Siouxsie Sioux Ends Her ‘Mantaray & More’ Tour

Going back in the studio to record a new album
Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

Pink reader Mykah was able to attend the finale show of Siouxsie Sioux’s Mantaray & More Tour at Koko in London, England Monday night and was cool enough to send in a few pics taken by photographer Sidney Rosa the live performance. Here are a few pics and some info about the show itself:


Siouxsie played her last gig from the Mantaray & More Tour on Monday the 29th @ Koko in london. The show was recorded for a future DVD release. Siouxsie Will be returning to the studio shortly to start work on another studio album which she revealed to Nemone for the BBC on Radio 6 music.

You may recall that I was lucky enough to see Siouxsie (of Siouxsie and the Banshees and The Creatures fame) live in concert in NYC with my very good friend Diana this past February so I am very grateful to Mykah for giving us the head’s up about this show and am really looking forward to the DVD release of this performance. Sioux is a musical goddess and I weep for those of you who are unfamiliar with her work. She is truly a legend and I am just thrilled that she is showing no signs of retirement. While I’m not too keen on the sparkly Bea Arthur-like dress that Sioux wears in that last pic, I just love the woman and her craft to death. Now that she’s completed a year of touring, I hope she is able to rest up and will be comin’ back at us with a new disc of material very soon.

‘The Edge Of Love’ Premieres

Friday, June 20th, 2008

Keira Knightley, Sienna Miller and Siouxsie Sioux were among the attendees at the afterparty for the London premiere of the new movie The Edge of Love which took place at The Berkeley last night. Here are a few pics from the afterparty red carpet:


The Edge of Love tells the tale of the love triangle between two women (played by Knightley and Miller) and poet Dylan Thomas (played by Matthew Rhys) and the complexities that come from chosing between two loves and possibly betraying a friend. You know, your usual fun time at the movies. Siouxsie Sioux was among the guests at the premiere and afterparty because she sings the song Careless Love which is featured on the movie soundtrack (and can be heard HERE on a Siouxsie My Space profile). To be honest, I’m not really a fan of these sorts of romantic/drama flicks … so I will most likely not be seeing it at all … but I love that Siouxise was tapped to sing one of the songs on the soundtrack (which features songs that Keira Knightley sings as well) … and, of course, I love posting pics of the faboo Ms. Sioux. If anyone sees this movie and thinks it’s worth my time, shoot me a message … I’m interested to hear what y’all think.
