Siouxsie And The Banshees - Slowdive

[@charliekane135]

The 1980's was the best decade to be young and alive EVER. I wouldn't swap it for the world 🎉🥳🍾🎈👯

[@tutts999]

Me either. Fantastic music and fashion that never stood still.

[@melissak5107]

Siouxsie was so ahead of her time. Look at her doing acrobatics, her little flash of white crimped hair. Have always loved this woman from the first time hearing the Juju album. I love Rosin Murphy too. Very interesting how she is currently sporting SS's makeup (ok - colours a bit muted).

[@dominica4799]

I agree she is so cool. One of my favourite musicians

[@tamaraclaire1842]

I loved A Kiss in the Dreamhouse. All great songs.

[@akegan]

What's her music like?

[@jtarantula3390]

Great taste, Siouxsie and RM 😻

[@devorahmora7443]

Que estilo ,me encanta❤

[@wescooley34]

Nobody will ever come close to her styles she was and still is streets ahead of any female artist ever a pure genius

[@cathsalazar9930]

Yes as well as Nina Hagan! Sings Smack Jack! Luv it, do u??? Fave females then & Kate Bush! Cheers from🇺🇸❤️👍🔥

[@trevorloughlin1492]

Bjork is a contender. But the Banshees were more than the sum of their parts, a bit like the Bunnymen or Chameleons.

[@cathsalazar9930]

@@trevorloughlin1492 ah yes theses two outstanding bands. Was so lucky to see Bunnymen several times in my area, & hag out after crowd, glad he’s still touring. Unfortunately my favorite Talk Talk became my fave still today just never got recognized here in 🇺🇸, very few gigs in 🇺🇸. Glad to have 80’s music. Still my fave time. And glad some still tour etc.

[@saraivatoledo1842]

Yeah, agreed -she should had dated Messiah Marcolin at some point in the 80s though.

[@ledivo59]

"Gothic-Disco" at its best! Priceless Being a fan from 1978 onwards she really took me/us on a marvellous journey - and she/they definitely knew when the party was over for S&Bs to bow out with grace, respect!

[@flashlight8883]

It’s a slowdive - when you die slow Oh it’s low jive - do the slowdive I like these lines so much, just amazing

[@Allaloneisallweare]

I thought it's "when you dive slow"

[@gpwnedable]

Yeah, it's poetry, lol.

[@TheKinoEye]

Specifically danced to this in NY clubs back in the day, when it was new. Listening to it today sounds like an up and coming band, borrowing the sound of early 80s New Wave music

[@colleendito2046]

My first girl crush, had a huge poster of her in my room. 1980, wow, literally a lifetime time ago.

[@thunder_heads]

Same here. She terrifyed me as a kid but I now realise I just fancied her

[@soft_serve_666]

I too had a total girl crush on Siouxsie Sioux. I also had a poster of her on my wall in high-school (late 90's) It was the one with Robert Smith of The Cure and she has her arm around him. I thought it was just so cool. It was a big hit with my friends too. My mom? Not so much. Oh to be a teenager again.

[@dreamingnihilist653]

Andrea shmandrea lol me too and i had the exact same poster next to my morrissey poster of course, i’ll never forget seeing siouxsie kiss another women i about had a heart attack, actually i got to see her in person when she was touring with the creatures pretty amazing

[@saudade969]

Cool

[@orangemancometh]

Kind of into them when in high school. In college, my girlfriend was a huge fan so, naturally, I got back into them. ;)

[@johnmarcovich5684]

Siouxsie Sioux is the real Madonna or Lady Gaga. She did it all. And better. Such a great musician and band. They havent made one bad song.

[@punkpoetry]

Commenting on a piece by Igor Stravinsky: “Igor Stravinsky was the real Justin Bieber. He did it all. And better.”

[@deathmetalhell]

no lil nas x is the real madonna or lady gaga

[@fernandosantiago9144]

so T R U E

[@boobraschmidt2199]

Theyve all ripped her off. Siouxsie did it all better tho even before she was famous. She got press for what she wore at gigs and stuff. And she is so dignified unlike Madonna who is old and making a fool of herself. I love Gaga tho.

[@wipi4413]

J'adore depuis mes 15 ans. Merci ! ❤️

[@cantankeroussquonk]

Who never knew, until this very day, that there was a video for this awesome track?

[@andrewphippsphillips1455]

Looked so divine in this era and the white streaks amplify that image so well. People rave about Madonna at that time, but there's no way that she could've tolerated what Siouxsie put up with on stage, nor have the gumption to stand up to it.

[@JayTyrus]

Guess this explains where the band "Slowdive" got their name from.

[@EmblemParade]

Not exactly. Rachel did think of this name and knew of the Banshees song, but was inspired more directly by a dream Nick had where he came up with "Slowburn". True story.

[@royalnass1029]

so I thought

[@ECCENTRICERIC69]

@@EmblemParade So why not call themselves 'Slowburn"?!!

[@renzoyo7037]

TOTALLY this came out in 84!!!

[@JuanRamirez-rj5ws]

@@EmblemParade the name came from the Banshees song, of that there is no doubt. Slowdive guys are fans of the band.

[@davidellis5141]

Here in 🇺🇸 we never saw these. MTV not grooving with Siouxsie. Thanks for uploading.A nation salutes you.

[@CantakerousAnywhere]

David Ellis Wrong. MTV's 160 Minutes introduced a lot of oblivious people to REAL music.

[@BlueRosebuds]

120 Minutes.

[@ionia23]

I remember vividly seeing the video for "Cities In Dust" in regular rotation. Likewise when the video for "Peek A Boo" came out. That was on constantly.

[@marybell75]

@@ionia23 yep used to see Peek A Boo all the time on regular air time and then the rest of these vids on 120 minutes.

[@RunToEternity]

I probably only found out about all the videos of Siouxsie and the Banshees, and got them because I was on the mail serve list back in the early 90's. Connecting with other SATB fans on email back then was so exciting! You lose touch with your old email pals, and you wonder what they are doing now, you know?

[@Acoustic-Rabbit-Hole]

A true performance band, they almost never even bothered to tell a story through their music videos. To to, say, The Eurythmics, who literally defined what a music video could be. One the Banshee’s most stunning videos was, _The Last Beat of My Heart_ where Siouxsue just sort of lets the words themselves tell the love story. A truly breathtaking video.

[@japan906]

The ultimate foursome lineup and notice it’s impact on their “Peek-A-Boo” song and video over a decade later. Cool, shared class.

[@keith-leecastle6700]

Last track on A Kiss In The Dreamhouse album. Hugely underrated album.

[@Tsureiki]

How did you find out about Siouxsie at 14? A friend? I wish I would've known about them at that age.

[@Missjunebugfreak]

Siouxsie's utterly captivating in a distinctive manner.

[@richtunes]

This is the Banshees track that changed my life! 🖤🖤🖤

[@SaintMartins]

Yes it's true. Singer/guitarist Rachel Goswell of the British Shoegazer band SLOWDIVE confirmed she did in fact name her band after this S&B song.

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

And then there's a Canadian band that named itself after another Banshees song... Cities in Dust.

Totally agree

[@22Phantasm]

they're and Siouxsie

[@JRStephens5005]

I love the "Oh my God" at the end. Very sensual.

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

That came from violinist Anne Stephenson. Sioux's instructions to her and Ginny Hewes were to "play slow and get tired."

[@garyz2043]

I get the feeling,whatever Siouxie said they did. I probably would of as well. Damn right!

[@jorgeAlan395]

Perfect in everything

[@tutts999]

Best thing they done. Still unbelievable.

[@firecracker187]

Git yer head down to the ground Shake it all around, a dirty sound. Git yer knees into yer face And see if you can race real slow It's a slow dive When ya dive slow. Aw it's a low jive Do the Slowdive. Git yer head down to the ground Shake it all around a dirty sound. Git yer knees into yer face And see if you can race real slow Now ya jump back like a hound Emit a howling sound Dig those limbs into the floor! And holler out for more! And ya revel in the dips When yer backbone slips Takin' honeysuckle sips From yer rollin' hips It shifts and shifts It's a Slow Dive! Slow dive! When ya dive slow! It's a Low Jive! Do the Slow dive! It's a Slow Dive! Slow dive! When ya come alive It's a low jive Do the Slow Dive! Slow dive! Slow dive! Do the Slow Dive Slow dive! Slow dive! Do the Slow Dive Slow dive! Slow dive! When you dive slow When ya come alive! It's a low jive Do the Slow Dive Do the slow dive Slow dive! Uh Git yer head down to the ground And shake it all around a dirty sound. Git yer knees into yer face And see if you can race real slow. It's a Slow Dive When ya dive slow Awhh it's a low jive Do the Slow dive

Now that I come to think of it, I vaguely recall seeing this video for the first time either at Berlin, Chicago's first new wave video bar on W Belmont or it was at Cabaret Metro (now Metro) on N Clark St in Wrigleyville. This vid jarred my memory. I'm talking about when this first came out in the early 80s sometime. Many years later, me and a then gf of mine in the late 90s saw Siouxsie perform at the VIc Theatre in Lakeview neighborhood (Chicago). Siouxie was really late. My gf and I started joking that she was probably in the back inhaling a mountain full of white dust. Later eventually she and the band came on to perform but it wasn't all that great. Well at least I got to see them live even though it wasn't in their heyday of the 80s. Sidebar: that same gf went on to become the mother of my 1st child. Yay!

[@jeffn.2659]

I used to live at 910 Addison, and loved walking Smart Bar, Medusa's, Berlin, The Avalon, The Vic, Club 950...all those great clubs! You brought back some great memories.

@@jeffn.2659 Avalon - i forgot about that place. It was where King Tut's used to be on the 2nd floor, W Belmont and N Sheffield. Many years later I lived a few blocks south of there on Oakdale.
