Her and her band are responsible for one of my, probably top 3, favourite cover versions, Dear Prudence is a masterpiece.

twredfish.bsky.social•4 days ago

Peek A Boo was the first song I heard by her.

thedarkmind.bsky.social•3 days ago

Back in 1991, I was in an Alabama hospital watching my sister die of a gunshot wound. "Kiss Them For Me" was on heavy rotation on MTV. It would briefly take me away from the horrific grief I was experiencing and somehow became an anthem. Forever indebted.

leoluvh.bsky.social•4 days ago

One of my favorite singers of all time and I've been following rock and roll for 60 years!

raspyman.bsky.social•4 days ago

A one of a kind original

An important plot point in Jeepers Creepers

@55 I still love her

gofonseca.bsky.social•4 days ago

Was she the inspiration for Death in Sandman?

violetscarf.bsky.social•4 days ago

At 14, I would sit in the mirror, and try to make myself look exactly like her.

zephyrcoles.bsky.social•4 days ago

I had such a crush on her growing up,love her music

veggieman801.bsky.social•4 days ago

As a kid, I worked security at one of her shows. I was front stage, looking at the crowd. During one of her songs she bent over and put me in a headlock and said “off with the heads of authoritarianism. That was fun…

Happy Birthday Siouxsie!

Is she celebrating #68 at the Happy House?

hecubus.bsky.social•4 days ago

I think she’s happy here.

stitched.bsky.social•4 days ago

In that Happy House

Siouxsie is goddess.

thebatman9000.bsky.social•4 days ago

I thought they were more goth than punk. The goth people expressed rebellion against social norms with expression that challenged the gender norms while punk was a form of rebellion against the political system that incentivized racism and greed over the needs of if’s people.

muttonbird.bsky.social•4 days ago

They were punk and adopted by Goths

daxleone.bsky.social•4 days ago

A true original musical revolutionary 💜💜💜

ihellaloveberkeley.bsky.social•4 days ago

One of my favorite front row shows!

OH THIS DIVA

redwoodgeorge.bsky.social•4 days ago

I saw Souixsie and the Banshees once back in the mid-80's when they opened for Devo (yes, it was quite the night)

stitched.bsky.social•4 days ago

Wow. The whiplash of those acts would be incredible.

shawn-unsimulated.bsky.social•4 days ago

Saw her at Saratoga Performing Arts Center in ‘91 for Lollapalooza. She came on stage and said she had missed the previous couple of dates because she had laryngitis and it was her first show back and she hoped she was ready.
She was amazing! Still get goosebumps reminiscing.❤️

scottyd89.bsky.social•4 days ago

@stinasdemons.com from your post yesterday, I’m wondering if you knew today was her birthday.

stinasdemons.com•4 days ago

Oh! How serendipitous!! I *didn't* know, just got overcome with an urge to listen to her- little coincidences like this happen to me a lot, lol. My heart must've known even though my brain didn't 😆

grambi.bsky.social•4 days ago

Peek A Boo

joeking.bsky.social•4 days ago

My heroine!!! Happy Birthday Siouxsie!

lauralumachini.bsky.social•4 days ago

I fell in love with her and her band watching the video "Dear Prudence" shot in Venice and after many years I watch it again on YouTube.
Happy birthday Siouxsie Sioux!

areyounickrivers.bsky.social•4 days ago

Their cover of The Passenger is fantastic. They took a great song and actually made it better.

geohead.bsky.social•4 days ago

I caught on too late. Stupid uncool friends!

If a more beautiful woman exists I’ve yet to see her.

keeperofthekey.bsky.social•4 days ago

Saw her in concert.

peenbeanmcqueen.bsky.social•4 days ago

If I had art like this in my younger days, I would've been a lot cooler a lot sooner (Still not that cool)

stevecooganfan.bsky.social•4 days ago

Amazing pioneering artist

dhcalifornicus.bsky.social•3 days ago

Spectacular performer, even early on. And what a band!

Happy birthday 🥳 dear

crazychihuahualady.bsky.social•4 days ago

My mom always let me go to any show I wanted to go to UNTIL 1987 when I was 15 and Carol B showed my mom a pic of Siouxsie before we were set to go and see her that weekend. F, Carol B. She ruined what would have been my flawless streak of seeing all the greats in their prime.

nromanek.bsky.social•4 days ago

That was on the Peep Show tour too. I'm so sorry that happened to you.

crazychihuahualady.bsky.social•3 days ago

It sure was. Last I heard Carol B joined a religious cult. Figures.

nromanek.bsky.social•3 days ago

Goddamn that Carol.

dorian-araneda.bsky.social•4 days ago

I liked her in the recent astrix series as the Goth therapist "Apothika"

I love Siouxsie and the Banshees!

New Wave and 80s Punk are my vibe, my jam, my groove.

I am the MTV generation (from when MTV actually played music).

alexfaveluke.bsky.social•4 days ago

Cities in dust has been getting stuck in my head a lot.
