Siouxie & the Banshees - June 2, 1986

This one got by me from last week! Siouxie and the Banshees were terrific - all the punk girls I know adored her as well as Nina Hagen. Stylistically they both inspired a lot of the fashion among the young women in the scene. I also liked the proto-Goth Love & Rockets even though neither of these acts are punk - early alternative I guess you'd call them. Love & Rockets were named after a popular comic book - not the other way around as I had imagined. The comic was another pioneer in "alternative" entertainment.
Siouxsie - methinks Nikki Sixx may have been a fan.
The lovely Nina Hagen
