Siouxsie Sioux was the lead singer of Siouxsie and the Banshees (1976-1996), one of the original punk bands. The band evolved from punk, to Goth and psychedelia to a more accessible sound in more recent years. The band was featured on the first Lollapalooza tour and provided original songs for "Batman Returns" and "Showgirls." After a career of over a dozen diverse albums and amassing a huge cult following, the group disbanded in April 1996 just as the Sex Pistols, their original inspiration, decided to cash in on the recent interest in punk music and tour again.
At the start of their career, Talking Heads were all nervous energy, detached emotion, and subdued minimalism. When they released their last album about 12 years later, the band had recorded everything from art-funk to polyrhythmic worldbeat explorations and simple, melodic guitar pop.
