Siouxsie And The Banshees @ Top Rank Suite		Review
Full to capacity gig in support of the Banshees album Kaleidoscope. Altered Images were going well until someone upset the drummer & he temporarily left the stage. Nevertheless they put in a great set. Athletico Spizz 80 were a surprise - & very welcome - addition to the lineup. Spizz was a bit angry with the spitters in the audience & pretended to mow them down with a toy rifle during Soldier Soldier. Siouxsie & the Banshees were incredibly powerful, starting the gig with the venue in total darkness as the band walked on to the intro tape. Starting with 'Helter Skelter' the lights came up as Siouxsie high kicked the air & the audience went wild. They had some equipment failure during 'Clockface' but soon got going again. It was a set comprising mostly of material from Kaleidoscope plus a few tracks from the debut album The Scream, some singles & B sides plus some new material. The line up, which included John McGeogh, Steve Severin & Budgie were the strongest I had seen the band in quite a while. They played for about 90 minutes, coping very well with the spitters in the crowd - at one point (just before 'Switch') Siouxsie threatened to walk off stage if they didn't stop spitting, saying that the band 'always keep their promises' A superb gig in every way.
