There were really no more beautiful punk queens than Siouxie. Hell, I copied her hair for so long its a wonder she didn't sue me. What comes as a shock now is the news of a box set of Banshee fun.
Twenty freaking discs?
11 Albums, live recordings, DvD's .. wow. Amazing offering.
Steve Severin posted this on Facebook “‘Shees Mega Box back on the agenda. 20 discs! Including a DVD of this bastard show. Excited but a LOT of work to be done diving for unknown pearls.” followed by the video for "Regal Zone" in 1981.
Quoting Severin:
“It’s intended as the ‘complete’ box. All the studio albums plus singles plus non BBC live recordings & TV clips. So, if you have this plus At The BBC plus Downside Up you will have EVERYTHING bar the promo videos which I presume will surface as a stand-alone set eventually.”
So of course if they're out promoting this only one thing is left- reunion tour right?
Wrong
“There is more likelihood of Peter Hook touring a Banshees tribute band than there is of seeing the real thing tread the boards again. It’s over. Done. Dusted.”
