Happy 35th birthday

to Siouxsie and the Banshees, today.



[Part 1 of the 100 Club show from this date in 1976]



[...and part 2.]

Their goal was to bore the hell out of people by screaming and playing randomly for as long as possible, but apparently people really enjoyed them, so the Banshees wound up getting bored first and wandering off after 20 minutes of screaming the Lord's Prayer and bits of pop songs.

Yup.

Here, have something more listenable from a year later. :)



[The Banshees perform "Captain Scarlet," 1977]
