The one solo album Sioux released in 2007 was somber (to me) and really seemed to sum up her entire point of view on the Banshees and Budgie with one lyric on the closing track:
I would catch a star
If you asked me to
But I can't seem to find one
To hold on to

I still vividly remember the SATB
Peepshow tour in 1988- perhaps one of the best shows I have ever attended. It was theatrical, spooky and very, very
committed, if that is an appropriate descriptor. With her Louise Brooks wedge haircut and dark makeup, she reminded me of Liza Minnelli in
Carousel. Oh.... Siouxsie is/was one of those rare performers who just had the most amazing stage presence- whose every move and inflection was perfectly matched by the music. I was convinced they were the coolest band ever when they performed the B-side "Something Blue" - a strange, random choice that was actually the showstopper of the night.
I adored Siouxsie's 2007 solo album and I think "Here Comes that Day" should have been featured in a James Bond movie. But sadly it seems that she just up and disappeared after that album. I wonder what happened?
