Siouxsie Sioux
Siouxsie Sioux, the lead singer of Siouxsie and the Banshees (1976-1996), one of the original punk bands, was born Susan Ballion in London, England, to a Belgian Walloon father and an English/Scottish mother. 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 : Le Défi (1992) and Showgirls (1995). After a twenty-year career, 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.

In 2008, Siouxsie provided vocals for the track "Careless Love" on The Edge of Love (2008) soundtrack by frequent David Lynch collaborator, and composer Angelo Badalamenti. In 2011, Sioux was honored with the Q Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music, and in 2012, the Ivor Novello Awards's Inspiration Award.

    • Trivia
      One of Sioux's first public appearances was with the Sex Pistols on Bill Grundy's television show, on Thames Television in December 1976. Standing next to the band, Sioux made fun of the presenter when he asked her how she was doing. She responded: "I've always wanted to meet you, Bill". Grundy, who was drunk, suggested a meeting after the show. That directly provoked a reaction from guitarist Steve Jones, who responded with a series of expletive words never heard before on early-evening television. This episode created a media uproar on the front covers of several tabloids, including the 'Daily Mirror', which published the headline "Siouxsie's a Punk Shocker". This event had a major impact on the Sex Pistols' subsequent career, and overnight, they became a household name.
    • Quotes
      I despair when I pass Oxford Street and see bondage and leather and studs everywhere. It's become quite acceptable to go to work like that, it's disgusting. [As quoted in "The Banshees' guide to secretly having fun" by Andy Strike in 'Record Mirror' (24 March 1984)].
