Siouxsie and the Banshees: A Kiss in the DreamHouse
Lucy O'Brien, 'Love is the Drug' (Penguin), 1994
ALTHOUGH SHE'D been one of punk's founding fathers, as it were, Siouxsie Sioux never really looked like she could last the distance. She's still here of course, a grand old dame of British rock, with a song on the Batman Returns soundtrack to keep interest perky.
