The Bromley Contingent" by Melody Maker journalist Caroline Coon, had become the Pistols' ubiquitous front row.
Siouxsie herself would attend Pistols shows in a cut-out bra exposing her tits, staged her own "Sex Olympics" at a debauched house party and took gay friend "Berlin" to the pub on a leash.
The 100 Club gig increased Siouxsie's infamy in the music weeklies, beating The Slits' Ari-Up and X-Ray Spex's PolyStyrene to the position of female Rotten, but it was her supporting role in the historic Bill Grundy TV interview of December 1,1976 that would give her column inches in the tabloids.

 Siouxsie Sioux concert review, House of Blues, Chicago, IL Sept. 2, 2004
And though much older than back in her original incarnation with the Banshees, Sioux was dressed to kill as well, dawning a floor length kimono and vibrant feathered hair piece.
Much of the joy derived from this set was the fact that Sioux wasn't bound by any associations this time around, thus letting her hair down to cover any career period she desired.
Of course, the many Banshees nuggets (especially the cheery "Happy House" and their signature take on "Dear Prudence") were the most heartily received since, after all, that period not only capitulated Sioux to fame, but also served as her most critical and commercial crest.

Released in the fall of 2002, The Best of Siouxsie and the Banshees is what looks like a hasty, arbitrary collection of a few of their hit singles, some of which have been sent back through the music studio machinery and warped in a very unpleasant way, and one previously unreleased track.
Siouxsie, the vocalist, and Steven Severin, the bassist, were the two principal songwriters, and drummer Budgie was with the band for most of its lifetime.
He uses ridiculous phrases like "an arresting exercise in sampledelica" to describe the music and his cold, objective prattle is topped in arrogance only by Siouxsie herself, who was actually bothered to donate a few of her own words, interview-style.

 TrouserPress.com :: Siouxsie and the Banshees
In 1976, Siouxsie Sioux (Susan Dallion) and Steve Severin were part of the clique of steady suburban London Sex Pistols fans known as the Bromley Contingent.
As Siouxsie and the Banshees, the nascent punk rock stars debuted at the 100 Club's legendary 1976 punk festival; aided by future Ant guitarist Marco Pirroni and the unknown Sid Vicious on drums, the motley crew bashed through a lengthy free-form rendition of "The Lord's Prayer," stopping only when they became bored.
Soon after the Banshees released Juju, Siouxsie and Budgie, calling themselves the Creatures, collaborated on a five-song double-45 of voice-and-percussion pieces, including a nasty reworking of the Troggs' classic "Wild Thing." The full-length Feast, however, is a dilettantish excursion into the only previously untested flavor-of-the-month: Hawaiian.

They say that Siouxsie - not unlike her friend and fellow performer Genesis P-Orridge, as well as the writer of great inspiration William S. Burroughs, and many others impossible to list - had in her younger years devoted a bit of time to the study of Alistair Crowley.

Siouxsie and Budgie took the stage alone, as I had only once seen them, in 1990 in Cleveland, now just as then they performed songs "in the raw" from their very first recording together as the Creatures way back in 1981, the Wild Things EP/double-7" gatefold work of art.

 DVD.net : Siouxsie and the Banshees - The Seven Year Itch - DVD Review
Dark, tribal, majestic and evocative, their music took the unique, soaring voice of Siouxsie Sioux (real name Susan Dallion) and laid it atop Steve Severin’s rumbling, menacing bass guitar and the intricate and urgent drumming of the curiously-named Budgie (real name Peter Clarke), who’d previously played in the short-lived but future-big-name-filled Big in Japan.
Nobody else has ever sounded like Siouxsie and the Banshees, and when they called it a day in 1996 it was, despite a disappointing final album in The Rapture, the end of something truly special.
Sure to be hugely appreciated by the band’s many loyal fans, The Seven Year Itch proves that while Siouxsie and the Banshees have passed the quarter-century mark as a going concern, they’ve lost none of their edge.

 ORANGE COUNTY WEEKLY OC Weekly: Live Reviews: An Evening With Siouxsie   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Siouxsie made her own grand entrance in a flowing geisha-girl robe, not-so-cynically remarking, "Welcome to the Fourth Reich—Disneyland!" She’d work the crowd with the joviality of a female Dean Martin, and she showed little in the way of age, both physically and vocally—unlike some of her contemporaries in the Sex Pistols.
While neither the Banshees nor the Creatures (Siouxsie and Budgie’s percussion and vocal side project, which eventually blossomed into a real band) were what you’d call Goth—pretty much predating the whole thing anyway—we can’t but help think of things in those terms with so many quasi-Goths in attendance.
Siouxsie took her band—sweaty from an honest night’s work—arm in arm to say goodnight and smiled.

 Rosa Selvaggia - Fanzine Oscura
Ebbene sì, proprio lei, Siouxsie Sioux, con i suoi Banshees prima aveva contribuito a fondare il dark, poi aveva dato alle stampe uno degli album più belli della stagione appena trascorsa, The Scream, ed infine, in primavera, aveva anche pubblicato un altro singolo un po’ ruffiano, quindi di successo, come The Staircase (Mistery).
I Banshees erano gli stessi: Siouxsie alla voce, il fido Steve Severin al basso, l’eccellente chitarrista-sassofonista John McKay (cui, fra l’altro, veniva attribuito il merito delle soluzioni musicali di The Scream) e Kenny Morris, batterista ossessivo ed un po’ tribale.
Un effetto oscuro e claustrofobico accentuato ulteriormente dalla voce effettata di Siouxsie che declama una sorta di filastrocca funebre dall’eloquente finale: «we are the dead».
